Flame Dash Improvement Suggestion



When you want to cast Flame Dash at max range, your cursor must be precisely at max range in order to do so. If your cursor is less than that, you will only move to the cursor, which is fine. The issue is when you if your cursor is beyond max range, it will make your character run the difference in distance and THEN cast at max range.

I know this may sound a little nit-picky, but this creates some awkward mechanical issues during play. Changing it so that it will simply cast at max range from your position if your cursor is beyond max range would be a welcome usability upgrade.

I've tried to illustrate the difference to avoid confusion.

Click the skill on your skillbar and check the, "always attack in place", toggle or whatever the specific words are.
i set flame dash as my main mouse button, then hit shift (or ~ as i remapped to) when i want to activate it.

i do this with all movement skills.

i do wish they could add a check box to remove name locking though, as on larger bosses this gets me killed.

IMO this should be the default for movement skills. If you want to use a SKILL to MOVE you don't want to WALK to MOVE.

Also the option is not the most obvious one for new players, a person I know that tried to play the game was also running into the same issue. Until they mentioned the issue and I mentioned the option.

Agree. Making it default would be quite welcome. I've been playing for years and only found out about it in this thread.
