Alt Behavior for Cast While Channelling and Cyclone

Problem:
The current alternate behavior for Cast While Channelling is to Cast a spell at the furthest distant possible. This inhibits a lot of builds from fully utilizing spells while using the Skill Cyclone to channel spells, because there is no way way to direct where the spell is being cast and what ends up happing majority of the time is the spell missing its intended target.

My main example for this is using the spell Desecrate, While having Cast while Channelling linked to Cyclone there are a couple skills that end up missing their cast because it requires a corpse and while maneuvering during gameplay, the secondary cast from skills like Volatile Dead, Flesh Offering and Detonate Dead end up missing.

The skill General's Cry ends up having a lot of problems utilizing Desecrate while using Cast while Channelling and Cyclone because the distance Desecrate is cast. General's Cry ends up not gaining its full power from the corpse generated from Desecrate or completely ends up missing altogether.
This example is fully seen while facing a boss, instead of trying to kite the Boss' attacks the player is forced to Cyclone towards the boss to have Desecrate be cast on top of the boss and for General's Cry Aoe to be in reach to obtain the required amount of power for General's Cry or either wise the corpses formed from Desecrate will be out of reach for General's Cry to summon Mirage Warriors effectively reducing the overall DPS of the player.

The player ends up having to use Cast on Crit to be able to use spells directly at the player.
If the player ends up having to rely of Cast on Crit for the Quality Of Life casting, other builds that use Resolute Technique or are Unarmed are missing out on effective casting.

Solution:
Have the alternate behavior for Cast while Channelling and Cyclone target the ground directly in front of the player or at the players location.

Another alternative is to have spells cast from Cast While Channelling auto target enemies so the user can appropriately maneuver while using Cyclone.
