Controller Pick Up/Interact Function

Can the pick up/interact function you can bind as a secondary bind be altered to work even when targeting an enemy if the skill over it is on cooldown or not usable?

For example, let’s say I have Infernal Cry on X as well as the interact function on X. During an ultimatum trial where I have to pick up soul cores I cannot pick up the soul cores if there is an enemy nearby as the game will prioritize my infernal cry even when it’s on cooldown or I don’t have the mana for it.

If the functionally would change for this, I could at least activate Infernal Cry then spam X to pick up the soul core.

As is, the soul core ultimatum trials and death crystal sanctum trials are extremely frustrating on controller.

I hate that interact turns off when monsters are in the area. It feels really bad to not be able to click on death crystals in an escape trial or pick up a super rare currency drop. I would dedicate a button to it if I had to, but currently that doesn't really solve the issue.

I came to support this thread.

A interact is really problemtic with enemies in the area for looting, doing objectives and I have been having issues reviving teammates as well.

Can this please be looked at is actually really frustrating not being able to interact with stuff that I need too to progress like in the trials for example

I did a search before coming here and seems some people on redit have mentioned also

Remove the binding and it defaults to interact only and then you can pick up things. There's plenty of other bind options, surely?

you can use the right analog stick to select things when mobs are near, you just move it up or down depending on the direction. Not even sure how i figured this out as it's not explained anywhere in the game/options

Due to the Death Crystals being impossible to press while monsters are around it I'm still stuck on 2 ascendency points on level 75 and wasted about 10 tries on trials.
It is clearly a major problem. Hope for an alternative or prioritze objectives/loot on controller option. Soon rather than later.

You can interact while in combat in PoE1 I don't know why they would remove it. You cant pick up anything on the fly and we're forced to kill every single white monster. Slows down the game in a tedious way.
