Aim assist for controller

Hello. I've been playing Path of Exile 2 on Wireless Xbox controller for 50 hours, and would like to leave a feedback.

Overall I am glad that this game support controllers, and it is amazing. Thank you.

I have played as a witchunter with crossbow and grenades, and experienced some issues with aim assist/targeting.

Sometimes you do kite enemies, and can't backward to enemies while finding new enemies, which makes you aim to new enemies, not fighting with old ones.
Possible solution:
Close target priority slider. At max should always aim at the closest target.
Also would help "dynamic" checkbox to prior unique\rare monsters, that you could set on right stick - to left is default, to right is to prior bosses for example (at rare moments, when you would dinamictly switch priority system). Switching target all the time with the right stick is not an option to play the game since you do use ABXY buttons for skills or flasks.

There is a lot of moments when you run from the enemy and character doesn't aim to the target because you don't look at him.
Possible solution:
Checkbox: Always target an enemy, if there is one on the screen.

Also, the last one, that I would mention, is the problem when the enemy is attacking you, but you don't aim him because of various reasons.
Possible solution, that might help is Targeting distance slider. At max should aim any target that attacking you, even beyond the screen, because grenades have a fuse time, and you should throw them before they jump attack you.

I understand that game looks more beautiful, when character look at the direction he runs, but gameplay much more important, then how it looks. This is why I would prefer to have more aim-assist/targeting settings. As default we can have the same as it is working right now.

Thank you for your work and for the game!
