Sounds like auto aim is the real issue, not the existence of WASD/controller input, so assign the blame correctly. This problem is fixable without touching or complaining about anything else.
FWIW, on a controller, the auto aim leaves a lot to be desired too, but one can get used to it.
Ascend with precision.

WHAT? This has to be a a troll post. Put on WASD, now walk backwards and aim forwards, amazing, you are now walking and casting in differect directions! EASY!
My post was about mouse-control - i guess its not that clear if you only read this post of mine. Should have stated it differently.

Pretty sure the "you can't lol" was referencing what you said about mouse you can't. You can very much click farther than you want to go, then attack while moving. No, you cannot change direction and attack at the exact same time, but precision trumps speed...and what's 20ms to swipe your mouse from a location to a monster when you can pixel perfect pinpoint that mob if you're good enough?
Here we go. You word your flaws. If you play range spell, you don't aim the monster you keep your mouse close to your character model and you fire in the general direction, wich is 100% faster.
If you're playing a melee skill you clip your atack while moving, I don't know why you'd need to aim a melee skill lmfao.
You're welcome for teaching you how to play.

You most definitely can aim skills wherever your cursor is while running after having clicked the top of the screen or while using a movement ability bound to spacebar or something lol, even speedrunners do that kind of optimization in the campaign in PoE 1.
If I tried wasd I'd probably be worse at the game than I am now because of how clunky it would feel. My brain is literally used to the game being click-to-move not having controls like its an MMO.
Yes you can - no one ever denied that - but you cant do both at the same time with mouse controls.
For example if you have to avoid traps or whatever on the floor while attacking - you cant do that at the same time with only mouse since you use one controller for both things.

Thank you for saying exactly what I said in my initial post AND even clarified later.

Glad you're able to tell me how I play anything. Ice Strike monk. Melee. Must be in face of enemy, teleports TO enemy, so must AIM to teleport.
Take your fucking superiority complex and shove it back up in your mom.

If you have to avoid a trap while attacking (wich is really nitpicking); don't attack, especially in poe2. Attacking slow your MS by half, if you attack while you need to dodge a trap in PoE2 you'll eat the trap.
Another clever point?

Out of every single skill you chose the very worse lmfao. Telling me WASD is superior for ice strike monk and you need to aim is hilarious. I can't.
I can literaly click ice strike 1 time clip it and play the entire game without clicking it again. What do you mean AIM ICE STRIKE. Can you people stop throwing the most idiotic shit out there.
And I'm not trying to feel superior, I'm a big ball of shit. Your points are just that stupid.

Judging skill choice for no reason, okay.
I never said WASD is superior for ice strike. I said the auto-aim they put in the game BECAUSE of WASD movement carries over to M&K and makes the skill WORSE.
I'm sorry you can't.
Can click ice strike once literally and play the entire game without clicking it again. You can literally do something impossible. Seeing as how going to new areas...all that. So you literally can't.
I mean I want Ice Strike to take me to the enemy I select, not the enemy 5 meters away from my cursor that the game chose instead.
You are trying to feel superior, self deprecation is an attempt to seem humble.
You are a big ball of shit.
Whatever, man.

I can also invent imaginary problems.
Let say you play WASD and you kept the basic shortcuts.
Now you need to strafe upleft and press your defensive on Q shortcut to save your life.
Have fun pressing pressing QWA at the same time in a split second. So superior, such wow.
