Control Scheme

The grim dawn control scheme is good. One major issue though is when using the new scheme it can be difficult for casters and ranged heroes to move around in large mobs. Since the move key is bound to the LMouse/Default attack key, any time the cursor moves over anything clickable the cursor automatically locks on and attacks. It can be very frustrating trying to get away from a mob with the entire screen full of creatures and explosions.

The old scheme is clunky. It will not auto lock/attack but the cursor will not highlight anything either. Once something is clicked to target, it stays in target mode as long as MButton is held. A click fest starts where you are trying to click toggle between move mode and attack mode.

I have tried combinations of "move here" assigned on the mouse button along side the main attack, and also combinations of using the standing attack key, but the move here ability suffers party from the same issue as the old scheme, it doesn't highlight clickable objects as you move around, and sometimes when I press the other mouse key to attack it seems to forget i was holding the move key and fails to resume movement when i stop attacking. This has resulted in a few untimely deaths. Standing attack only seems to use the weapon, and its not helpful to a caster using a spell as his main ability, and the ability still auto locks when assigned to left mouse.

It is nice nice to be able to move with the default attack key with an ability assigned to it and highlight objects in the world. Its most natural and there appears to be bonuses to some abilities if it is assigned to that key(at least that is what Firestrike implies...but im not sure if it is referring to a particular mouse key when it says "when used as your default attack"). But i would also like to not attack everything automatically.

So Id like to suggest a third option. Left mouse moves you around, and highlights world objects and enemies but does not auto lock and attack. Holding a key locks on target and attacks but with the ability assigned to Left Mouse instead of weapon, essentially toggling you into the "new scheme" as long as it is held. Highlighted movement without auto attack resumes when the key released. Something of a hybrid between old, new, move here and standing attack.
