Issues with Vire's Might skill while playing with a controller

[Tomkatt]

The new Oathkeeper skill Vire's Might is supposed to be able to pass through enemies and hit multiples in a group. Works just like that on keyboard and mouse.

When playing on a controller it targets like the Soldier's Blitz instead. Since on controller nearest target to the direction pressed on the stick is always the one highlighted, Vire's Might stops right at the front of whatever pack of mobs you're facing, and often doesn't hit many of them.

Just posting this since I'm pretty sure the devs are at least somewhat active on this forum and may see this (I don't use the official forum generally, and even if I have an account there I don't want to use it what with the recent forum hacks occurring).

Wondering if this is a bug or by design.

try uncheck gamepad target lock on option, so vire might will go to max distance.

Oh, didn't know that was an option. I'll try it tomorrow if I play and report back.

Will this impact the ability to aim at mobs in melee and ranged combat though? You can't really click and hold an enemy with a gamepad like you do with the mouse.
