Helpful controller / console targetting settings (primarily for movement attack skills).

I hope this helps new players. Your experience may differ.

Changing the Targeting Mode settings (the Big square option on the far left side of the top row in Skill Bind) is essential for controller users. Setting Melee to Direction Priority, Soft Lock, and Focus Fire(L2+L1) is great with movement skills set to R1 or R2 (PS5) because using both R & L joysticks to set/maintain/control(ish) movement direction and not just head towards highlighted or closest target. Allows for quick egress, too. Additionally, keeping Targeting Area and Range Bias off helps cut down on accidental targeting, especially with movement-based attacks. Setting Ranged to have check marks next to Targeting Area and Soft Lock allows for kiting while running backwards and offers better target control, IMO (at least for my melee build with its single ranged attack). Next, set Targeting mode back to automatic. I was not enjoying movement-based attacks till I figured this out.
