Always-Attack-Without-Moving needs to be back in PoE2/fixing

Hello GGG,

Please add that back into the game, I have no idea why this isn't already in the game but please add it back.

The movement with Left mouse button is fine, always been fine in PoE1 too. Because when I click to move, it is the movement button, but it doesn't act like a "click to move".

In path of exile it seems to work like a "click to move". So I click somewhere with LMB, the character moves to that exact spot. If I use some skills while its moving it starts to use those skills while moving in that direction.


Now I absolutely HATE that way of controlling my character. Nor do I want to press SHIFT (hold movement when using skill) everytime I use a skill either.

I want to move my character using while holding the LMB button to move, and attack without moving when using skills. I feel like this is very important to me, and it really does NOT feel great without it now.


--EDIT--
It IS actually in the game... See the comment from Kerkain#4640:

The option to select it is in the skills window where you socket your gems. Click the > next to your DPS to expand the details of the skill gem, at the bottom should be a check box that sorta blends in with the UI that you can select to enable attack without moving and the weapon set passives.

--Edit 2--
Though, even if you select it. It is possibly bugged because it doesn't seem to functioning properly. As I am still moving apparently.

I get it's an adjustment moving while you're attacking but if you're trying to stand still while in combat in this game you are going to have a bad time anyway..
My Merc keeps running into melee range when Im firing my crossbow, its aggravating.

It's in the skill's detail menu if you haven't seen it there yet. Click the arrow pointing right, next to the its DPS, and the option will be on the bottom.
Damn, thanks guys! I they sure as hell put that in a very weird spot!
Thanks, it seems to do the trick for me. I am happy now. I been playing PoE with the always-attack-without-moving for as long as I can remember and I can't play without hehe :)

Happy that GGG didn't forget to put it in the game, I found it already a bit strange but I tried to look everywhere and couldnt find it!

So, thanks for the replies guys! you made me a happy man.

It took me until halfway through act 2 to find this. It completely transforms how you play and needs to be more easily findable. So easy to miss it on that screen.
i agree it definitely needs to be an option you can toggle on/off.
Path of Exile 2 (PoE2) includes an option to attack while staying in place by holding the Shift key or by editing individual skills to prevent movement while attacking (using a checkbox for this setting). Initially, everything seemed to work perfectly. I spent half a day grinding without any issues, using the Shift key to attack as intended. However, after about an hour, the issue started—my character began moving while attacking, even with Shift held down.

At first, I thought it might be a problem with my left Shift key, but I ruled that out since the same issue occurs with my right Shift key. This needs to be addressed urgently, as it’s really affecting my gameplay experience to the point where I feel like not playing anymore.
This only works for me with Explosive Grenade. Fragmentation Rounds and Permafrost Bolts uncheck themselves on the Skills menu when I close their tab.
