Aim Assist is on by default for keyboard and mouse, no way to turn it off

Do you know how many times I didn't get my frenzy charge with disengage because the dang auto aim makes me hit way over there? Or how I miss a guy with rapid assault who is just out of range instead of hitting the guy right behind me I'm trying to switch to? Please just disable auto aim on WASD!

Ed\contagon get a buff, but its literally unplayable - you cant hit low-hp target with contagon ore best squishy target on a line with ed. Literally dropped my build attempt today cuz AFTER 4 MONTH NO FIX YET!

I Literally quit the game in the first league from trying to play ED/Contagion, swapped to Monk, both too frustrating to play with aim assist.
Now with the new league I was playing Merc, realised there STILL is no option to turn off aim assist and am just not returning to this game until this isn't a thing.
Agreed I'd like this as bone blast would be much more useful to use as you would be able to put it where they are going to be

On release when playing sorc it bothered me less, but now when playing Huntress with parry and disengage it is getting in the way a lot.
I'm all here for the engaging combat gameplay, but for that I need to be able to control my character fully. I understand what is the feature trying to do and it might be useful on a controller, but there needs to be the option to turn it off.
Please ggg, this needs some priority, it is impacting the gameplay significantly.

bone storm going directly into the floor instead of hitting the titan grotto boss was what uninstalled my game. I didn't even finish the fight. I saw my first 3 bonestorms go into the floor and immediately closed and uninstalled the game.

after excitedly coming back for the first season i, promptly lost all interest once i was reminded just how game-ruining the mandatory auto-aim is.

insanely bad design. why on earth would ranged aoe spells have auto-aim WITHOUT the option to turn it off?
I understand that the game is still early access, and i'd be totally fine with an undercooked auto-aim system IF i could just disable it.

until i see "auto aim is now optional" or AT LEAST "abilities no longer snap to enemies that aren't moused-over" in the patch notes, this game will have to stay uninstalled :(

I love poe2 and I've happily sunk many hours and dollars into this game and poe1. please make this game playable for me and the many others in this thread.
+1. We chose our location for casting the skill for a reason. Auto aim often negates the intention of the cast resulting in a position of cast you didn't want. This should be a toggle option, so people who still want it can use it and those who don't, don't have to. It could be on a skill by skill basis similar to how attack without moving is implemented. Thanks.
