targeting with PS5 controller

Hi, default targeting is very inconsistent feeling using a controller, it's as if it randomly chooses targets and actually feels worse than Path of Exile.

It seems I need to actually aim with my right stick while moving with my left, while pressing three to four buttons on rotation. This is fine when fighting slow moving mobs or bosses, but when things get hectic it's too much, so using the default targeting needs to be tighter

Yeah, PS5 targeting definitely needs fine tuning.

From what you're describing, I'm fairly certain you have "Target Lock" turned off; this will cause the closest mob to be targeted at all times.

You can rebind it to be accessible (i use Up arrow), and turn it on/off every few minutes. I turn "Target Lock" to "On" against certain type of mobs/maps, especially the ones with a lot of ambush, small corridors, pesky ranged rats, etc.

Nevertheless, targeting has to be address, Target Lock is not the root cause nor the solution, but it helps until then.
