Targeting is off

Melee targeting especially for skills like perfect strike is extremely clunky, unless you know where the base of the enemy is and always aim for it, hovering over many enemies (especially the taller ones) will make you miss, as you will aim over them when attacking from either of their sides.

Haha!

Try shooting a ranged skill to your left / right, and see where the projectile goes relative to your cursor (it's like 4 feet above it).

No idea how this got through 15 mins of a single person playtesting.

Be a summon necro once, you just randomly aim off into the distance and start shooting curses at nothing at all.

Ye, the thing is youre ranged, so even if it´s bad it´s kinda safe, now try it with melee, when youre in a breach with over 200 mobs and youre targeting the ones close to you, and instead of attacking your character is trying to run past all those mobs to hit the guy in the back, and dont even get me started on the bell, how many time i place the bell and aim for it for my character to completely ignore it and start smacking the mobs instead.

Yer please allow us to turn off the automatic targeting.

thank you! i thought i was just crazy. sometimes my unearth is nowhere near my cursor and then contagion falls off the corpse while i'm trying actually hit it.
toggle to turn off corpse/enemy locking and just fire/attack towards cursor? Yes, absolutely, please.
Targeting is a mess, both for projectiles and AoE skills. On my hexblast character, I often can't even curse monsters during rituals, which means I can't hexblast, which means my build is bricked in what used to be some of my favorite league content. Everything works fine in the bigger areas they give you during the campaign's rituals, but in the rituals in maps, with the smaller ritual areas, skills don't reliably work for me.

I'm leveling a new character - currently just finished The Titan Grotto. I'm using orb of storms with 50% increased area (expanse support), with the skill bound to right click. You can see in the pic where my mouse cursor is, and you can see the location where orb of storms is actually cast to (nowhere near the cursor). The entire Titan Grotto area has the spell behaving this way, including straight areas with no corners involved. It makes using the spell effectively in combat basically impossible.
