Each time it gets stuck to go in one specific direction. Most often it is the direction of S+A (southwest), but sometimes I’ve had it stuck in a different direction. While stuck, trying to evade in any other direction does the animation in place, or if one of the keys held match the direction it is stuck to, the evade happen in the direction of the stuck. Example: stuck sw, holding either A or S will succesfuly dodge, but towards sw not in the direction of either A or S.
I have had one game session only where it did work evading towards the direction I’m currently holding WASD for.

Offtopic:
This has been since the PTR and it’s honestly incredible no dev caught this and fixed it because it is so so so obvious. Makes me feel there’s no QA in the pipeline and PTR period wasn’t really worth anything outside the obvious stuff. Makes me feel I better not play any build that’s not shared by the no-lifer streamers because most stuff simply don’t work as expected, as was already the case when I stopped in S2. This is what made me stop btw, D4 is so good is so many ways but the systems are the most important thing and they are not tested and not reliable to function as expected.

Noticed the same thing here, really starting to enjoy the WASD movement but using evade is so incredibly frustrating because it just doesn’t go the direction I intend. It’s actually astounding this made it past QA but I don’t want to point fingers, just want to see this bug fixed

Experiencing the same thing when using either the sorc teleport enchantment or the vampire bat evade aspect. Sometimes it evades in WASD direction, sometimes it goes to cursor. It’s seemingly random / inconsistent. Maybe happens more often when I have an enemy targeted? Regular evade also seems to work ok I think, just not these enhanced evades.

Nevermind it happens with regular dodge too, maybe the skill just needs to be in range of the target you have over the mouse to have mouse direction override the keyboard direction dodge.

Having the same Problems here and found a little fix for it.

The deactivated Option “Disable Mouse Movement” is causing the Problem here.

tried with a Basic attack on every char:

“Disable Mouse Movement” - deactivated
“Evade In Movement Direction” - activated

  • binded skill on any button and hold it down + hold down Movebutton after - Dodge in Movement direction will work as intended !! ( 1+A hold down - dodge)

  • Hold down Movebutton first + Binded skill (hold down) and the Dodge will always go in Mouse direction (A+1 hold down - dodge)

So atm, if you want to dodge in your movement direction better check the box and disable Mouse Movement.

For all those hit&run Basic-attackers that like to hold attack+Move like me as a Heartseeker player, thats not gonne work anymore :frowning:
