Fix the aiming of abilities like refreshing path

since update 6 there are new ways to get your ultimate were you want it and to aim certain abilities.
While weapons and spells are aimed via mouse, for some reason the ability refreshing path (this is a morph but it goes for the whole skill) can;t be aimed with the mouse. it will aimed to from the front of you're char, meaning that steering it is very hard. I find it very frustrating, especially because it's hard to put you're character to the right side, putting them in a straight line.

Am I the only one having issues with this, and is this the only ability that has this weird mechanism.

Please make it so you can aim it, instead of rezzing from the character so to say.

    Cleave in the two-handed line is also effected. It doesn't go where the recticle (you know, the handy device used for aiming) is pointed, it goes where the character is pointed. I find I can only use it if I retreat a little so the mobs bunch up in front of me. Walking backwards still works because the character retreats away from the recticle.

    It's a real pain in the rear. It seems to effect conal AOEs

    I was complaining about this a week ago but got almost no traction.

    This is happening with a bunch of skills. Seems to be the directional AoEs, but I'm not 100% sure it's only those. I know for sure that Arrow Spray (and its morphs), and Blessing of Protection (and its morphs) are having the same problem. The skill is cast whichever direction the character is facing, as opposed to pre-patch when the character would turn to face direction of the camera and then fire the skill.

    I thought maybe this change was just a bug. If it was intentional, it's a terrible change. Especially in dungeons and PvP, I'm constantly looking around with the camera to check for enemies and make sure my position is good. Having to re-face my character before I fire a skill causes huge issues. Please please please, if this was intentional, put it back the way it was. If it is a bug, please fix asap.
