Bombard Direction

So... Bombard is a bow skill morphed that sprays an area attack to a certain direction cone. Just like some other skills in-game.

However, it seems to be the only skill that shoots toward the direction of my avatar's BODY instead of his HEAD.

Take Flame Breath, for example. The skill that sprays fire in front of you. When I'm moving sideways (strafing), the flame will execute towards wherever my character is looking; ie. where my mouse is aiming.

In that same scenario, Bombard will execute to the SIDE... where my character's body is running towards.


Why?

Can't you guys make Bombard to be the same as the other skill? Wouldn't that make sense?

I lost count how many time I run towards a mob, avoid their attack by running to the side, look back at them and BAM! My flurries of arrow sprays toward the side instead of toward my enemy.

Maybe tonight I'll upload a video.

    On a sidenote note, bombard can't shoot against targets located on different elevations unless you switch to first person view, in which case the skill will actualy work fine.
