PS. Play Grim Dawn! Amazing ARPG with really good classes and customisations.

If you'd prefer something older and simpler, the same devs made Titan Quest.

I abhor all mouse-based games that require you to stop moving to attack. There's just something about that mechanic that I will never enjoy no matter what. I've tried Diablo, Titan Quest, etc. multiple times and have always come to the same conclusion: you can't (easily) dodge enemy attacks while also attacking yourself, which is irritating to no end. (I wonder if that's why I love the independent attacking behavior of units in Total Annihilation...)

Anyway, glad you've found it to be fun. I'm still on the hunt for any similar ARPG that's more twin-stick in nature, though.

FWIW the latest Grim Dawn patch has implemented a dash action you can use to avoid AoEs or get into the thick of things

Not quite the same thing as what you're referring to, but a step up from the brain off "click to attack until target is dead" of other ARPGs

A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
