Makes Disengage (and Vengeful Retreat) launch your character forward by temporarily rotating the camera. Ideal for smooth momentum-based movement.

Description

Hunter Engage

Hunter Engage modifies how your character uses Disengage (Hunter) or Vengeful Retreat (Demon Hunter), temporarily rotating the camera to launch you forward instead of backward.

🚀 Features

  • Automatically rotates the camera to a custom View 2 before using your escape spell.
  • Restores your original camera angle after the jump.
  • Fully configurable delay to fine-tune camera reset timing.
  • Works with both:
    • Hunters (Spell: Disengage, ID: 781)
    • Demon Hunters (Spell: Vengeful Retreat, ID: 198793)
  • Per-character keybind configuration.
  • Lightweight, zero overhead when unused.

⚙️ How to Use

  1. Set a Keybind
    Open the in-game Options > AddOns > Hunter Engage, then click "Set Keybind" and press your desired key (e.g. ALT+1).

  2. Configure View 2
    The addon uses World of Warcraft's View 2 system to control camera rotation.
    You can set this up in two ways from the options panel:

    • Manual Setup: Move the camera to your preferred backward-facing angle and click "Save Current View as View 2".
    • Auto Setup: Click "Auto-Rotate 180° and Save as View 2" to automatically spin the camera and save the result.
  3. Test It!
    Press your configured keybind to perform a forward jump using your escape spell.

⚠️ Known Limitations

  • The addon cannot correctly restore the camera if you are holding both mouse buttons (left + right) while engaging.
    This is a technical limitation in how camera views and mouselook work in secure contexts and cannot be bypassed.
  • Make sure your cameraViewBlendStyle is set to 2 (this addon sets it automatically).
