I've been playing a Knight, and I have an issue with mouse move which seems like a bug. Basically, when I move the mouse over an enemy with the button down, it switches from movement to attack. Now, this would seem reasonable if I was using a ranged weapon, but when the enemy is at 10x the range of my sword it's kind of futile. It also means that to get close enough to an enemy to have an effective attack, I have to click anywhere *except* on the target. This is not at all a natural interface.

It would be useful, if only in mouse move, if a "click" on an enemy was interpreted as movement towards the enemy rather than an attack unless the enemy was in range.

It would also be really, really nice if such a move into attack range could automatically convert into an attack with some kind of "charge" damage bonus. Melee characters could really use a little boost at lower levels, and that strikes me as a cheap little bonus.
