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.

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.

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
