Am I handicapping myself by playing with a controller? Being able to sit comfortably is very appealing.

I was advised to switch to gamepad in lieu of my old standard of KB/M due to developing RSI in my wrists, and while it took a little getting used to, I'm not sure I could go back to playing the game on a keyboard anymore.

They've said they test all content with controllers to make sure. Though I do have concerns about how they'll tackle adding more skills in the future.

Would be nice and give potential to some of the abilities people find useless or less useful. Would be nice if they combined or just got rid of some abilities. A good example is the warrior's defiance/deliverance abilities. There's no reason that Inner Beast and Fell Cleave should be separate abilities when they essentially do the same thing. Just make it like astro stances, where it does 400 potency in deliverance, and gets a self heal and damage reduction in defiance. One way or another they're going to have to address ability bloat in the next expansion.

Controller rules once you set it up and it isn't a hindrance to running content. Give it a shot. Once you are comfortable with things and starting to get enough abilities that your base 16 slots are crowded or the layout is getting unwieldy, dig into the menus and enable the RT+LT and LT+RT hotbars to get you to 32 abilities without manually switching hotbars. That should get you into the 50s no problem.

The only problem I ever have on controller is that the second set of 16 skills are invisible until I call them up, so I tend to forget about them sometimes. I do my best to arrange all my main combo and oGCD stuff on the front 16 so I can see when they're up immediately. I stick my less used stuff in the back 16 (stances, less frequently used buffs, provoke and the like). That can get a little tricky on some classes but you just have to remember you have stuff you can't see.

There's really no reason certain combo abilities shouldn't just automatically turn the hotkey immediately in to the next skill in the combo, like Machinists shots. Same with most non-Monk second and third combo attacks.

Yeah, I'd like to see all of this happen too. I hope that SE does actually end up working on taking some of the bloat out of abilities because drat, it's really gotten to be a pain. Potato Jones posted:I find it useful to place a tiny hotbar with cooldowns/situation skills in the the general buff/enemy status section of my UI, not to actually use, but to know at a glance if something is ready without having to look at my crossbars. I do something similar to this. I place mine in the bottom right corner of the screen. As a Ninja, I check it all the time to see when exactly I'm free to use important but long recast abilities like Duality and Dream Within a Dream. Even more important would be Trick Attack, which I have first on that hotbar. There are just so many abilities to watch over. As much as I love the crossbar design, it does get unwieldy when you start getting more than 16 important abilities. Things get much more confusing. I also have the advanced crossbar under my command, so when I hold R2 and then press L2 (or vice-versa), it brings up a separate set of crossbars. I use it for the aforementioned important abilities that are on long cooldowns, or defensive cooldowns that do not always see the light of day. It's a lot less of a pain to do that than holding R1 and trying to remember where my other necessary ability is when I'm in a really bad pinch.

How quickly we forget the piles of required reading forum posts detailing every single thing you had to do for each COP mission.. There weren't videos because the content wasn't hard enough to require visual details.

Voice chat with people you don't know is the worst. Its importance in clearing high end content is also super overrated.

Opens things up that text simply doesn't. But requiring it is kinda lovely. Some people don't like to talk, some people have anxiety related to voice communication, some people don't have decent mics or headsets, some people are women who don't want to announce themselves as such because the internet is full of lovely people who will harass them for it, some people are transgender and don't like being forced to out themselves because of a video game, etc.
