DesMephisto Earns Keystone Master Using a Console Controller

Things like World Quests became a more kick back experience, which felt amazing to my back! It really helped take some of the keyboard stress off of my hands, such as my thumb which had been having a lot of pain from constantly being on space bar without moving much.

In dungeons, I found swapping quickly to interrupt things to be sort of difficult. Pushing tab vs up on the D Pad isn't nearly as flexible, although there may be better setups for targeting that I haven't found yet, such as using R1 for that instead of my right mouse button. The Fury Warrior rotation fits so perfectly with controller, it feels like an ARPG rather than an MMO. Movement felt a tad difficult when I had to run out of bad, which led to relying on Heroic Leap a bit more often though, since there is some minor "keyboard" (controller) turning involved, which isn't as quick as when using a mouse.

I also found it super easy to stay on boss and move and DPS. When using WASD, I always felt a tad limited when trying to do my rotation while staying on boss and moving around it, and that was a total total nonissue with the controller. Bosses in general felt so much more fun and honestly easier in a lot of ways as well. I will say that PvP felt really bad against constantly moving ranged characters though, but it felt great when fighting against other melee.

It really is not that difficult. Practice, or larger frames, problem solved. I've healed 20s in BfA S4, healing 14s and up now with a controller. You do need to set things up first, and practice a bit, but after that, it's not anymore difficult than keyboard + mouse. But then, getting used to a new UI, or a new setup takes practice anyway.评论来自 DisturbdOne of our tanks has been doing this as long as i've known them.评论来自 LeechesxRemoved评论来自 Murzac> The major pitfall is less precise cursor control, making things like mouseover macros and raidframe healing a little bit more difficult

I must admit that addition of native support in Shadowlands is very good step.评论来自 Adrena1inRemoved评论来自 tinkspring
Yeah the thing that helps it a lot is the GCD and cast times. More often than not you know who you're going to heal next so you basically have 1.5s or however long the cast time in the current spell is to move your cursor over to the next player.

The only issue I'd see is with utility, as with eg. resto shaman you end up having bonkers amounts of keybinds, but like 90% of my healing is done via my mouse buttons and modifiers so it'd be fine.评论来自 GlepnirNo 1 M+ DK tank in the world plays on controller评论来自 ParnassI'll have to count the number of actions I have bound on my Mistweaver but I'm confident it's above 30 and I doubt I can realistically have everything mapped.
Druids have the "chance" to have some of their skills locked behind shape shifting which allows for binding several actions on the same button which massively increases controller support friendliness.

As a healer in higher key you need to both use your dps rotation and your healing on top of all your utility. That's a lot of keybinds and I don't see it working optimally on a controller. I'm a controller support advocate because some people cannot use a mouse and keyboard, but I don't think the game allows for optimal play with a controller support in every situation. As a dps/tank sure, why not. As a healer who doesn't idle when no heal is needed it's a no-no for me.评论来自 TigerusRemoved评论来自 facetiousgerbilI actually have a controller coming tomorrow because I find playing RDR2 incredibly awful on KBM. It's like Skyrim for me, and I can't play Skyrim on KBM!

I've considered trying WoW on a controller, and tbh, I play BDK, so not like I have a lot of buttons LOL. This is encouraging.评论来自 AlakeiThancanNot to undermine his achievement, but playing on a controler is actually pretty confortable when you're dps or a tank. Other than a few "target priorities" (like kicking a certain ability, which is easily done with a few @focus macros), it's more than manageable (not saying it's easy, it's definitely harder than with a mouse, but doable).

Now, doing this on a healer ....评论来自 buscavaAs long as you play an op class, it's easy. Hardest part about KSM is getting accepted into groups. I'm more impressed by myself for getting KSM as a warrior weeks ago before the dungeon nerfs.评论来自 vhrb1993I got 1400 at arena as fury warrior playing with the controller, it's a little difficult to learn but it's possible to play评论来自 tinkspringI'll have to count the number of actions I have bound on my Mistweaver but I'm confident it's above 30 and I doubt I can realistically have everything mapped.
