I play on controller for 90% of my interactions.
- with L1, R1 shoulder buttons, I'm able to map ALT (L1), SHIFT (R1), ALT+SHIFT(L1+R1) for directional buttons UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, A, B, X, Y giving me a combined total of 32 buttons.
- With Right Shoulder, I'm able to map CTRL, and gain an additional 32 hotkey buttons by combining it with L/R (Alt/Shift)
- I leave Left Shoulder free for targeting commands (L2+Down for nearest, Up for mob targeting me, L/R for selection, and so on).
- L3 (analog click) and R3 (analog click) buttons do other things, such as activate mouse click under my crosshair, or in combination with CTRL/ALT/SHIFT do more, like mount+dismount.
It's very easy... my main struggle is with targeting which FFXIV has gotten down pat. ConsolePort addon solves this in part, but isn't perfect. Blizzard has to work this out, then it will be fine.
In fact, it is superior to a keyboard/mouse combination because I can have 64 commands on hotkey, plus movement + look separate from that and Left/Right mouse clicks.
How many buttons can you press on the keyboard without lifting your fingers away from WASD or movement keys?
- SSLy 4y ago> Blizzard has to work this out Action targeting is the harbinger of that. On some melee classes you don't have to target anymore if you're using CC's.
- deafpolygon 4y agoJust checked it out -- definitely a step in the right direction.
