But in larger scale pvp (and I include even 8x8x8, that’s a potential 16 enemies! If you are switching to controller, all those need to be relearned - and it’ll take extra time if it’s your first time! : macro targeting using /target is a hard target. Also note that the acronym for Cross Hot Bar is not CHB, it’s XHB (because an X looks like a cross). If youâre not, youâll be slow. PS4 users or PC users using a native xbox 360 or xbox one controller, or other controllers with excellent drivers, will have no such troubles so it makes sense to start where they can. Since WXHB and Simultaneous Triggers are using assigned crossbars, you need to switch into them first (using to either cycle into them or use Face buttons to select it). This isnât to say I donât use hotbars – I do. Of course, realistically ,if itâs every once in a while, itâs not a huge deal. You want to give yourself enough time that you can double tap comfortably, but not so much that you’ll accidentally “double tap” when switching triggers. Move around while map is open (this will unfocus the map from being able to use Camera Analog or D-pad), Re-focus on map (to be able to re-use Camera Analog), This one will actually differ based on your Display mode (covered in Character Configuration section), (Hud button to cycle through HUD elements). Monk Macros. So I switched. - but try to keep it to an absolute minimum in high-end content. In this guide, I will try my best to write button directions in both PS4 and ABXY (Xbox) format – the 2 options available in the game. Oh this one is really easy, as seen in the, Buy a Wireless adapter for the controller you’re using (if it needs one), Press the sync button on the adapter (if one was needed), Wait for it to sync - You need to be Player 1, Check that gamepad is on in system settings, This section is still in progress, but the video version already exists right, Let me explain. Now, there ARE ways around it. Unfortunately you cannot reassign that button to another action, but if you’re afraid of accidentally auto-running this would be the place to turn that off. That being said, having to move your hand to move the mouse or reach an F key in itself takes time, so it’s only as fast as you are. Suddenly all those presses matter a lot more. Th3rdRaven: Character Config -> Control Settings - Chat Mode Settings, disabling the "Enable direct chat." Etc.. So while in an alliance raid healing cross-party something that’s only done when things go wrong, in pvp going cross-party is pretty normal depending on how the party compositions/locations end up. Having to use the d-pad every once in a while for targeting a dps is hardly a hindrance - and if your DPS is messing up that much that they need frequent single target heals instead of AOE heals, you probably have more to worry about than your targeting. You’ll definitely lose at least 1 GCD, but you just deal with it. If you’re curious I have a, You can switch from one cross bar to the next by using Right Bumper, There is also the option to have a half cross bar when using both triggers together .

Moving while using Ctrl is also uncomfortable. Enter Gpose by using the chat to type in /gpose or map to your crossbar via a macro. Your button movements are as good as your ability to move fingers. A “soft” target is on you’ve temporarily chosen. I actually kind of covered this in the targeting section so..Iâll just copy paste and rewrite it in case you skipped that section: 4-man parties are definitely not difficult to target. While, once again, this is a cycle, so you can move from the 1st alliance to the last (3rd) alliance, and vice versa, somewhat quickly, it can be a lot to cycle though. With Cursor, as long as you leave your cursor an expected spot, letâs say upper center, (whether itâs a physical or virtual mouse), that means that âin front of meâ is where your aoe is, so itâs very natural to have to use camera manipulation to handle that. Large scale PVP is the one place where controller players are definitely at a disadvantage. In Gamepad mode, the system menu is no longer on the screen as a HUD component, but becomes available as a gigantic menu when pressed. Please note this doesnât affect WXHB, double triggers, or using cross bar select ( + face button). For example, the tank “invuln” abilities are all in the same spot regardless of tank. Drag and drop, or click to assign any of the 33 actions to hotbar slots and save to a shareable URL. (Though if you have the touchpad, you can use the virtual mouse and tapping to do that, but as I do not have that feature I cannot comment on how well it works, but Iâd imagine that during battle itâs probably inconvenient to use it for Targeting purposes. Don’t forget that if you are unable to buy another controller where the “triggers” are essentially “bumpers”, you can always choose to remap your bumpers and triggers to switch their purposes, if you do find using triggers to be tiring in long play sessions. If you’re not, you’ll be slow. Switching to Controller doesnât mean giving up Mouse and Keyboard for everything. If you are in mouse mode and you like the idea of the system menu only showing up when you press the Menu button, you can do so by going to UI Settings and having Display Main Menu turned off.
