Sup fam. Been playing the game for decades, but recently need to switch to controller for a moderate period of time.
What does the community vote for a smooth playstyle while using a controller? I will be on PC, but don’t think that matters much. I’m not really biased towards any class, I like to switch it up often.
Maybe another angle would be to ask; how does a fireballer feel on controller?
Thanks in advance!
There are both pluses and negatives. The biggest positive is free autoaim, ranged attacks and spells will usually feel great in that measure. The biggest negative is absolutely no way to precisely use movement based spells (charge/teleport/leap) and teleport alone can be very frustrating to use. Also muling and moving a whole bunch of items to specific slots sucks on controller.
I’ve mainly switched over to controller on PC and I play usually on my switch anyways. Hard to say which is best enjoyed on controller, my bowazon perhaps?
Oh wow, I hadn’t really even thought about teleporting… I can see how bowazon might feel great on a controller. Thank you for sharing!
Thorns Summon Duruid
I’m listening… Do you mean using an act 2 thorns mercenary, or edge bow self wield? Very curious about this. Please tell me more!
I mean you put your skills into the summons wolfs and grizzly because the druid can have them all summoned now. Then you use Spirit of the Barbs, and the Edge bow yes you self wield and use your pets as meat shields and they will do good damage and also good damage reflected back due to Spirit of Barbs and Edge. You could use Bramble too but it is more a budget yet effective build that you can play with controller easy because it is safe and you don’t even have to attack or do anything but move around and resummon if one of your pets dies somehow
Works well with a lot of builds imo. I really like the controller with fishymancer, ww barb, hammerdin, summon druid
Edit: I do still use keyboard/mouse for inventory management though
Charge/ zeal pally
Hammerdin
FOH pally
Ww barb
Any build where posistioning with teleport isnt important.
What i don’t understand is the controller in a very simplified explanation emulates mouse movements and clicks i guess? Because when firing multishot/teeth it fires as if your mouse cursor is close to you but teleport is always a fixed distance, why didn’t they use the same “mouse movement” for multishot as teleport so you can prefire more easily? Now if you shoot with no monster to aim at 2 arrows goes straight and the rest have max spread…
Frenzy barb, but summoner was easy as well.
