Since the Lord of Hatred expansion, the “Combine Interact and Basic Skill” option behaves differently on controller.
Previously, if I held both a spender and a generator (which still works this way on mouse and keyboard), the game would automatically use the generator whenever I was out of resource, then instantly continue using the spender once enough resource was available again. This made builder/spender gameplay feel very smooth.
Now, the game casts the spender once, then goes back to only casting the generator even when there is enough resource available again.
Update:
After more testing, I found that this only happens if the combined Interact + Basic Skill button is bound to A on controller. If I bind the combined button to a different controller button, the issue disappears completely.
Tested with multiple controllers, both wireless (2.4 GHz + Bluetooth) and wired:
-
Microsoft Xbox Series X/S Wireless Controller
-
8BitDo Pro 3
-
8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless
