WoW is too hard and complex of a game to be played on a controller, OP.

23

I’ve used controller’s for pvp and mythics. I grew up with console’s and using the keyboard is just foreign to me. Also, it hurts my hands. Console port imo is solid. It allows me to play melee character’s without having to glance down at my hands because I just know my way around a controller more so.

I enjoy playing with a controller for leveling / casual content, but there are somethings that are still more frustrating with it, like collection quests.

But it’s objectively bad for higher end content, and I’m unwilling to take the effort to turn addons on and off depending on what I’m doing, so I haven’t bothered to grab all the junk needed to effectively play WoW on a controller with my latest WoW install.

It rises again!

I play a necromancer on my WII and use a controller

27

It’s a no from me healing would be a nightmare

28

It would work well enough now that we’ve all basically been reduced to 4 buttons or less.

Consoleport is amazing I recently discovered it just got the series 2 elite Xbox controller and I’m really trying to get it all set good, I’m so excited about it
but after searching for hours I’m exhausted over this 1 problem. I’ve got bartender btw, and right now have all my empty action bars showing does anyone know a way to edit the action bars/spaces bc they’re all randomly binded by default and I’m missing the bind “RT-A” for some reason 
 no matter how many times I reinstalled the addon or reset every keybind to default including the addon. If I try setting the bind to empty unbound space it messes it up. Love that I have no problem adding every other ability atleast. Solution much appreciated please help. I don’t know what is going on and that rta was working before - altho I’m not sure if everything else was like it is now other than the rta
 + the action bars are pretty messed up like I’ve got duplicate binds on them and idk why it’d be that way with default 
 it’d be nice if everyrhing worked and could have everything in neat order not scattered. Any ideas anyone other than trying to swap out the duplicate binds :roll_eyes:

Not real sure what the deal is with that bind. I’ve been unable to place things in it as well.
The support on their discord would likely be the place to ask as even the guy programming it answers stuff.
I figured out I could also use it to make listing auctions less tedious and was asking a question there before I figured out an alternate solution.

31

There’s some people that do it, I’d caught a video with a guy healing a raid using it.
I was wondering how and found videos that explained the two main ways to target your group for healing. Made a big difference in just being able to heal others in group, my niece and I had been using it to quest.

32

I doubt this is better if you’re the type of person who alt tabs a lot and does 14 different things at once. I can’t imagine being ok with: pick up controller and do wow fight stuff, put down controller and alt tab over to check facebook, lulz and like cat pics, pick controller back up and do some more wow stuff, dumb song started playing on youtube, put down controller and alt tab and change the song, pick up controller again to start fighting,

Not ideal though also why is this thread necrod

My ex boyfriend used Consoleport and a PS4 controller. He was brand new to the game, used his free boost for a rogue, then paid to boost his Demon Hunter. Within three months he was in a mythic raiding guild during Antorus, and his guild mates had no idea.

To some, controllers are where their muscle memory is strongest, and they’ll do amazing things with it.

35

This is why LFR is awful I’m assuming, lol.

If it’s not a reply, you can bet it’s probably google.

It’s pretty interesting to watch.

Using the raid cursor

In this one the guy explains the other method “Target unit frames (hold)”
About the 3:45 mark he goes in t dungeon and heals.

I’d think the Target unit frames (hold) option would work better with a large raid. Quicker targetting.

Huh
/10cha

No offense buddy but the character you are posting on has cleared 0 difficult content. For doing world quests or dying in BGs like most players, I’m sure its fine. But there’s no way you’re reacting anywhere close to as fast as is needed for actual PvP, M+, etc

Wait the controller thing was true?!?
