But this only rly affect you, with skills that need to be casted very quick and very precise. Having to aim ground targetted skills, which is slightly harder than with MK.There's rly no real disadvantage for pure PvE and only veeeeeeeeeeeery minimal for PvP: If you'd face me in wvw roaming I'd definitly be one of the better players you'd fight against. I'm mainly playing Warrior (PvE, WvW - zerg and roaming), Revenant (WvW - zerg and roaming) and Guardian (Fractals - only T2, but working on it). This way you'll cast ground targetted skills directly on top of your target without having to aim at all. If you want to play a heavy ground targetted class, like condi necro with staff, there's an additional option to lock ground targetted skills on your target. If you've ever played a shooter with a gamepad you'll be able to aim that AoE's. Placing AoE skills in fight isn't rly hard with gamepad & activated action cam. But for quick fixing while running in a zerg, I use gamepad. It's faster and more comfortable to fix a big cluttered inventory and for longer crafting sessions at the crafting stations. And I sometimes use it to win at inventory wars. I also still have a mous near me, because I for sure need it to controll my PC while not in game. Yes, of course I still have a kb around for typing / chatting (but only because that chatpad AddOn for the controller doesn't work on PC for some reason! D: ) I can try send you my steam controller config and give you my GW2 settings in game. Maximum compression of content: No real disadvantages.
