Path of Exile 2 Controller Reigns Supreme

[@Jaguar-s7f]

I agree. One other thing about the controller is you can also strafe with the right stick.

[@cyberyakeradventures]

@@Jaguar-s7f I think they could have implemented wasd better.

[@jeffwhittall371]

I’m the exact opposite. I was looking forward to playing on controller but after one mini boss fight I switched to wasd and Switch’m much happier.

[@cyberyakeradventures]

@@jeffwhittall371 I guess I am just used to using a controller and anything different just feels wrong.

[@NikopolAU]

4:17 Change your left mouse button action to "always move". Attack with right mouse button. Problem solved.

[@cyberyakeradventures]

@@NikopolAU thank you for that. I will have to try that.

[@Kai_7901]

Been playing POE that way for years. Everything else feels wrong.

[@cyberyakeradventures]

@Kai_7901 if that is what you are used to that makes sense. For sure.

[@TUTruth]

Try a Tartarus and use it's D-Pad as WASD, imo it's the best of both worlds, puts controller and k/m together. IMO too many people haven't even tried it or even looked that way.

[@cyberyakeradventures]

one of my recent videos talks about this.. thank you..

[@Corfield81]

I had no issues with WASD at all found it really easy , but I might try controller at some point. In WASD I can walk backwards while still shooting my projectiles at monsters, with other movement tyles I have to move then turn around fire move again?... interesting

[@cyberyakeradventures]

@@Corfield81 you can move back with a controller and fire forward also. Love the range of movement with the controller.

[@Corfield81]

@@cyberyakeradventures after a test with controller, I can't get used to it after so much time with WASD. I prefer the aiming with my mouse and keyboard for all my keys for things, like on controller I need to take my thumb off the right stick to press Square, triangle , Circle or X which makes it difficult, where with WASD I just use my mouse to hover over the monster while I move around and throw spells at it...each to their own :D

[@cyberyakeradventures]

@Corfield81 absolutely thank goodness for options.

[@roberts7873]

I'm on PS5 as a mercenary. Ice Shards skill doesn't shoot the ground in front of enemies, instead it targets them. It's annoying

[@cyberyakeradventures]

@@roberts7873 I tried Merc for about 15m and didn't like the gameplay. I really want to play shadow when it drops.

[@bmdshred77]

I’m using controller cuz these games ruined my wrist. How do you change weapons tho? Weapon swap?

[@cyberyakeradventures]

@@bmdshred77 I haven't gotten much play time due to training for my new position at work. Crazy hours right now. I believe that comes up later in the game than where I made it to though.

[@PurifyWithLight]

Its on the d-pad. Down I think.

[@chriscole8945]

There’s one problem with a controller if you go into the trials you can’t press A on the death crystal if mobs are near by

[@cyberyakeradventures]

@@chriscole8945 I haven't got there yet. Thank you for that.

[@Jaguar-s7f]

@@chriscole8945 that's only if you assign an action to the A button. If you leave that slot empty, you can interact with objects even with enemies around.

[@protoshell]

Why is my character limited in mobility with wasd? I move my character with the keyboard and move the torso with the mouse. It works the same way with a controller. One stick moves the character, the other one turns the torso. They work exactly the same. I argue you're even more mobile with kb+m due to the far faster repositioning of the direction in which you deal damage. + You don't need to turn your character, because 1) you don't lose any mobility or speed while "strafing" and 2) you can hit in any direction regardless of the direction of movement. + with controller you lose the ability to precisely target an enemy on the screen, because you can only chose the direction in which you deal damage, but not the exact location on the screen.

[@cyberyakeradventures]

@@protoshell I have played other games that use wasd and it is different. Way different. It will take me time getting us d to it.

[@hiiiii895]

Yes WASD is indeed done wrong. A game like Warhammer 40K Inquisitor does it right. A and d spin / rotate the character. I'm using Controller.

[@cyberyakeradventures]

thats what I think too...
