Plus one to that. I play with a controller and the buffs/debuffs description is a bane of my existence. You are sort of supposed to hover over it with your virtual mouse which is a thing I basically never do, as mid fight it means I am going to eat all the aoes and bad stuff in the meantime, as I am out of reach of my regular controls. Maybe if I am under KO already and someone else got the same stuff. But usually I just rely on my pc friends reading them or contextual clues over the results vs visual of the icon.

I am a PC player using a keyboard and MMO mouse, so I don't know how it feels to use the controller. I do know a Savage Raider friend does use a controller plugged into his PC >.> You never caught him playing AST seriously before they changed the card system to how they are now. Supposedly the old cards were not designed with controllers in mind and you pretty much needed my setup to do it more quickly. My left hand is only having to press the movement directions, shift, control and shift + control. The mouse on my right thumb area is used to press the numbers in conjunction with the keyboard. I can comfortably press 1 - 6 with the mouse without it feeling like an over extension.
