Controller & Hotbar possible? Cross-Hotbar, No Thanks. :(

[FemDarcy]

If you are in a PC it shouldn't be very hard. You could use a software that changes your buttons into keyboard actions like Xpadder. So you still have the movement and then you assign to the other buttons the keys you want to trigger your actions, just remember to have the hotbar clean of actions so it doesn't execute the keystroke and the action of the hotbar =)

I personally love how the game-pad works and, even the number of actions is more limited than in a keyboard, I think it's faster and way more comfortable.

@ShadowVulcan: More useful than going back is to hold one (don't remember which one and then press the cross or buttons to jump directly to the hotcross you want)
