Healers Controllers or keyboards

[Capita]

I use controller for leveling and doing some easy dungeons.

But anything that needs attention goes to KB/M. The targetting is just far and away better.

Target an enemy without randomly aiming at someone's carbuncle? I got that. Scrolling through enemies? I got that. Scrolling through party list? I got that. Mouseover heal without losing my initial target? I got that. Click someone who's low HP and about to die, instead of having to cycle through a bunch of other people? I got that. Controller's just way too slow.

All of those things are possible with the controller if you configure the settings properly and are familiar with using it.

I used a controller most of Beta. When I set my "target only enemies" filter, it still kept targetting Carbuncles. Mouseover isn't possible. Directly targetting someone instead of cycling isn't possible. Best you could do is a target tank macro, unless you plan on macroing all 24 players in your raid.

But this isn't a KB/M vs gamepad argument. It's what works for you. Gamepad had a lot of shortcomings for me.
