I don't mind the controller to much but when you play an archer running and pressing L2 + up isn't very efficient. Also if prefer being able to access, multiple hotbars at the same time. At 50 you can't fit all your moves on 2 bars and using R1 to switch slows you down if you have more then 2.

You can try putting all your offensive skills on the shape button side (tri, sqr, cir, x) and all your buff /heal/ items on the dpad side. I found that this works well for me. Also pressing R1 to switch hotbars during battle doesn't slow me down because there is a 2.5sec global cooldown... giving you time to switch crossbars.

I also have my crossbars setup custom where only my BATTLE skills show during combat. all my other skills show up when I'm not in combat. This is easily setup in the options. Not many people experimented with it like I have. I posted a video tutorial up on this forum, but here it is if you haven't seen the thread.

Just switch crossbar to hold or mixed mode - then you just tap L2 (or R2) once to bring up / activate the relevant part of crossbar and after that just keep hitting one of the 8 action buttons only - much better IMO.
