Healing with Controller Vs. Mouse/Keyboard

[Maku]

Keyboard would present the same main issue I have with controller and that is moving the camera to place AoE Field Spells like Soil and Shadow Flare, so just using keyboard isn't an option for me.

There are a lot of opinions here now. I also heal just fine with a controller so who ever says I won't do as good as a mouse user is simply silly wrong. The only reason I asked and wanted mainly feedback from controller players or mouse players who have done both is to see just how much easier it was or maybe less annoying with Field Placements. Wednesday is aside from weekends my best day to play for an extended period of time so I will be setting up my keyboard/mouse hotbars tonight and seeing what I can do. ^^

Another suggestion,this is just for learning:

But re-roll a new character (healer) and set yourself up from the get-go as a KB+M player on that character. That way, you get the tutorial and only a handful of skills you have to use. Nerf around on that character until you feel comfy (you can always delete it later). Then, switch to your 'main'.
