Bard Movement Question

[Cynthis]

I sympathize Victros. Playing with controller I was struggling on especially titan because the combination of animation lock and tiny amounts of lag caused landslide to kick me off even though on my screen I was miles out of the AoE so I decided to try bard to avoid the animation lock. The problem I quickly found was that when you are constantly moving and using your left thumb on the analog stick it essentially takes away half your hotbar since pressing a directional key is at best awkward if you can't use your thumb. A big part of the reason I started playing this game was because it supports controller fully but I am starting to realize that unless you extraordinary skills with controller and great finger dexterity it really doesn't work well in battle.

when you are constantly moving and using your left thumb on the analog stick it essentially takes away half your hotbar since pressing a directional key is at best awkward if you can't use your thumb.

And if you want to be able to both move and see where you're going, you need both thumbs on the analog sticks. (I know I for one can only control my movement direction by controlling the camera direction.) But it's just that brief moment of tapping a button that you need to pause your movement, which is far different than classes that have to remain in position while the skill goes off. For ARC/BRD, once you hit the button for the skill you want, you can go back to moving while the skill fires. (That's assuming there's an AoE coming, so you actually have a reason to move. You wouldn't be "constantly moving" in any case.)
