Yes i do use it. Ihold R2 for my main builders too. L2 and dpad for mudras. Still not enough room for everything. Someone told me u can kb&m on ps4 so going to get those night. I used to game strictly pc so morre comfortable with that.

Expanded controls does allow you to slot all of your abilities, as I showed in the example image in my last post. You can fit every Rogue/Ninja ability, all Mudra, all cross-class and a potion on one Cross-Hotbar setup. You need a separate hotbar for basic menu functions like teleport, sprint, mounts, etc but you don't use those during combat so you don't really need those on your main hotbar.
But yes, you should be able to use Keyboard and Mouse in PS4 if thats more comfortable.

Yeah if by expanded controls you mean pressin R1 to switch pages , yeah everything can fit but definitely not on one page. Pressing R1 to page switch is just clunky. That split second it takes to switch can be life or death in end game content. Don't get me wrong though Square did an awesome job making the controller work for what would normally be a PC only MMO. Not knocking it.
Not to mention you cant move and hit Dpad bindings effectively anyways. Works for casual play and normal raids but im ready to take it up a notch
That is absolute bullshit sorry to say.Yeah if by expanded controls you mean pressin R1 to switch pages , yeah everything can fit but definitely not on one page.

For one you can use expanded controls to be able to hold L2+R2 and R2+L2 to go to another hotbar without having to do that AND you can get used to switching hotbars with R1+face or directional buttons.
I main SCH on controller and have to use 3 cross hotbars for all of my skills and I have no trouble with it with no delay caused by hotbar switching. You just have to get used to it. If you aren\\'t willing to get used to some change in how you do it then maybe KB&M would be a better fit for you
Also: since i hit the stupid limit and am on mobile so no editing.
Controller and KB&M are equal. Just because you dont know how to properly use the controller in this game and arent willing to listen doesnt mean it is useless for hardcore endgame content
First off
Stop assuming your rotation is perfect
Especially so if you're this new to the game
Accept you are most likely making mistakes, and work to improve.
Take criticism, pay attention, read/watch guides
Maybe get someone in game to walk you through it
Get on voice chat and have them give you detailed rundowns, have them watch you in a fight or on a dummy
Record yourself, upload it, have people critique your play
Don't assume your absolutely awesome (not saying you are doing this) but accept that you are new and it will take time to learn. Practice practice practice.
first, that isnt what expanded cross bar is. it lets you see a second cross bar, so another 16 total things. second, moving and using the dpad is surprisingly easy. you have two thumbs, use them.
You aren't reading what I suggested. Expanded controls allow extra slots to be used by holding either R2+L2 together or L2+R2 together. You may have to enable expanded hotbar under the settings menu.Yeah if by expanded controls you mean pressin R1 to switch pages , yeah everything can fit but definitely not on one page.

Again, I illustrated this in the image I posted of my own hotbar setup.

I dont care where you have yoour buttons I went in game and pressed L2+R2 and nothing happened. If you wanted to be helpful you would've told me that expanded controls are an extra option and where to locate it.You aren't reading what I suggested.
