    Yes, turn slower. I personally use a mouse to move. So, I would quickly turn and then hit my spell, which turned me back with the auto-facing. Now, if I was on a controller, I would just strife left or right. There are times you still need to turn, like when you have to face away from the purple eye. With a mouse, you can do that much quicker and therefore have a little bit more time to let the spell finish.

    But at this point, we are talking about a fraction of a second and is you have to be pinching for what would be about 2 to 3 extra second of activity out of the whole fight, then there are other problems than hardware.

    I can turn away as easily as pushing down on the move stick. I use controller on the PC cause it's comfy, I can lie back and play without even having to have my hands up in the classic PC gamer pose. just.. saying. The controller functionally has little to no functional difference over K/M.

    If you use legacy controls on controller, you can turn your character basically instantly by moving the joystick opposite from the enemy. I often ride gaze castbars to 90% then quickly turn in the last possible moment on controller; there's no advantage/disadvantage when it comes to turning your character on controller vs KB/M since both have methods to instantly turn.
