Wrong, I can solo heal titan hardmode as SCH while 5 manning it. Gamepad is just as effective as a kb/mouse, I healed WOW hardmodes on a kb/mouse and I feel like gamepad on this game is just as fluid, responsive, and easy to use as a kb/mouse.

Gamepad simply takes more practice and getting used to, but once you get used to it it's just as good as kb/mouse in this game. This games gamepad UI and controls are FANTASTIC and not worse in any situation than kb/mouse once you learn all the tricks and how to fully utilize. Many people try to play with a gamepad, don't know all the hotkeys/tricks/macros you can do with it, and instantly dismiss it from being viable from their very limited experience with it. They have tons more experience with kb/mouse and know all it's tricks and shortcuts and automatically assume it's better because they aren't good with a gamepad like they are kb/mouse.
