Suggestion: More Gamepad Shoulder/Trigger button customization.

[BLaCKnBLu3B3RRY]

have you tried using custom filter sets? they don't work on the L1/R1 button, but instead with the d-pad. they are still quite useful, though. i especially like how they made it show the face button for the currently selected filter. no more forgetting which set is active.

You. Must. Be. Kidding.

The D-pad method of selecting entities is a well-thought out method of being extremely cumbersome, because of the number of button presses required to seemingly simple tasks. For example:

In a party of 8' if you are the healer, (default #1) the tank is default 2 and 3, and so on; prior to any big fight covering everyone in stoneskin is common for WHMs. To do this (let's count the number of button presses) you must:

Activate the cross hotbar (ACHB) 1
Cast spell (C) on current target 2
Deactivate the crosshotbar (DCHB) 3
press down (dn) 4
ACHB 5
C 6
DCHB 7
dn 8
dn 9 (additional down presses, or hitting the select button are required as you go thru the party
ACHB 10
C 11
DHCB 12
dn 13
dn 14
dn 15
ACHB 16
...

That's 16 button presses, so far, and the 4th dude in our 8 man party still doesn't have stoneskin.

TBC, next thread.

With the suggestion, party select only on one shoulder button removes the need to ACHB/DCHB, which was 6 needless uses of those 16 button presses. further, since shoulder buttons hard target every time, there is no need for additional cycling thru (extra dn or select button presses for) party members.

TL;DR- Without suggestion (currently) non-enemy selection takes 2x+ as many button presses than with suggestion.
