Suggestion: More Gamepad Shoulder/Trigger button customization.

yeah i see what you are saying. hm. well i have played this game on console since launch. and i main a WHM since day1. so i am aware of how much must be done in order to Stoneskin an entire "Full Party". but i suppose having to press all them buttons is just something you get used to over time. and steadily become more efficient at. eventually you won't even notice you are fondling the controller. :P

also, i am not sure why you hit down so much. select your target after highlighting it, if you plan on continuing down the list to pass out a buff. also, the L2/R2 aren't actually buttons. and most people would use either their middle or index finger to press/squeeze those. so unless you use either of those fingers for d-pad/face buttons, i don't think those presses can actually be counted.

either way, i wasn't trying to knock your idea down. it would most certainly be very useful. but until they improve game-pad functionality... you'll just have to use a keyboard for the quickest possible targeting time. but don't hold your breath. :/

I'm getting the impression radioactive_lego is using either the Press (?) or Mixed option for activating hotbars, not the Hold option. So hotbars stay up after simply pressing R2/L2, until R2/L2 is pressed again to close the hotbar, rather than staying up only while R2/L2 is held in and disappearing when they're let go.

This option would be miles and miles more useful with that setting, I think. At least for me, using the Hold option, it doesn't break the flow that much to let go of the trigger, hit a button or two, then hold in the trigger again.

But if you're keeping the hotbars up on a single trigger press with the other setting, it must be maddening to have to turn them off, target/confirm/whatever, then turn them back on, etc.

Really, though, either way, I don't see the harm in adding this as an option.

I use mixed. I've tried hold as well, but that just leads to finger strain.

My ability to select non-enemies is not isolated either. Quick searches led me to:
