Healing/Tank on PS3 or PS4

[Fellisin]

No. It isn't. not in comparison to switching enemies. Think about what is involved to switch; I have at length.

Perhaps I have an affinity for not wasting time and cramping my hands with needless button presses.

Yes it is. It really really easy to select a target to heal with in a party. You use the D-pad (without holding in any of the shoulder buttons) and select up and down to select a target within your party list. No needless button pushes needed.

It's NOT hard to heal with a controller.

I main as a healer on a ps4. Only time I find it a pain to heal, is healing outside a party in pve. But that can be helped with the use of macro's and changing the targeting preferences when your weapon is drawn.
