Playing an MMO with a controller

[raela]

Not to mention I love having tons of shortcuts and rows of toolbars so I can do a dozen different things without opening a menu. One toolbar for instant job changes, one toolbar for professions, one toolbar for mounts/pet/potions/companion skills, etc. I think the controller crossbar barely has enough room for combat skills.

I have shared crossbars for job changes, mounts, misc skills, etc. Only #2-4 are unique per class (as it's only really convenient for me to use one + expanded in combat, then have a switching macro on scholar to use a third). You can easily swap out crossbars with R1+button.. DoL/DoH is R1+down for me, DoW/DoM is R1+left, and my standard out of combat stuff is R1+triangle. I just built muscle memory to easily swap to what I want without thinking much about it.
