Mouse/Keyboard vs. Controller: Your Thoughts

[Alastor]

Even if your shooting for the moon it's irrelevant, recast timers people, unless you've all found out how to turn them off so you can use everything freely, please do tell how. You can mash cure w/ a mouse, kbd key, or buttons on a controller. It does not cooldown any faster cause you press 1/1000th of a second faster than the next guy.

Maybe I've been playing wrong though, I know that's some peoples mind set, but I though really really though I had to wait for the recasts, I just can't find in the config where you turn them off, please help me out.

That's the point some pro-controller people are trying to make. Though, in favor of the k/m users, they would have a split second head-start, which does give them a slight advantage in tempo (their abilities will be available that split-second sooner).

I still do stand by my change to the controller. I'm not sure why people are trying to legitimately discount one way of playing over another. It's all about preference. I simply prefer the controller.

Yep, and none seem to want to be realistic about the difference in DPS/heals/what ever else, even at 1/2 second fast on the first one which isn't realistic anyway your not going to out DPS me by any significant amount.

So for everyone else:
Besides why would I go into battle with my action bar set anywhere other than the first action I plan to use, so for me it's just a matter of hitting "X" once I'm in range, while I run in and shift the camera to an optimal position, unless you mapped the 1~0 keys to secondary slots (like I did on my G-13) that requires stopping or not moving the camera to lift a hand and press the key you want, you can make the argument that the unnatraul stretch to press "key" while also holding "W+A & I+L" isn't a problem, or that having to move your hands around on a kbd is slower than my thumbs pressing things that are far closer together than the 1 and 0 keys so even w/ the "extra" button presses I'm faster, I win lol.

You may get (I'm giving this to those that "need" to feel superior because they choose to use kbd/mouse) 2~3 xtra light shots(only thing this counts for) over a 5 min. fight, at most 200 dmg/300 secs. < 1 DPS fuck at 10 more light shots than me(this will only happen if I drop my controller, 2 will only happen if I start typing mid fight) your getting 2000dmg/300secs < 7DPS
If <10 DPS is making that much of a difference, and again this is a wildly inflated value that would likely NEVER happen, perhaps it's time to rethink your position on elitism and just not talk to those of us that are part of the "inferior" "untrainable" majority of players.
