At the moment she's a dancer main I don't know I guess any extra advice or any foreseeable future problems we might have with this would be appreciative knowledge as this is something I've never considered.
As someone who has played this game for over 6 years with a controller. (first PS, then Xbox), it is perfectly doable and easy to do any of the content in the game once you get used to it. I have even done Savage MINE level raids AS a healer and had no issues with targeting and such.

Others on here have already said how to set things up so I won't go into that. But yes, it IS slower than K/M. The sooner you deal with it, adjust to it, and accept that it is what it is, you will be content.

As for playing dancer, it is VERY easy with a controller. Hell, you can fit nearly everything you need on one hotbar. In fact, those twin sticks make it super easy to move an agile job like that around the arena effortlessly and adjust to things quickly. The only skill I don't have on the first hotbar is the one when you stand in place and heal, but it is just a shoulder button combo away.
