Healers Controllers or keyboards

[RainStrife]

Controller is much easier to use for me with Arcanist during fates. Just switch target and drop a dot. rinse and repeat

Funny...ive been comfortable with the keyboard and mouse for years over the controller....yet im one to admit it seems alot quicker on the controller
....not sure what ppl are missing here....unless you have just never tried it and are saying i prefer k/m over controller without trying the other?

I wish I could use the gamepad more but it bugs out on my PC too much so I just use the keyboard. Still though I can see healing on the controller being very smooth.

Just so anyone's aware, on a controller, all you need to do to target your party members is up and down on the D-Pad, there is no difficulty in targeting party members at all.

Target ting enemies is similarly easy, as all you need to do is press the A/X button, and it will instantly select the closest enemy target. Sometimes carby can get in the way, but all you need to do is move forward, or move to the left or right. I just like being able to kick my feet up and enjoy a dungeon instead of getting swass and hunch-back syndrome.

Not to mention if you set your targeting type to Enemies you can use Up/Down for party members and Left/Right for enemies. It's actually quite nice if you're doing multiple things.

I bought a razor Orbweaver, makes playing this game a lot better. I liked the controller, but I got frustrated with the targetting and opening menus, equiping gear, etc.. is too slow. Also having to have to press the triggers everytime when switching targets to cast skills was annoying.

I'm technically fine with either, but I prefer a gamepad.

Keyboard and mouse... wanted to try it on the PS3 controller during P4 but I couldn't get the game to download to the PS3

I didn't mind using the controller in 1.0 but, I'll be using the keyboard for the start of ARR.

Controller controls are too confusing for me. Heck, I'm still getting the hang of mouse and keyboard controls as far as efficient healing/DPSing is concerned.
