Getting the most out of your Pad. (A guide for the controller capable among us.)

Quick note. Macros for actions do not work with the 'Focus' approach. E.g. if you X to focus on one mob, then switch manually to another and attempt a macro attack, it will work on the first ability, then fail on the rest.


Personally I like using R1/L1 as my target cyclers for enemies. It allows you to keep your thumb on the left stick and stay moving when necessary. My biggest grip is that when RB/LB is engaged in battle, the cycling of L1/R1 buttons is seemingly random regardless of any factors. Additionally if moving, hitting L1 will cause you to go into auto run.
If they could sort that out, and effectively treat R1/L1 as the same as Dpad left and Dpad right, then I'd be set.

Despite how awesome the gamepad use is in this game, plus all the customization, there's a sense of it being convoluted and several functions being done by different buttons making it messy.
