I decided to use a PS4 controller for PC, DS4Windows, and would like some input on skill placement, the default setting is very ugly at least to me. I figured most of it out, but would like some feedback. First off, Azurah works very well with Gamepad mode so I can have all my resource bars in the center of the screen, always showing, with target health bar front and center rather than above my head, and my inventory bag watcher on the left; though it doesn't show percentage or bag number in this view just the slide bar.
I moved a lot of stuff around as I found some of the default settings cumbersome to use like Synergy and Ultimate being simultaneous buttons of other actions made accidental castings way too common for my liking.
Left Shoulder - Sprint
Right Shoulder - Roll Dodge
Share Button - Mount/Dismount
Left Shoulder + Square/X - Ability 4
Left Shoulder + Circle/B - Ability 5
Left Shoulder + Triangle/Y - Ultimate
Left Shoulder + Cross/A - Synergy
Directional Key LEFT - Quickslot
Directional Key RIGHT - Weapon Swap
Can't use the PS button, that launches the Steam app for some reason, I'm not even playing this game over Steam which makes it even weirder.
I generally use Ability 4 and 5 for temporary buffs like Rally, Critical Surge, Channeled Focus, and burst heals like Twilight Matriarch, Breath of Life, or Repentance. This way they're not abilities I would spam very often, leaving the primary attack keys intact. At first it seemed weird to tie-in all the bonus actions with the Sprint key, but as I played through it made for easier controls as you don't actually sprint until you move, most if not all spells cast without any problems. Heals sometimes don't go off if its paired with a free-target ability, so I put them on the same side as my target-required abilities on the main button which fixed the issue.
