'After leveling my barbarian to 24 almost entirely on controller, I'm starting to think it's the best way to play a melee class in Diablo 4.'
based on two important factors: there's little chance my friends would be choosing the same when the ever-popular necromancer is right there, and because I hate Diablo's mouse-and-keyboard controls. At risk of readers reaching through their screens and personally shredding my PC gaming card, I can't stand constantly clicking to get around.
In fact, after leveling my barbarian to 24 almost entirely on controller, I'm starting to think it's the best way to play a melee class in Diablo 4. For one, every button is rebindable and there's a customizable utility wheel for quick out-of-reach actions like emotes and potions. Moving around is just straight up better, too. Running with a stick feels completely natural, aided by the fact that you can just nudge the stick if you want to walk.
I do have some gripes, though. I've noticed one important barbarian function that doesn't seem to have a controller bind at all: changing which weapons individual skills use. On mouse this is as simple as clicking middle-mouse while hovering over the skill, but either I'm missing something obvious or Blizzard forgot to make this doable on controller .
It's also hard to imagine I'd be having a smooth ride playing classes that need to plant their feet and aim at specific targets, like sorcerer or necromancer. Your only precise targeting option on controller is a single target lock on right stick. It's functional, but picking out a specific target sounds like a chore when there are often 8-15 enemies on screen.
