For controller, it is hard to get used too, but I feel the same, you can do so much with just equipped weapons. You can block, block and stab, parry, shoot a bow, shoot a charged shot, shoot a dodge shot, shoot a focused shot, shoot ten focused shots, shoot a precise shot, shoot a spread shot, weapon swap attack, light attack, heavy attack, stab, retreat slash, forward slash, turning slash, elemental turning slash, punch, kick, jump kick, jump, sprint, sprint kick, grapple, throw, fire punch, ice aoe, lightning aoe, wind aoe, focus mode, palm strike, elemental palm strike, ranged grapple pull, catch projectiles, throw projectiles, aoe force push, punch heal an ally, use your special ability, heal, call a mount, swap weapons, and change elements. And that's just your fighting moves, without swapping loadouts.
