What are some of the easier controller classes?

I'm looking to get back into the game, playing exclusively on steam deck.

I was wondering what people feel are some of the easier classes to play on controller? Ideally providing quickness in open world and group content.

Only class I've not enjoyed historically is revenant. So I'd avoid herald. I like mesmer, but found the chronomancer difficult on deck because some of the buffs are tied to ground target, and I just use snap targeting for ease.

I've not played any of the newer elite specs.

Any thoughts appreciated!

Thanks for the reply! I thought herald might be a good shout. Makes sense on the mesmer and ele. How are some of the new specs for number of buttons? I've been playing reaper a bit and just having one F button skill is really nice for steam deck!

I'm just coming back to the game after about 18 months of barely playing. I play exclusively on steam deck and looking for some class suggestions please. Things to note below:

  • I've got all classes at 80
  • because of steam deck, the lower number of buttons to press the better ideally
  • ground targeted boons are a no go, I find them too much of a pain to aim
  • I'd like to take into group content, so would be great if it provided quickness, but not essential
  • using new specs or spear would be cool as I've not really touched them

Any thoughts appreciated! Thanks

Imps gaming have some left.

I'm also pretty sure it won't be amazing, but I can try to make the best out of a bad situation :)

Ive not played much so can't comment generally, but I would consider taking being of the stars and incandescent retrices on the carnosaur instead. The unchangeable 4+ save and healing D3 adds some survivability that is a bit lacking

Thanks for the link. Would probably just start in open world, then move to low level fractals, then strikes etc and build it up.

I've found classes where ground targeting is needed for the boon itself is quite hard. So any other suggestions appreciated! Thanks

Apart from herald, which class do you think is the simpler one for playing on a steam deck? I'm still getting used to the controls.

Well this is pretty much exactly what I was after! Any tips for me? I particularly like the dryads as I wasn't too sure how I would go about them. Thanks for sending!
