Guild Wars 2

I took a long break from computer games/mmos (which I used to play exclusively) but decided to get back into this game. I have been playing on consoles more than anything and have been been fumbling around with the keyboard and not getting the results I am looking for (miss clicking skills, fingers not doing what they are supposed to, ect). The only thing I would miss would be the ground targeting of the mouse.

Doing some research and have noticed some great people have taken the liberty of creating profiles and what not to use a Xbox 360 controller while playing this game. The two most popular ones I have found are Xpadder and Pinnacle.

Has anyone used either or both of these? And which do you prefer?

This is not a console game. To expect to be able to use a controller is ridiculous. You wouldn’t pilot a Boeing 747 with the same instruments as a small turboprop.

Lots of people do it and have had great results with it. I am not asking if I should or shouldn’t. I am asking in people experience which program is better/user friendly.

I use the Xbox360 Controller exclusively when I play GW2.
I also come from Console Background!

This game works best with the controller in mind, specially ground targeting is very flued, at least with my Profile/layouts! lol

I use Xpadder Software.

Here is a Video of me playing with the Xbox Controller with All 8 Professions:

I’m playing gw2 with gamepad since first beta. It feels nearly as if the game was made for gamepads.
