Guild Wars 2

I have looked into some 360 controller builds and am finding it tough as an Engineer to use the AOE ground casting. Actually…with the build I have now, I have NO IDEA how to do it.

I’m sure this has been discussed, but I looked online and found it difficult to find a profile that worked well. I have some back issues that flare up a lot and using the Nostro Gamepad has helped, but being able to sit back with a controller will take away any tension.

Can anyone here as an Engineer or an AOE ground caster, currently using a controller, please recommend or provide me with a Xpadder profile? I purchased the program thinking it would be a quick fix, but like so many things I need to be a little more digging.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Have you tried changing the ground targeting options?

To be honest, I didn’t know that you could do it! How would that impact my controller usage? Would it auto find enemies? Do you know any controller setups or Xpadder files?

On the options menu change ground targeting to instant and see if that helps. It’ll use the ability where ever your mouse pointer is at.

I’m not familiar with xpadder so I can’t help there. But I will say even with a mouse grenade kit takes a bit of learning.

As Phy said changing the ground targeting options can help, there are actually 3 options now. I personally love the new one “Fast with Range Indicator”. Meaning it gives you the green/red circle while the button is pressed and casts it upon release. So I can hold the button down to aim if I want or just tap to cast. Also if you aiming and want to cancel you can drop kit or aim out of range.
