How very Zen.

I still don't know what class I'm playing.

NVM it's martial artists. The glove node too retarded to pass up.

Still undecided as well, may just wait a weekend and see how everyone fares - kinda need a break after super try-harding POE1.

Anyone played monk with a controller? How shitty is it to target and hit bells?

I don’t remember when I played bells, but I’ve never had a hard time targeting anything with controller.

Speaking of controller, really hope they fasttrack hotswapping to keyboard/mouse for 1.0. I played some of the D4 expac and a controller really does feel great for some of the classes/builds. Still would want a kb/m setup for stash and trading but just blasting maps I think I want a controller from now on.

Generally speaking it works really well, but it all comes down to target priority. Some skills/builds are absolute garbage with controller though. Lightning Arrow immediately comes to mind; LA itself is fantastic and gamepad auto-target is so good that it was vastly superior to using m/k for clearing maps, which required a massive dps hit from nova projectiles to accomplish the same thing (I'm talking pre nova rework, obviously). Unfortunately, Lightning Rod & Tornado Shot made the build complete ass to play vs. bosses where you actually need your max dps because those skills never go where you actually want them to when you use a controller.

It'll probably also depend on what skill you plan on using. I've never had issue hitting bells with whirling assault but other skills might not be so forgiving.
