Hey All,

So long story short, I've gotten controller support working near perfectly in GW2. It feels even better than Keyboard + Mouse, and better than FFXIV (Which I also play on controller natively). I know it sounds crazy since Arena Net doesn't officially support it but it feels fantastic. Here's the video I used to set up the controls which I highly recommend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUg0Sy9asZE (I tweaked it slightly, for example skill 5 is a joystick click in my setup)

The only remaining issue (and it's a pretty big issue for me) is the skillbar UI. Since we can't move the skills or skillbar, it's stuck in a straight horizontal position. Controllers have a diamond shaped button layout. While it sounds like a nitpick, it becomes a huge hassle when in combat. I frequently forget what skill is assigned to each button and it has caused more deaths than I care to admit. I've checked out both Blish and Nexus. Blish had nothing (great tool though) and Nexus has a few possible options I could find but it's a bit more complicated to set up so I wanted to step back and ask for advice.

So my question to all you lovely people is pretty simple, does anyone have any idea that would allow me to do one of the following?

A. Adjust the skill bar to a diamond shaped formation.

B. Allow you to add additional icons to track cooldown times of skills that can be moved around the screen (This Nexus addon might be a possibility (https://github.com/Zerthox/gw2-reffect).

C: Allow you pin small screenshots to the screen (this would be a last resort, but I could take small images of each skill and move then to a diamond formation to remember the button layout, then use the normal skillbar to track cooldown times)

If we can get this working not only would it help me but it could be a legit new way to get people playing who otherwise never would, and I cannot stress how great it feels outside of this one issue. Please give it a try if you haven't already and thank you for any advice!
