Cleared campaign full T2 from.beginning to end, hardcore only, with a stadia controller. Did it as a blizzard frost orb sorc, which I think is trash.
Probably just being gear checked. Go do some side quests until aegendary drops that temporarily breaks you for a few levels.
I ended up just flipping to T1 to get past it so I could finish the story (and then flipped back immediately after and never had an issue again). Since then, I've gotten some legendary gear that would have probably carried me (specifically, a piece that gives me a pretty big barrier as soon as I hit an elite or higher that lasts 10s and can pop every 30s - its gotten me out of a few scrapes already; got another piece that bumps my skeletal mages by 2 and they freeze shit near instantly if they actually focus on one target)
I played through with a rogue on wt2 and was able to get him first time. Was using a controller as well. I also can pick the direction my attacks go with my left thumb stick and I never use the targeting system. Maybe there’s some weirdness going on with your controls since you’re on a steam deck?
So the way I have it configured is I have auto-targeting enabled in the options as this lets me avoid having to click R3 to initially target a mob. I rarely use the targeting feature explicitly, but it's helped on a number of occasions as a sort of crutch. I may just shut that off and try to go without targeting at all since that's primarily how I've actually been playing (I'll move away from the fight and let my minions pick up the slack while I reposition and then point myself where i want to attack; auto-targeting mostly picks up what I'm after).
The controls on the Deck are being recognized as a standard gamepad to my knowledge, so that shouldn't be the issue, but I suppose you never know.
Oh I gotcha - I actually turned that auto targeting off because I found it conflicted with manual aiming. Maybe give that a shot!
Will do! Definitely gave me something to think about and try, so thanks!
Died a few times to him as sorc. He's fast and hurts. Beat him by changing spec from ice shards to firewall and hydra and kiting everything. Seems like the aoe gas option folks are talking about is a similar shift. Hard to beat as a caster.
I'm actually starting to look at other classes for when I wrap the main story (so I can just skip it with subsequent characters) - sorc looks really interesting, but I'm not sure how well it'll play with the controller. Or, rather, how happy I'll be personally with it on controller.
