Actually the combat system was the one good thing of DCUO

Actually, it wasn't.

Well skill based pvp isnt for everyone.

using a gampad requires less skill then a keyboard

I hated dcuo because of it's UI and it's controls.  Also the combat use to give me headaches, it was always bam bam bam, swosh, and the stupid npc's always repeating stuff like "i thought bain was supposed to make me stronger". 

OMG dcuo was such a waisted effort, or at least for me.  

I used a gamepad in TSW almost the entire time I played, and I really enjoyed it. With a decent enough xpadder setup it's a great alternative; I even had mine setup to work with interface functions, so I didn't really use the mouse for anything.

I never tried it with pvp though, so I can imagine you'd possibly be at a disadvantage using the gamepad, depending on how you set it up. I loved it in pve though.

I can understand using analog controllers for games that need certain precision moving (car simulators, flight simulators etc.), but why would you need analog controls for anything but targetting (which mouse is a more precise choice for anything FPS)?

Only reason I can think of is being a primarily console player that has issues adjusting to the PC gaming peripherals. I guess I can sympathise with that, having the exact opposite problem.

I loved the DCUO combat system... Espescially how they implemented wepon combos...  But then most people allready think GW2 combat is a bit to active...

But the idea of weapon based combats with 4 or 5 (instead of 2) buttons, and clickable skills really shines.

Personally i think TSW ruined combat with only 6 selectable skills. And making it feel really cluncky.

This is absolutely correct
