Because the controller lacks the precision of a mouse for ground-targeted AoE spells (e.g., the Embermage’s Firestorm), auto-targeting is your friend. The game includes an excellent “smart casting” system: hit a skill button, and the game automatically targets the nearest enemy or drops the AoE centered on the nearest mob. Builds reliant on precise trap placement (Outlander’s Long Range Mastery) feel slightly less effective, while channeled abilities (Embermage’s Frost Wave) and melee builds shine on Switch.
