Classes good with contollers

Hey guys! So I am trying to go over to using a controller for kicks and gigs and was wondering what classes work best? I'm assuming classes that aren't keyboard stuffers because my controller only registers 10 buttons luls.

I'm assuming NL, NW, Aran, TB maybe, and that's all I could think of that could best utilize this. Is there anymore?

@PineSawl: I'll try to do it anyway. I don't mind setting teleport on a trigger button.

Anyone who wants to know the outcome should quote me so I can tell them of my success/failure.[/quote]
Well with what people have been saying and what I've experienced already in my short time of playing with a controller, mages are probably very difficult. Teleport is a whole nothing button to worry about.

Aran, or DemonSlayer sound pretty good.

Beginner. Attack, move and jump.

But seriously, any class that has a spammable skill as "attack". Kanna, Kaiser and DS.
Battlemage would be a horrible choice, as with most mages because of teleport.

Blaze wizard might work for the controller right?

I can't play this game with just a keyboard, so to me all classes are great with a control pad.

[quote=simaini]@PineSawl: i use a ps4 remote and there's like 14 buttons lol. but doesn't an xbox 360 controller have 4 face buttons, analog stick buttons, 2 shoulder, the black and white, and the start and the xbox button or something?[/quote]
I have the 4 face, 2 bumpers, 2 stick buttons, the start and option button or w/e and that's it. It won't let me access the trigger buttons.

[quote=PineSawl]That's what I'm saying, the controller hypothetically has 12, but it only allows me to assign 10 things. It's an xbox 360 controller haha.[/quote]

Are you using Maple's default crap?
You ought to get XPadder, it's free as far as I know.

[quote=simaini]it doesn't matter how many buttons your controller has, you can only use how ever many buttons they let you. also, if you change the default quick slots, it'll change the joypad mapping too so you don't have to change the actual keys on your keyboard[/quote]
