Complete Controller Guide for World of Warcraft: Forever

Welcome to a comprehensive guide on how to play World of Warcraft: Forever using a controller. With the game launching into beta on September 17 and officially releasing on November 4, Blizzard has introduced native controller support, meaning you no longer need any third-party addons to play from your couch or on a handheld device.

In this video, we cover everything from the initial setup, navigating to the Options menu to enable Gamepad Alpha and turning on the Gamepad UI, to advanced combat mechanics. We break down how to utilize the Left and Right Triggers as modifiers to access up to 28 different action bar slots across three pages, and how the game natively supports both Xbox and PlayStation button layouts.

We also dive into the trickier aspects of console-style MMO gameplay. You will learn how to hold the Start button to turn your Right Stick into a virtual mouse for managing party frames, interacting with vendors, and selling items. We also cover how to seamlessly use quest items via the D-pad, manage ground-targeted AoE spells, and even a reliable workaround for fishing with a controller.
