is gamepad have to select the spell every time i wanna cast? or anything i miss to fix this? i saw some video that they can cast spell without selecting.
moreover, you can rebind controls however you want it to be. I think you can set individual spells for direction of stick(as guy ^ suggested) or cross-type buttons. Additionaly, there "delay before cast" set to x4 by default. I swapped to x2 and suddenly now it's not a pain in the derriere. You can even set it to x1, but it's too fast for myself.
