CM Trent worked very hard for a long time with the console development team to find an effective way for console players to utilize the Forward Evasion skill for Tamers commonly referred to as W,W. Ultimately the console development team was able to give console Tamer players an effective way to use the Forward Evasion skill, I have outlined the changes that were made below.

I have been playing video games on console for over 20 years, the last 3 years I have spent playing BDO. Switching to PC was a very scary decision for me but I made the decision knowing that almost all games have gamepad support, and switching to a mouse-and-keyboard style of control could be difficult to learn. I have noticed that the PC Gamepad controls are not all the same as they are on console and have made the adjustments necessary to adapt to almost all of them, but the one thing that I cannot adapt to and am requesting to be changed is the W,W skill for Tamer. The attached video is from a console player and BDO partner describing the need for the W,W change to Tamer, the video is appropriate because it was made BEFORE the changes were made to improve the W,W sill. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpL8-WLVUZE

I am requesting to update the GAMEPAD controls to match the changes that have been made to Tamer on console. I have attached the sections of the patch notes from the console updates where i believe these changes were implemented on console.

[Update] 1/10/22 Character Reboot Patch Note 2
● Fixed an issue where when using the evasion skill with LS↑ + L2 L2/LT LT, the evasion not being continued when L2/LT are continuously held.

[Update] June 22nd, 2022 Patch Notes Part 2:
● Changed entering ↑↑ with your celestial bo staff to now activate Evasion instead of Legendary Beast's Power and switch to your shortsword.
- Entering LT/L2 + B/O***(I BELIEVE THIS IS A TYPO, LEGENDARY BEAST'S POWER IS ACTIVATED WITH LT/L2 + A/X)*** will activate Legendary Beast's Power as before.

[Update] Patch Notes - September 1, 2022 Part 2:
● Fixed an issue where using Evasion while in Awakening (↑+LT+LT / ↑+L2+L2) would not activate in certain situations.

Please understand that i do not want any of these changes for anyone that is NOT using a GAMEPAD, these changes should ONLY be implemented with the "Use Gamepad UI" option turned "on" in the settings.

I have made an effort that can be seen below to reach out to PA though tickets as well as forum posts, nothing has yet made it though to the adventurer feedback board though.
