Both Retequizzle and I use gamepads to play. It's a ton harder than mouse because even though both types of playing have access to the same amount of precision, there's a difference between how you choose your aim.
With a mouse, you have targetted aim. This means that you can place your cursor on your target and hit exactly there. It's definitely the most powerful type of aiming in SK.
With a gamepad, your aiming is directional, though. You decide the direction with the stick as opposed to just the target and it adds another step to the aiming process where you're required to coordinate not just your hands and eyes, but also coordinate your direction and target. Besides that, you don't have any on-screen indication of where you're aiming apart from your character's direction, which is a lot harder to tell than where your mouse cursor is.

While gamepads may have more options in terms of aiming, it's worth noting that it's a lot harder than arrow key aiming. When using arrows, you aren't gonna have a hard time aiming straight northeast. They're different kinds of hard, I suppose.

Correct me if I' m wrong but

Correct me if I' m wrong but I don't think that mouse players really put the cursor on the target to aim. I mean, you don t have time to do so. You just select the direction and then hit. I should pay attention while playing but as a mouse user , I don't even think that I look at the cursor when tryharding . You just play at the feeling and you look at nothing else but the opponent and your knight.

That' s my feeling, I should check this in my next games.

Well congratulations, you have good aim! That doesn't, however, change the fact that you attack exactly where you place your cursor, i.e. you have targetted aiming.

Totally agree with fayeth

obsidian carbine with AT is totally destructing. The high dmg and constnt charge cancel AND poison makes the gun almost impossible to counter as bomber (I guess one way is to go as recon and stalk him with hammer -> mengh :D )

On topic: blitz...meh yes with increased speed and range I should fear it, but I haven't seen anyone use it well except you illu :3

Back on topic

What GU armor do you see rising up in LD?

My guess is the Falcon sets with their shock resist.
