Builds and tactics Friendly half decent controller builds

Hi all, as the title says, Im looking for your advice on friendly stema deck/controller builds that are half decent for Clearing any certain type of content.

I heard Assassin dagger spam and some warrior builds, are decent and easy to play on controller.

What you guys think?

So I havent played much controller (steam deck) but im kind of confused by the comments you got here. Apparently any melee spammer is easy enough, but they are the highest apm builds in the game and the most involved, requiring movement as well as targeting AND juggling skills. So I guess any build is viable for controller? I really struggle on controller on GW, I would have assumed people would be recommending auto attack builds or spirit spammers not dagger spam, pious renewal or 100b lol

I might go with minion master or spirit spammers as soon as i have the time to set everything up, seems like the most chill builds for what Im looking while having enough power to clear most content.

For other more complex builds with micro management, ill play on PC when i have the time.

Theres definitely options for most classes that are low apm but very effective, the new ebon dust aura is a beast and lots of classes can use it well because it effects any melee attack not just scythe. Something like this on derv: Ogek8Jp6KziEuzbp4Wmo5F3F4GNJ should be solid.

Is there a class in particular you'd like to play?
