Is Ashes of Creation Handheld / Controller friendly?

Since the boom of handhelds' PCs I wonder if Ashes of Creation is handheld friendly, meaning, UI is well structured to small screen, text is readable on it too; but before it all, is it possible to play with a controller ? Thanks ! Looking forward to its launch.

Configuring to play with Controller is easy (but not supported, I'm talking about the number of buttons required), and the skills shown could be easily mapped in the 'standard way'.
The game will allow for Tab Targeting to be viable enough that camera work with the Right Analog Stick will be okay, and the current frame data for attacks and 'skillshots' is also fine.
There were some quicker moves and evades shown, but many of those are so fast that they are probably meant to simulate iFrames and you wouldn't be expected to be able to keep up perfectly with either Kb/Mouse OR Analog stick.
Overall, from my Alpha-1 experience, the answer will be yes.
Many MMORPG's have controller support today.
Most controllers depending on input options (d-pad, XY/AB, bumpers, triggers and paddles, joystick press) have like 18 button inputs before input combinations.
