I love to play GW2 on the Deck. Some of the vertical maps like HoT maps and Arborstone can be a little bit anyoing due to 20 to 30 FPS only though. 😞
I was one of the early adopters and created my personal controller mapping which was inspired by the official mapping of Elder Scrolls Online. It uses Action Mode Camera, the only big drawback is the game deciding in some occasions to turn action mode on and off for you. So you also have to hit the select button on the steam deck to turn action cam on again.
