on console it is quite tricky to effectively do forward night crow, unlike pc where you can create a keybind for forward night crow. I often find myself trying to do forward night crow and it just ends up with me walking a bit forwards. Is there a better way to do it? if i get a controller with paddles, can I assign one of the paddles to forward nightcrow? or is there another easier method.

Just tap forward twice, though honestly in any PvP forward night crow will get you killed more often then not. Though if in PvE just jumping and hitting forward will teleport you forward easily.

Avoid forward nightcrow in pvp at all costs it's a sure fire way to die, try to move sideways like a crab with nightcrow into storming for the superarmor

But this is a point. I struggle with fwd nc too. Would be much better with LT.

You can buffer inputs so you forward night crow easily after another move. But if I want to do just forward nc from standby I jump first and that let's you do it by holding LT.

Seen a video of Tamer who seem to need the double forward to dash. On PC they simply bind a key for that. This would be great for console.
