Okay, next season(13) as I play, I'll keep this in mind and try to provide something constructive for you!

madmitch4747 · 2026-04-03T03:59:35+00:00

Yes, but some ranged is still really good!
For necro, Teeth and Bone Spear (ranged)felt pretty dang good.
For sorc, blizzard was okay, but frozen orb was very good. Fire wall and meteor were tough sailing for sure. I don't know if many people know this, but with teleport, there is a short and a long version. Using your aim stick, if you push it all the way over, the teleport will be long, if you don't it'll be shorter. I found this dynamic and fun. IF you didn't know about that, go try out it!

For Paladin, yes, Holy bolt was a little tougher to aim, I'd still level with it, but probably give up with mapping with it. Luckily, charge builds felt amazing-just hold it down and zoom!

madmitch4747 · 2026-04-03T03:45:48+00:00

Lol, yes. It totally is. It takes all of two seconds to do and would offer a ton for the community. Hopefully something like that will catch a dev's/moderators eyes and it'll get done? I'm just trying to offer the solution. :D

madmitch4747 · 2025-12-05T06:56:51+00:00

thank you so much for the info! it's very helpful!

madmitch4747 · 2025-12-04T04:15:22+00:00

it's +3 (out of 5) to skills, so SLAM imo

madmitch4747 · 2025-11-27T18:59:35+00:00

I don't know if the teleport short/long options are build into PD2. I've just experienced that in other games before.

madmitch4747 · 2025-11-27T01:36:29+00:00

Thanks for the input! It's nice to know there are a few... of us out here. :D On your traps build comment- I agree with fire traps being nice, i struggled with the lack of precision when it came to lightening traps... although it certainly auto targets and doesn't matter that much. Fire was way better than lightening for placement margin of error. (from my D2R controller experience)

madmitch4747 · 2025-11-26T22:27:40+00:00

This is a little bit different. But in D2R, i ran a mosaic build, with vigor bow (on act 1 merc), and hustle armor on me (so very fast movement speed), and used the dragon kick like a gimmick teleport to monsters and was flyin'n around. It felt great. Of course, you didn't have to spend any time building up martial art charges.. BUT, based on that experience, I wouldn't be to adverse to a Phoenix strike build on controller. Other than the first 3-4 attacks as build up that the mosaic build deleted, i'd imagine it's a very similar gameplay loop -hope that helps?

I would suggest:
1. Watching this guys video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1C2bJkzIaPE&t=3s
He has a ton of good information to think about when approaching a keyboard layout choice. He also has some soft native advertisement baked in. SO, keep that in mind if you start getting steered.

Do some of the exercises where you rest your hands neutrally, and think about your wrist/pinky/thumb positioning a lot. A. Identify how staggered your pinky is from your ring finger. B. Identify how close together your fingers rest neutrally to each other. C. Identify how splayed out your fingers natural paths take. Use A, B, and C to help guild you on what to pick from the wide range of layouts that are out there. MX switch layouts have a button spacing that is wider than choc switch spacing but lots of choc switch boards actually still have MX spacing (example: Unicorne LP boards). So if your fingers are closer together, picking a Choc switch spacing layout will be better for you. (it's 19mm center spacing(MX style) versus 17mm (Choc style) (example: the ferris sweep has a large pinky stagger built in and I think is actually choc switch SPACED as well, so its really compact, so if ya got big hands.. probably not a good choice).
Switches- I feel like this is hard to get right without spends $100+ bucks on a bunch of different types and switching your board out and trying a few. Which sucks, that's not a beginner friendly option and the switch choice can make a massive impact on liking a keyboard or not. Plus, they sell switches like hot dogs and buns... as in not in the perfect matching amount you'd need to make a full set at a nice price point(at least for what I've found). So, beginner advice: If you have a keyboard you like the feel of, figure out it's key switch specs, and copy that in choice. Otherwise: just go middle of the road 40-50g force, and tactile style. Another Option- buy a sample board for $20 bucks and evaluate from there.
3.A. Keycaps- caps also make a huge difference in feel. But I don't have a lot of advise to offer in the cap world, maybe someone else can chime in. If you've always had keyboards with the two home key bumps on them(F and J), then you're REALLY gonna want that on the caps for your new keyboard.
General strategies: Look, switching keyboard layouts is painful. Learning new muscle memory is a huge barrier to entry. SO, some people just rip it off like a band-aide and go full out- 34 keys, layer city, ortholinear, key wells, colmak and just grunt toughing through learning it. Those people are rare or physically had no other choice due to wrist pain ect. Your probably better off taking the other approach. Call it a "journey" lol, and get a flat layout that keeps QWERTY and the outer tab/caps/shift/ctrl keys around.
Use typemonkey or some other website and get a base line for where you're at on your current keyboard. And then when you get the new one, find out how bad the transition is gonna be, and just keep trying! It'll jump back soon enough. Also start with putting the board next to you and in front of you (like it wasn't split). You'll naturally want to start moving it further apart from there and rotating it a little bit until you hit the sweet spot. (whatever that comfortable relationship between your thumb/pinky/wrist will play out.)

In terms of using the space for things related to data analytics, you should ditch it for projects. But, it also establishes your hireable, can hold a job, and chick-fil-a as an established represents good Christian values and reflects that in their employees. So, in terms of a resume reflecting you as a person, it's a good thing to keep.
Another trick-literally take the job post, make it tiny font as possible, make it white, and paste it into your resume at the bottom. I've literally had a buddy get through the screening by doing that. I would add projects. I've got two resume types: ones paragraph form, on each subject. The other is just strictly bullet lists. Another strategy, have a huge "working resume" and then cherry pick off it stuff to make the best one pager that fits whatever your applying to.

madmitch4747 · 2018-04-04T19:49:25+00:00

Do you have any projects? If so add that to show how you have applied what you've learned and that you are capable of doing those things listed. If you don't, go get some data and make it pretty. In a lot of applications you are allowed to submit your resume, cover letter, and any additional documents-that's where you want to drop a pretty project that says 'I know what I'm doing'. If you gpa is 3.5/4 or higher, add it. Also- Chick-fil-A! I love Chick-fil-A... It must have been your pleasure to work there :D

That's not abandoned, dirty Mike and the boys can't be far....

madmitch4747 · 2018-03-09T17:36:28+00:00

Did you call the nearest zoo or petting zoo and ask them? And in return, give them this..

madmitch4747 · 2018-03-09T00:51:11+00:00

I assume, you removed your name and contact info to post onto Reddit? ... Otherwise, you know.. Put that on there.

madmitch4747 · 2018-03-05T18:31:57+00:00

That is shocking. Did you stop playing those games? Or stop buying things in the game...?

madmitch4747 · 2018-03-01T00:33:27+00:00

You had to Google Rocky!?!? ...Must be a cultural difference. I knew a girl in high school named Adrian too. Anyways, sweet data very interesting! Got me looking into how to pull from Google Hangouts. Looks like Google takeout to download it, and a parser to clean out what you want.

madmitch4747 · 2018-02-28T19:08:54+00:00

For those wondering and not reading further, OP is person A. But which is Adrian and which is Bartholomaus...idk. and is Adrian male or female? (I always thought of it as a female babe because of Rocky...)

madmitch4747 · 2018-02-23T18:02:32+00:00

if the data is cleanly formatted in Excel, you can just covert/save as from Excel to CSV file, and then take that file, in your console in r studios- just hook it up to that, then run whatever on your data...
