    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I still don't get why anyone would use the 'reforge legendary' recipe. Let's say I want an ancient GoJ and I have a garbage duplicate already laying around. I can either spend 5x bounty mats and 50x souls or 250 parts/dust/crystals and 125 breaths(1/5 chance to get a gavel from rare ->...

    Shift L in game brings up the leaderboards, probably the best way to objectively compare classes and builds. The website seems to lag behind: Barbarian Greater Rift - Rankings - Diablo III Maybe it's only updated when they do maintenance.

    Unity is solo only, so not sure why you brought up zdps as a reason to not use one. Same thing for defensive gem "synergies"(what?).

    Deathwing - Community - Diablo III It hasn't updated in a day, I replaced Birthright with Smash. And I'm missing a decent Ancient Fury shoulders, which would let me cube a strong arms. Esoteric can be changed for a Taeguk and there's flexibility on passives. Templar is kinda nice...

    FnR is a bit clunky with WoTW since you have to interrupt WWing to do it, which also drops your 40% DR. It's the same reason a lot of wastes builds don't even have rend on their bar. When you start needing that 40% DR at all time, PoC will probably be a better belt.

    Keep your IK pieces while you're at it. IK6 + Gavel seems to be better that WoTW6 + BK2. Top of the non-seasonal leaderboard is dominated by them and I'd like to think at least one poopsocker would have done a higher grift with WoTW6 if he could. Also, HoTA is more fun. WW is so god damn...

    I know interviews started this tangent but that example was not meant that way. That would indeed be a stupid question. It was meant to gauge proficiency while working a job. Should you know that example after 2 years? 4 years? I have no idea but I hate running across that kind of shit...

    Did you know the Borland 6 C++ compiler will return true for this? if(0 + 1 > 0 + 1) Kind of obscure, but it's one I ran into on my previous job. Do you know what optimizations your compilers makes behind the scenes? Corner cases and weird stuff that only comes up once in a while, but...

    The commute joke was a reference to what people have to (typically)sacrifice in order to job hop. I like Ithaca so far, I have a 10 minute commute from the "outskirts" to downtown. But not a whole lot of software competition, so salary when adjusted for cost of living is probably a bit deflated.

    Consultant looking for a salaried position. Don't think he's settling down, he's been working since I was born. Just because something is the norm doesn't mean I have to like it. I would rather work for people I can trust and trust me in return. Maybe that's too idealistic, idk. But it's...

    Define stagnant. I just interviewed a guy with a 4 page resume with most jobs lasting 9 months to almost 2 years. Why should I recommend this guy to my boss if he's just going to up and leave in a couple years? Most technical jobs take that amount of time to get proficient, let alone expert.

    Main stat is only better than elemental if you have a lot of different damage sources, a lot of elemental% stat already, the amulet is ancient, and you have some good main stat multipliers. Only then. AD is not FoTM, more like they fixed AD this patch and it's now perform, mostly, how it...

    Have you done this before? A friend tried slow-cooking a loin(may have even been a tenderloin) in the same manner you do a shoulder. It was complete shit because there's very little connective tissue to convert to gelatin in those muscles.

    Do you *want* one of the elemental absorb ones? Those are only good for fishing extremely high level grifts. BTW, Esoteric Alteration, once it reaches 25% DR, starts out-leveling the damage increase from grifts. It's your all-in-one elemental absorber. derp...ignore comment about Esoteric...

    You mean the nagelring that was patched in 2.2? Yeah, it's not getting nerfed. Try some higher rifts and reevaluate.

    Heh, it's been my experience that CyberCoders are basically scalpers. I mean, shame on the original company for not advertising well enough. If I find your job posting only through a recruiter that you aren't directly working with, that's your fault. I got my current job through them, so...

    What do you do?

    Coincidentally, I just finished phone interviewing someone who would basically be my peer. But they(my higher ups) let me see how much salary he was requesting. This was probably a big mistake because now all I want to do is disqualify him even though he seemed competent and a good fit.

    What do you do?

    What do you like to do in your free time? Do you like working alone or in teams? How do you approach a problem? That's what I think when I read "behavioral interview". I've never heard it called that, usually that get lumped into technical questions and it's just called "an interview"...

    I usually go 1.5:1 inf:art so that reserve regiments of infantry replace casualties during the battle and keep the artillery always protected. Combat width, terrain type, and supply limit almost never line up in this game, it's infuriating. Exercising your full combat width at any time is...

    Same. My wishlist has been growing with very little coming off it recently. I know Steam has to get the publisher's permission for a sale price, but it seems a lot of games aren't budging on lowering the price years after release. I'm looking at you, Kerbal.

    Sorry, I was thinking of a different scenario. I guess I was just thinking working as a contractor is not all roses. Especially if they know what they were paying you beforehand.

    That's very typical at bigger corporations. Fire employee -> hire as contractor for less or reduced liability(or both) -> fire contractor. Sometimes I wish for a programming union, or something.
