I tried to make this similar to other console dungeon crawlers. Both analog sticks automatically start clicking 10 times/sec when you push them past 65%. Movement is nearly indistinguishable from regular console games. I'd recommend using the Left stick for general movement and the Right for Looting. Pressing the Right Trigger and Shoulder Buttons start firing. You'll stop moving and use the analog sticks to aim. Action bars are mapped to the face buttons starting with A = 1 and goes clockwise up. Left trigger enters Menu Mode for sorting inventory etc. releasing it closes all menu windows. Left Shoulder Toggles Health Display and shows loot on the ground.

Version 4.1 LS Move
Added second Configuration with Move only on Left Stick (no Mouse Click)
Differences
L JOYSTICK - Move > 65%: Move (Up Arrow) MAPPED TO MOUSE SPRING
L JOYSTICK BTN - Show - Health/Items
L SHOULDER - Switches to the original Mouse Click style move
NOTE: To use this configuration you will need to map the move function in Diablo III to the Up Arrow

Blizzard has been talking about playing Diablo III with a controller and how good it feels for some time now, most likely due to its inevitable console port. Why wait for Blizzard to (maybe) patch controller support into the game? My .pin supports full range of movement on the Left Stick using the mouse spring function and it works like a charm for true click-free movement. Controlling movement this way also means that there doesn't need to be a button assigned for Mouse 1 because any time you press the stick in any direction Mouse 1 is already being pressed and held. So now the "stand your ground" button (L Shift) turns into your fire key. Pull the Right Trigger and push the Left Stick in the general direction of the bad guys and your character will stop in their tracks and start attacking anything in their path. This layout was put together to play with my witch doctor, how it will work for other champions remains to be seen but I would imagine it will work with little trouble. This layout doesn't really work in the menus, but I prefer to use my mouse in the menus anyway. Over the next couple days I'm going to add some more commands as well as force feedback for each individual skill button (1-4) to give each of them their own unique rumble when fired so you have some tactile feedback when firing off your spells. Blizzard was right, it does feel great!

Update: I went back in an added all the remaining commands including the emotes. Now everything available to you on your KB/M should be available to you on your controller.

I spent the last couple of days tweaking this profile and I think I got it just right.

The only things I would change if I could would be to be able to add vibration/force feedback (I don't know how) and I wish that Diablo 3 allowed movement to be mapped to directional or WASD keys. Alas, it does not. In Diablo 3 movement is purely mouse or single key-press driven.

Overall what I've come up with works very well and is a lot of fun.

Here's the layout:

L Joystick - mapped to mouse
R Joystick - mapped to mouse
L Trigger - Right Mouse Button (Secondary Attack)
R Trigger - Left Mouse Buton (Main Attack/Move/Interact)
D-Pad Left - Journal
D-Pad Right - Inventory
D-Pad Up - Quick Heal
D-Pad Down - Follower Panel
A Button - Quick Slot 1
B Button - Quick Slot 2
X Button - Quick Slot 3
Y Button - Quick Slot 4
Left Shoulder - Force Stand Still
Right Shoulder - Map
Back - Abilities
Start - Game Menu
Left Joystick Button - Show Ground Item Descriptions
Right Joystick Button - Zoom

not much here just a fancy time consuming mess on the left joystick for controling the mouse while playing diablo type click to move games. i know it sez vindictus, i usualy dont use that boot feature and just launch in persistant.

DIABLO 3 LAWN MOWING MELEE EDITION

--this is complicated to set up but if you figure it out you'll never go back to your mouse--

**there is some setup so read everything**

Why is this called lawn mowing edition?

what alot of people dont know is when you hold down a MELEE (spectral blade works too) ability bound to 1-4 , your character will follow your mouse and and only attack stuff with this ability while your char is on way to your cursor.
you pretty much run around and point in the direction you want to mow down, just like a lawn mower


The other thing is that if you hold down one button then hold down another, the newer one takes priority so you can hold abilities on cooldown BEFORE they're up and they'll use it as soon as its available.

Left joypad - "Lawn mowing glory" springboard mouse from center + holds down your 3 abilty while you move it.

- Bind a melee ability to 3 you'll see why its awesome. you cruse around and wail on stuff.
-You need to remap the springboard to the center of your screen.
- You need to remap the "go to coordinates" of in the "3centerdelay" command to the center of your monitor.
(Take your resolution and divide each number by 2 and plug it in)
- Flicking it recenters mouse after using right joypad to loot or whatever

*** There is Also a bug if you go from fullscreen to windowed fullscreen mode (same resolution) it messes up pinnacle and you have to close and open pinnacle it for it to figure out the center

Right joypad - mouse around used for looting.

d-pad right - holds control and alt so you can see whats on the ground and inspect it

right shoulder - hold it to skip cutscenes, click ok to start bosses, rezzes (does not accept revive)
- this ones a pain to remap but its worth it. you want to map the 3 mouse gotos in the "okletsgo" command in this order
1. Where your release spirit button is when you die
2. where the "are you sure you want to skip cutscene" button is
3. the LOWER HALF of the accept button that pops up when someone starts a boss event. you have to do the lower half because it moves a little bit depending on who starts it.

X button - Releases 3 and shift clicks. This is sick for using getaway abilities like furious charge.

Left shoulder - click for next song (awesome with spotify) double click to go back a song

right joypad - mouse

Triggers are left and right click.

here are the rest of the buttons.


i have a 60 barb and 60 wiz, and i use this setup in INFERNO difficulty.

stuff that has a chance to proc you want to bound to 2 (b button) because its autofire spamming

Diablo III profile. The movement is set to mouse spring and the buttons are based off of users: "Contraindicated" here http://pinnaclegameprofiler.com/forum/showthread.php?25134-Diablo-III

the first thing to do is to set the movement key binding in game to the up keyboard key. it doesn't control the menus. the other modifications are the Quick Heal button it's been moved to the left shoulder button the map button is the up d-pad arrow. it's not perfect but it works.

also the size of your monitor is important, mine is a 24" ASUS, you need to add to the y-axis until the pivot point is right over your character onscreen by setting it to YOUR monitor using the "finder tool" under "use specific coordinates for the pivot point" also check the box: "classic-mode"

the profile is for the barbarian and i don't think it will work for ranged characters without tweaking.

Here's the layout:

L Joystick - mapped to mouse spring
R Joystick - mapped to mouse
L Trigger - Right Mouse Button (Secondary Attack)
R Trigger - Left Mouse Button (Main Attack/Move/Interact)
D-Pad Left - Journal
D-Pad Right - Inventory
D-Pad Up - Map
D-Pad Down - Follower Panel
A Button - Quick Slot 1
B Button - Quick Slot 2
X Button - Quick Slot 3
Y Button - Quick Slot 4
Left Shoulder - Quick Heal
Right Shoulder -
Back - Abilities
Start - Game Menu
Left Joystick Button - Show Ground Item Descriptions
Right Joystick Button - Zoom
