Hopefully Blizzard will fix that, that is definitely not how magic find items are supposed to be used.
Isn't it already handled ? I read somewhere that the MF is checked when you see the mob for the first time, not when you kill it.

Pretty sure that this is not the case. Like 95% sure.

Can you elaborate on this? Step 1: Stock up on base magic find since you won't be getting any neph buffs. Each class will be different but here's my magic find stats/dps/vit when doing these runs: http://i.imgur.com/B8Aqt.jpgStep 2: Start the prime evil quest and waypoint to the Crystal Colonadde. Step 3: Just run past every single portal ignoring every mob(they won't hit you) until you get to level 1 of the silver spire. There are 3 possible spawns here : butterfly chick, blood guy, mira. Step 4: Talk to whoever spawns and kill them, you will probably have to ignore mira and just relog if she spawns. Step 5: Enjoy the easiest and most broken farm in the game that will definitely get patched very soon, otherwise this game is duuuuuumb. Note: This can be done even if you haven't unlocked act 4. Simply just choose the quest on hell -> leave game -> join pub -> leave game -> play it on inferno. What's worse is that as DH there are ways to glitch the blood dude so you take 0 damage, and the butterfly chick only attacks Tyrael. ZERO effort farming.
lol, legendary shield on my first kill, rng is rng

Yeah we were farming that a bunch yesterday, got a 1k DPS crossbow for myself and 1k DPS staff for our wizard in about an hour. I went back solo this morning and filled a full inventory with blues in about 20 minutes. I only have about 13k DPS in my shitty magic find gear and it's still really easy to solo.

New farming area: Act 2 there is a farmable chest, go find it!
|
if anyone want to go on this Inferno act 4 runs, add me Chronos#1643
|
his trick is only good of you cant farm the champions in the high acts properly.
You can make a lot of money with an act 4 weapon drop, if you cant farm it normally, pony land suicide chest runs or this trick are viable.
|
did they nerf it? (the 'ghosts' run) Got Kulle this morning and he hit'd me at 90k~ one shot even with energy armor/diamond skin on. Outch.
still pretty easy to farm tho, thanks for the tip!
|
one ghost dropped 3 blues, so I guess not.
|
Kulle freaking heals 150k hp per second randomly and it's a total diceroll whether I kill him in 3 seconds or if he repeatedly heals to full without me being able to do anything until he kills me
-_-
|
is it just me or farming the end of act 1 is way better? the champions are way easier to kill and 5 stacks on butcher is really really imba...

-_- If you are playing ranged, which you probably are, there is a way to fuck with his pathing so that Tyreal blocks him and the only thing attack he attempts is the frozen ball thingy.

It's more of a lazyness thing, but if you are fast, this method will net you more blues. Doing butcher runs will get you a few more yellows but a lot less blues.

It's probably better to use the waypoint after izual, you only need 10steps to get to the spire level 2.

Magdha Checkpoint before the entry to her 'home'. just at the first house is a cellar with a golden chest. the cellar is open 3/4 of the time and you are there with teleport + whormhole in a view seconds.

This was one of the things they hotfixed last night. The cellar now randomly has either no chest or a regular chest. No more resplendent chest. It's already rolled out to some of the game servers.

Aspect farming nerfed? i've only been getting shitty loot.
|
just found a 1300 dps 2h weapon while farming aspect (196 MF), so I guess you just had bad luck
