If MF swapping is completely neutered, then MF becomes more of a "bonus" stat like life regen that you have on gear, something that makes your life a bit easier but not anywhere near the importance people place on it now. An item with 20% MF and 80% of the stats of an endgame piece goes for probably 5x the value of the end-game piece right now, for example, and if you use it full-time, you'll probably end up with fewer rares in the same time frame because you kill slower and die more with it. Put another way, if you spend X amount of money on a suit of gear that is focused purely on damage, you will get more rares/time than if you spend 2X amount of money on a suit of gear that has MF in each slot in today's market. | ||

It depends a lot on your build, your general gear level, and most importantly the act you're farming. Act 1, for instance, is so easy that it is trivial to run around there in full MF/DPS gear. If I went from 45k to 90k dps in Act 1, it would barely affect my farm speed, since everything dies almost instantly already. MF is better to stack. I think there are DH who are like that for A3, and after a certain point stacking MF or even movespeed becomes better, since a lot of the time is spent running to elite groups rather than killing them. | ||

You still get 2-3 rares per pack most of the time with 0% MF once u have 5 buff. You waste more time taking the time to swap to full MF gear for very minimal benefits. Unless you wear the MF all the time its more trouble than its worth | ||

Imagine though, if blizzard had released this game, and how much better it would be. EDIT: hmm after looking at the droprates, and the fact I can't run DPS spec in act 3, probably act 2 farming | ||

Dont have a source but I remember them saying that it will be just the same as in softcore. Which means you wont die permanently if you die in PvP. | ||

Maybe. But I think once you get to a certain gear level it becomes much more expensive upgrading your gear and DPS rather than just looking for somewhat close items with MF added onto it. 30% more damage? (which would be a lot less than 30% faster clear) vs 30% more drops. | ||

However, it will most likely even rise higher in the AH, which makes it not a very viable attribute to stack on a limited budget. | ||

This is seriously SO disappointing. Can you imagine how epic a "Hunger Games" style PvP arena would be? Everyone starts naked, and level 1, near a huge pile of gear in the middle of an enormous map. Grab what you can, kill what you can, run like hell to get away. Kill some mobs, level up a little bit, grab some new gear. All the while trying not to get axed. That would be the most fun shit ever. | ||

I never claimed MF doesn't work at all; I'm just saying that with the current scenario, if MF swapping were nerfed, MF becomes roughly as valuable as life regen as a stat instead of being worth 3x as much as resist all when it spawns on an item, in terms of real value. However, it will most likely even rise higher in the AH, which makes it not a very viable attribute to stack on a limited budget. An increase in damage is a direct increase to farm, yes? Well it's the same for MF. MF increases farm potential which is really the only that that matters at this point. Regen is a very small increase in farm potential, it's not comparable at all. Even if you claim it's only a 30% increase that's like having a 30% faster farm, much more valuable than 30% DPS. "MF alone" items are worthless though, yes, for the most part, but an item doesn't need to be godly and have mf. It can have decent stats and decent mf and be worth a lot. | ||
