It's like having to choose between the job you love and the job that pays well enough to be worth doing, which is the kind of annoying decision we have to make in real life, not something we want to deal with in a video game. The stat serves no purpose and offers nothing, it just punishes the player for doing what the game is all about: upgrading your gear. i'm sorry, i disagree there is an advantage to wearing no mf gear : you kill faster so you drop more items, including rare ones so there is a balance to catch between efficiency and luck to answer another poster above you, the fact that some builds lend themselves to mfing and others dont was already the case in d2 and it wasnt much of a problem. i'm much more concerned about the huge difference of power between a great build and a sucky one, than about mfing being an unbalancing stat or whatever dischargers blow up full groups while i have trouble killing one or two mobs mf stats are pretty much irrelevant in the face of this disparity so in conclusion my advice is to make a very powerful build and you will get stuff... you might sacrifice a piece of gear or several for mf or not, but you will kill so much anyway that you will get stuff aplenty also i would hate to see mf go it's versatility, point blank.

That's not the case when playing in full party, you just need one MFer with culling strike to get maximum benefits for the whole group. Meaning once again solo players are at disadvantage (but they buy less cosmectic effects so hey w/e). Also the way rarity works there is no circonstances in which a powerful build will get more valuable items then a mediocre one. More magic items? Very likely. More rare? Probably not. More uniques? Pretty much impossible. Last edited by SmilingCat#6681 on Nov 18, 2013, 5:20:47 PM	Posted by SmilingCat#6681 on Nov 18, 2013, 5:16:28 PM Quote this Post
The whole MF is a contradiction itself. A main goal of this kind of ARPG is to find “better” gear, so you use “nerfed” MF gear to obtain it, and you obtain it, but you will never use it because it makes you less effective obtaining... “better” gear... So we are involved in a continuous searching of gear that we’ll never use.	Posted by Destello#1944 on Nov 25, 2013, 1:45:21 PM Quote this Post

I hate this thread and everyone in it. Bunch of suggestions regarding paragon shit-levels and other absolutely crap ideas. MF on your gear is the difference between GREAT gear and really good gear. You can have both, but it is not easy to get. If you are running maps you simply switch out some pieces for others if dps/survivial is more important for that map. This thread is just a got damn mass meeting for jealous cry babys.	Posted by t_t#1280 on Nov 25, 2013, 3:08:35 PM Quote this Post

Agreed. Magic find is garbage. Get rid of it.	Posted by Kiran04#0268 on Nov 25, 2013, 4:23:00 PM Quote this Post
When farming Piety in complete MF gear is more profitable than gearing your character to the teeth and pushing through the hardest content, you know something needs to change. +1 Remove this outdated and counter intuitive mechanic.	Posted by Cooley#4485 on Nov 25, 2013, 5:20:23 PM Quote this Post
