So I heard you like drops?
Having run a full MF maxed IAS leap slam melee (not far off your MF stats) in the 1 month race, I have a pretty good idea what it's like to deal with trying to stack MF.
It's super effective, the only problem is it's nowhere near the survivability you're going to get with a minion/totem/ranged build. I think this is where there's a big separation between HC and SC views, many of us also stack MF in HC, but survivability has to be acceptable, of course. I have absolutely no doubt melee MF kicks ass in SC, but it's very very dodgy in HC. |

Runnin a mf cycloner with 465iir/105iiq for maps and 435iir/135iiq for piety runs (mf with gems and flask), will even have more mf in default league.

Its alot of fun, can solo maps much faster and saver then any other mf char i have tried so far which equals to much more rares+uniques per hour then any sporker. sporker is for mainstream party fanboys. U will get much less drops in a party and takes ages to solo maps...totally overrated. It is the most boring thing you can do in this game. Last edited by busybee7#5617 on Sep 17, 2013, 1:56:07 AM

I like dual totems but I prefer them with Ice Spear / Ice Nova. Too bad that Spark does much more DPS than them both.

I don't in any way think sporkers are the only way to MF. I know on my FP shadow in anarchy I got 100/300 easily, and with very good GMP DPS still. So I'd clear docks really fast and ultimately it was pretty effective (chaos and certain enemies would destroy me, so I just had to plan ahead for the zone or map).
I have no doubt that you could do it on melee too, probably no different once you get the necessary amount of currency to do it (which is a lot, as you can see in an earlier post). What I will say is that I'm too afraid to do it. Id still be too afraid with a witch too probably. My 72 mara has some beastly armor and 3.7k life with one of my gold amulets I sometimes use on docks. I actually got a helm with 869 armor, which is rare as shit in the league I'm in. But either way, at docks for example, if I get swarmed by the ice shot archers and those stupid maul/oar melee enemies, I can take some ridiculous burst damage (for some reason my PC gets drops in FPS there too, even though it's a pretty nice, self-built PC.. maybe my AMD card). So between the FPS drops occasionally and the burst damage, I'm still worried. Anyway, thus I'm afraid to do it. Although if I bought just one andvar I don't think I could resist lol. I've just been avoiding it because I also get hooked on MF once I start. Id really like to try a high IIQ build one day, for sure. IIQ has always seemed awesome to me anytime i stacked it high. I will admit I've gone to Fellshrine lately with 50/90 :) Current IGN: TheBearerOfLight Gizoogle Chris: "Da State of Exile muthafuckas axed mah crazy ass ta post a reminder dat they podcast is dis weekend, as usual.

No, Mr. Palpatine. thank you. You may post whatever uniques you like, but I'd never join your sporkers side.
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues.

What's your build?
I was thinking about making a Ground Slam/Avatar of Fire build but wasn't really sure it was viable. Nothing to see here.

I always hated the magic find stat in arpgs.

Lol. I get more drops from dominus with less IIR/IIQ. You should really do dominus.
128/295, if you count it there's 30+ rares there.
