I continue running into this problem and I think others might have the same;
I have a DH paragon17 with quite a bunch of MF coming from my gear. However, the gear with MF on it is not as good (not in armor nor in resis nor in dps) as gear without MF. So better gear would mean dropping the MF.
However, to find better gear or to make enough money to buy better gear you need the MF... IT's a bit of dilemma I can't really solve.
What would you do? Mf but less dps, resis and vit or would you try to max your gear and wait for the MF to come with the paragon lvls?
Well i think this all comes down to personal preference. My self i dont look for mf on my gear at all, i try to max my dmg to make the higher MP levels quicker to run. I cant go and spout that i have a high mf in higher MP levels but i believe is around 25% per monster power level. so if you can run mp 3 now and have 100 MF you got 175%. if the gear you swap into allows you to run MP 7 You wouldnt have lost any of the MF, but your also not gaining any. But you can also receive the xp bonus and such.
Drop all your MF gear and stack as high DPS/EHP as you possibly can --> Farm in a MP level that's suitable for you (fastest run time and EXP per hour vs. least deaths) --> Farm and gain paragon levels --> Farm and gain MF/GF stats and primary stats --> Farm faster because of higher stats --> Loot more because of higher stats --> Sell loot for more gold --> Gear up because of more gold --> Farm faster because of better gear --> Gain more paragon levels --> Farm and gain stats even faster --> Farm even faster because of even higher stats --> Loot even faster because of higher stats --> Sell even better loot for even more gold --> Gear up because of so much gold --> Farm so fast because of so much great gear --> Gain even more paragon levels --> Farm and gain stats even faster than before --> Wow, more gold and loot! --> Buy more gear! --> Godly now, farm more and even faster! --> More paragon levels and stats! --> Repeat indefinitely until you quit the game.
Jaetch, thank you for the details of just about every rpg type of game out there
@ op. what everyone said... kill > more drops. you're guarenteed drops with 5nv anyways, plus with mp levels, its all good. I dont run much MF (just whatever happens to roll on that piece), and i find a legendary a game, on average (i usually pub seigebreaker, or mp3 xp runs..
What Jaetch says.
I immediately went damage+defense when Paragon leveling began and it wasn't long before I got to 200% mf and started to get multiple legendaries per day. Speed is everything.
You want to be careful throwing MF out the window... in the long run, Paragon levels will compensate for your loss of MF on equipment, but the MF bonus from MP STACKS on top of your 300% cap. The more MF you bring to the table, the better your loot will be. You won't get more ilvl equipment (which doesnt matter at mp1+), you won't get higher numbers on your equipment, but MF DOES affect the # of affixes you get on an item, which is very important.
My advice would be to only drop MF from equipment when you can make a really significant upgrade, and only slowly as you progress through paragon levels. Many people will advocate progressing quickly through paragon levels, but once you get into the paragon grind, you'll find that it can take lots of hours to make up for losing 30% MF on an amulet or something. Personally, I try to shoot for 260+ before stacks and I try not to stray too far below that. I find that the closer I get to 350 the better my drops are.
Correct me if I'm wrong.. but, P100 also means you don't need MF on any gear.. Only "MF" that works is from mp levels.. IE; P100 mp10 = best of best
That's right. I would guess the vast majority of players are in the 30-60 range tho. I think somewhere around level 75 is the halfway mark from an experience required perspective. Things slow down pretty drastically imo after 30-40.

And indeed, I totally forgot about the mf bonus with higher mp!

Anyways, I'll stop gearing with mf then. And try to lvl like a boss! ^^
