So I've killed inferno diablo and have had him dead on 3 different classes for about 2 weeks now (Monk/Barb/DH...was working on him on my WD pre 1.03 but now not got the drive to log onto that character).
Now having 'finished' the game on softcore and having no interests in going to play HC (Australian player here...300+ ping = no point even trying). So now I'm wanting to MF a load and improve my gear and have a few options open to me and am wanting some feed back.
First off I'll say what I have available to me to use for farming:
A DH with 82k (with sharpshooter) DPS glass cannon and 195 ish MF before NV stacks (250-260 with). I can easily clear act 1 and 2 farming but act 3 gives me issues due to the afore mentioned latency issues and ranged attacks killing me when I'm clear of them...rubber banding is evil.I clear act 1 farm route in about 30-45 mins hitting all of the known spots and adding in an extra one or two if I'm feeling lucky. Same run on the monk or barb as a DPS build all takes longer with less MF/rare drops)
A tank barb that can face tank most things in the game. No MF gear (refuse to gear swap) and lowish DPS (15k). I can clear all of act 3/4 given enough time...but it's not very efficient.
My lovely monk. No MF gear to speak of (the DH gear is pure dex with MF and the bits that have resist are not poison..yeah bad planning on my behalf). DPS is roughly 25k. Can clear most stuff in act 3/4 (just tested out my gear on inferno diablo and one shot him after not playing the monk for 1 or so weeks).
So the real question is...should I just stick in act 1 on the DH and farm like I am currently or do act 3 on the monk? What are peoples thoughts on how farming goes in the new patch in act 3 if you can clear it in a reasonable time vs speed clearing act 1 with lower drop rates of the good stuff?
Your thoughts and opinions are greatly appreciated as I'm at a bit of a confused situation.

Well even with the patch the higher the act the higher chance you have at getting ilvl63 items... I believe Act 1 is a 2% chance and Act 3 is a 8% chance. If i'm correct and you can do act 3 with your monk effieciently then i'd suggest that.
