I'm new here... I have a critical mass wizard that, despite the low dps, is going very nice on inferno (clear all solo).
But now I want to focus on finding items. Do you think it's viable? Or should I keep using my normal gear, with almost none mf (125% mf on nephalem 5, paragon level 9)?
I'm asking this beacause just now I can solo the whole Inferno, so all the items I found until this moment are crap, because I didn't farm properly yet. I'm planning to focus on finding items now (and consequently rise my paragon level).
Should I try to buy a new equipment or keep mine and play more?
I'd say it depends on which act you plan on farming and how much you care about paragon leveling. Leveling will be faster with your best gear. I'm a CM wizard, and I've invested in an MF set that allows me to quickly and safely farm act 2 with 250 MF, but for the best experience rate, I always go back to my main gear set and go to act 3.

IMHO, the only acts worth farming are 3 and 4, because of the items' level. Am I right? Did you loot anything really interesting on act 2 (legendaries, 30kk items, etc.)?
Thanks for the fast reply!
i have that wizard with mf and crit mass and i clean act 3 & 4, but i have low dps
How much dps do you have? I have a bit more than 30 dps (low), but I think it's enough for this build, since it freezes and explodes everything in the screen (and it doesn't take long).
Do you get many "top class" items with your mf gear on acts 3 and 4?
Thanks for the quick answer!

ponies are really good too.
i'm farming there, getting loads of 63s and 4 legendaries in 2 days.

It really depends on your speed of farming. I can run super quickly through a VotA run with top MF and get tons of good items, I can do A3 with the same mf gear but much slower. I do not ever need to kill normal monsters in act 2, they just tickle me, but in act 3, I need to. If you can speedily farm elites on act 3 with full MF, you should.
I've gotten plenty of good ilvl 63 and such items from act 2, including this little gem I found this week:

20k dps, but i play only with teams (when i play solo, i use my dh), well, i farm basically in last quest from act 3 (heart of sin) and i got around 50~60 yellow items, but 90% its a crap (or more)

Nice gear, SolusCoda!
I opened pony level yesterday, but didn't get anything intereresting yet... I think I should get 5 stacks before go there...
If you want to team on pony level, PM me with your battle tag!
80% of the items are bought off the AH, the orb was the most expensive at 135m.
The point being I found enough gear I didn't want, to sell and buy things I did want. Without the MF on my items I doubt I would have found the same level of gear that I have been selling. For example, in one day I found both, Litany of the undaunted and wailing host with good rolls. 60 and 70m respectively. That bought me my Zunnimassa gear.

nice, you should definetly get some zuni boots to go with the rest!

yeah I thought about it, but then I wasn't entirely sold on the 3rd zunni bonus of 55 all res. it would take my res from 79 - 80% reduction. so 1%, which you'd hardly notice, maybe an extra 40 intel since zunni boots are around 190 int typically.
But i'd lose the MF.
Saving for a new wand, hopefully get something similar to what i have now but with 900dps and some INT instead of dex
I have always farmed wth MF. Since the patch hit I have gotten around 15-20 legendaries, with like 4 really good (yeah, you get fostburns too) ones.
I almost always farm in teams for sinergies and buffs to kill act 3 really fast and having fun chatting with some friends from R/L and some more that I've made since the patch hit, now that my MF is mine I got no qualms always contributing to the team with perma frozen and some nice bit of DPS with shardnado. But I do really well alone with my 8.5k DPS Enchantress with Grand Vizier for a nice boost to the MF and have trouble with just a tiny number of bad affix/mob combinations.
TL;DR yeah farming with mad MF is totally worth it.

Hello, folks!
I tried pony level starting with 5 stacks already, but the results were the same. I get better items farming act 3. Of course, I can't say this with certanty, since the items are randomly generated, but it seems I didn't get any better results on pony level...
Now I'm inclined to believe that mf makes THE difference. But, unfortunelly, I can't afford 50mil+ items.
Phrensta and InfinityX, how did you get gold to buy these expensive items before you have a high mf % gear? I'm asking this because I tried to farm gold and even if I get 2 million per day, it would take me an eternity... lol
In fact, the main reason why people want high MF is to farm items and, consequently, sell them for gold/money.

Well, I started to focus on mf early on, on piece by piece base. Unless you want to spend real money on it it is a little by little work. Most people are dropping mf pieces right now at good prices because all the rage (and money) is on legendaries. I would start buying one piece every 3-4 days and little by little your loot will improve and you'll get your money back faster on each mf piece you add.
You can always start with a cheap switch set for dealing killing blows to elites and start improving little by little, white mobs have a nice chance to drop yellows and legendaries and I've gotten a couple of legendaries so a real mf set is worth the hard work.
