Hello all,

So this is my barb: http://eu.battle.net...65/hero/7827085

I am currently farming in mp1 for xp, but noticed a decrease in qaulity loot wise from mp3, but lvleling sure goes faster. At plvl52 its becoming a tad boring so was wondering if getting cains set is a good idea. But since that set takes away 4 good items maybe leoric signet would be better?

What are your thoughts?

Ty

Leoric signet ftw. Actually i would recommand to anyone reaching level 60 to farm for lacuni and boots (or tyrael's might) to cap movement speed and then go right away farming a leoric signet (or even 2) on mp10 normal. The first is used to level up, the second for sale (20 million). The 20m can then be used to gear up. After, go back to inferno and farm a hellfire ring. This would imo be the best way to farm paragon levels.

For your info, my first signet dropped on the 4th leg drop i got. The second one dropped after like one and half day farming. Tried to farm a third one but its been over 3days farming without the drop. I am not constantly farming that signet, my monk is the one geared for that purpose. All other toons are lvl60 and farming their way up paragon levels.

I use 2 leorics and it works fantastic while leveling.. 4 cains pieces for another 30% xp aint worth it.
My Monk: R.I.P - Thanks for the 1900 euro.
My Barb: R.I.P - Thanks for the 1200 euro.
Flipping/Sniping: Thanks for the 2345 euro and rising.
My Witch Doc: http://eu.battle.net...973/hero/417671 - Acid Rain max exp farm setup avr around 80m xp /hour. 53 yards pickup radius <3

i tried farming it prior to mpers patch, but that was just waste of time tbh. In mp10 at normal is that something really works?

I only farm leorics signet, if I'm watching tv and bored from act 3, but it's not really reliable.

You need 3 pieces from Cain's set for the exp bonus, not 4

Don't forget you can also add a +22 exp relic to your follower to milk all the exp gains you can get.

you can put the 2nd leorics signet on your follower and a hellfire ring as well.  Should result in at least an 11% exp bonus for you.

aha, didnt knew there was a relic with xp bonus, but 22 exp seems hrdaly worth it. hallfire ring and leorics signet is better then mf i think yes, more xp results in more Mf faster anyway

Well considering your follower is really nothing more than a MF/GF/EXP buff bot with crowd control, why not.

Cain's set with radiant star ruby.
Leoric's Signet.
Hellfire Ring.

Leoric's Signet + Hellfire Ring on your follower.

Go to work on MP0-1 with Alkaizer run.

You really need very good other gear if you wear 3 pieces of Cain's Set to run fast and efficient MP0 act3.

I prefer Hellfire Ring + Leorics Signet + Radiant Star Ruby in Helm and a Hellfire Ring for my follower.

I think you can go cain's if you try the mentioned barb skill build in this forum post.
Basically, using charge instead of wotb.

This looks very nice! Yeah keeping WoTB up is quite hard at low MP, beacuse i dont generate as much fury as in higher Mpers. Hellfire ring on follower gives 6% increased xp.

Normally i do:
Core of arreat,
Tower of damned 1,
Tower of the Cursed 1, then portal
Keeps depth 1 & 2
Bridge of Korsik,

Normal difficulty, act 2. People run it in MP10 a thousand times, the droprate is ridiculously low. I got so bored that I rather paid the 20m+ on the AH instead of wasting DAYS of farming for that thing.

Questions about wizard gear? Helpful tools? Common wizard builds? What gear for my follower? And what is a black weapon?

Answers to these and many other questions in the Wizard Gear Guide.

QFT  found one on my second run and have spent weeks looking for another... what a waste of time!
