I'm approaching lvl60 with about 60million to spend on gear. Do you think it makes sense to load up on the best MF gear I can afford and farm ACTII in hopes of finding gear for ACTIII and IV or getting gear that's suitable for completing the game and then come back to farm until I can afford the best MF for ACTIII? Did I make sense? LOL
In any case, I'm waiting for 1.04 before I buy anything.
Just wait and figure out how the patch affects everything. These new Paragon levels are going to affect the value of MF gear, and the new legendaries are VERY strong - sometimes the gauranteed rolls are stronger than current >50 mill rares. If legendary drop rates remain the same then it is going to be incredibly easy to get strong gear.
For 5 mil you can easily put together a good 350%+ mf set to farm act II (depends on your class of course, on a barb you may spend all 60mil since barb mf gear is stupidly expensive, wiz or WD u might only need to spend a couple mil since intel gear is cheap) and save the rest for big time upgrades. My monk's MF set cost about 6mil, and I do not gear swap at all. DH cost about 3 mil, no swap.
How the heck did you get 60 million gold before level 60? ): I never got more than 600k.
I sold the gear I had on all my other players to focus on the Barbarian. That and some very, very lucky drops --- like an amulet I thought was worth 40k and sold for 10 million!
After completing A3 i sold off all my gear and started focusing on MF gear. Right now I'm farming A2 with 267 MF, 291 with follower without stacks. My gear including follower cost about 100 mil and I still need some upgrades before I can farm A3, estimating 150-200 mil will be the final cost. MF gear isn't cheap but you can buy a few solid pieces and mix them with lesser pieces while you farm for more gold to pay for further upgrades. What I did was search perfect or near perfect MF and super high primary stats vit/str to boost my dps/life to substitute for the lack of AR allowing me to farm while I'm upgrading. Still working on it but getting closer, resist are actually at 430+ which doesn't show in my profile.
