I think it's the same gear chance if I remember right, though part of me is wanting to say ponies is better. I'd go with ponies just to mix up the scenery for a while if nothing else. Also it just seems like more non-stop lootfest compared to actually running through levels where you've done quests.

The only thing behind that is I still have to go get 5 stacks in act 1.
You're better off farming act 3. Doing pony would be just for fun or to change up scenery. if you have zero Magic Find gear then you're better off farming act 1.

In that gear, with those stats, I've got no MF minus NV stacks.
it might be better then to get a MF set and do act 1 or 2, with the changes coming up though be sure it's not one of those "switch to MF gear at the last second" sets though.
You'll start to notice a good difference after 200% with NV 5 stack. Anything after that is going to be really nice of course but 200% you'll notice it's a good bit more beneficial.

I can get 159% and still have 17k dps and decent stats, I don't want to lose any more stats because of the crap MF gear I have for other slots. That's only 4 items though (shield, boots, bracers, helm).
my stats monks stats are comparable to you, just a bit less but I have 95% base MF. For what its worth, I don't do inferno ponies, it just doesn't seem worth it and the packs can blow pretty hard. Best to farm act 3

Sometimes you don't always know where you stand... until you know that you won't run away.

I'll try to farm act 3 with my 159% MF (with NV). Thanks.
a3 clear = roughly 70 elites = 2.5 hours without mf and 3 hours with mf
pony = 12 min without mf (including nv stacks) and 15 min with mf, average 5 packs of elites
So every 3 hours pony = 60 packs no boss
3 hours a3 = 70 packs, 2 bosses
plus invul + mortar/molten + freeze/vortex + reflect pony (the horses) are real hard... I'd run more A3 (edit: if I have 3 hours to sink, otherwise horses)

I don't full clear act 3.... I do a run someone else suggested on here, maybe 2 goblins, 2 bosses, and a dozen or so rares. Oh and normally a resplendent chest too.

Some great info right there, thanks!
Really helps put it into perspective.

It's pretty nice. I'm envious I can't do ponies yet. What class are you by the way?
Monk, full cleared Inferno including ponies by now. Approx: 36k hp, 7100 armor, 870 AR, 1050 LoH, 28% block, 37.4% dodge, 26k dps.
In that gear, with those stats, I've got no MF minus NV stacks.
How much MF am I aiming for?
