Nephalem valor claims to add 15% MF and stack to 5, i.e. a total of 7%5 MF at 5 stacks. However, with some experimentation you can clearly see that is has a greater effect, because with 5 stacks of valor most bosses will drop 2+ rares, while with 75% MF from gear and no stacks of valor you will generally only get blues.
Does anybody have any theory or explanation for this?
Being 60 only reinforce what i thought:
Nephalem Valor needs to be much lower. It wouldve been amazed to be able to gear up in NM for Hell if i had that buff.

You can. I don't remember exactly which quest, but I think it's end of act 3 that you start on. Someone made a video tutorial on how to get a ton of xp this way. Anyway, by the time you progress to Iskatu, you just racked up a TON of xp for just doing dialogue quest turn-ins. This xp gain is high enough you can get to level 60 in nightmare efficiently. Also, the second quest in act4, you fight the Aspect of Terror and another random boss. Each of these bosses drop level 59 gear! It's higher level gear than Act1 hell! So basically doing end of Act 3 through the first 2 bosses of the second quest of Act 4 should yield a pile of gear and xp. This will also get you geared up for Hell mode.
I fear the NV buff is going to get hosed/nerfed in some way. When I do SK runs with 5 stacks, he drops 2-3 yellow and 5-6 blues. That's freakin crazy! I think the SK quest is a good run because there's damn near always enough champions to get you to 5 stacks by the time you get to him. It's also a pretty fast run. I say, ABUSE IT WHILE YOU GOT IT! Maybe I've been playing Blizzard games too long, but it seems like they never let good things stay around for long. Stuff always gets nerfed into oblivion and RUINS EVERYTHING OMG! lol

Can "abusing" something eveer be a "good thing"?

I forgot this was a morality contest.
Just think of it as a reward for playing from launch. We get all the exploits to gear up compared to people who start later.
Act like you're not using it..
All I can say is: Well executed, Blizzard. It does exactly, what it is designed for.
THIS.
A really good idea !
Yeah, much better than just boss runs. Yet still you farm one place all over it just takes longer
Indeed.
The thing I do when I reach 5 stacks is that I must explore all the areas I find myself in and try to hunt down those pesky Pigmy Treasure Hunters. I've gotten my 830DPS bow from one of them just prior the skeleton king area.
