Just toss it out here: I did the Key Warden in Act1 8 times without the key dropping once.
Inferno monster level 6
So I don't expect the drop chance of the key to be anywhere close to even 40%

I dont get their problem with the CM Wizard build. They say they needed to nerf it because of the new legendary procs. Please tell me which legendary proc is so powerful that it would be a gamechanger? None of it deals that high damage, maximus is nice, but everyone uses that on the follower, because the weapon is not that great. I dont think this reason can justify nerfing a very fun build. I played all classes, my main is not a wizard, but it would be great to see different characters in my party doing different things (i feel boring to play with 4 of the same class, even the same build). If wizards loose the CM/SC build and they probably loose the infinite archon build because on higher monster powers u cant keep archon up) than noone will farm with wizard...

Im not getting it right, is mf affecting the affixes roll?
what should the mlvl improve on drops? I just cant see a good point on it, more mf means more rares, more rares means more time lost identifying trash as the affixes are just bad ...

The Realm of Chaos - Ghom and Raknoth.
This one, by far, seems like the most difficult.
Monster Power is considered "on" once you bump it up to Monster Power 1, at which point all monsters in Inferno become level 63. "No Monster Power" means that the system is technically "off," so monster levels will remain the same and you won't get any of the scaling XP/GF/MF boosts.

So, we still don't have this sorted out - if you set the monster level to max , you can only have more MF ,meaning you use more MF gear ,MF shrine stacks after 375,400 or whatever is max MF atm, BUT you don't actually get more and better loot if monster level is set to max. Hmm ,so elites are 10 times harder to kill but don't reward better loot ? Well they do, if you have 100000000 MF + the enough kick to go through them. Interesting.
If I'm wrong ,correct me please. I'm also interested in how exactly it will work .Thanks

and in return players will receive scaling bonuses to experience (for heroes levels 1-60)
This is either a typo or they changed their minds about level 60 players getting xp for ML

amazing patch to be honest,
they really touched everything that I found annoying/broken.
only thing I dislike is :
"..in return they’ll receive scaling bonuses to experience (for heroes levels 1-59)".
but cannot complain really.
It does say "as well as" after that so it's a bit ambiguous. Not providing any exp incentive for Monster Power after having just added the Paragon incentive would be extremely short sighted.
Not really. Better loot is more than enough incentive (especially since loot is quickly irrelevant as you level in this game but means everything at 60). With the XP shrines, possible gear bonuses to XP, and the NV buff, I think Blizzard wants to cap how fast people can make it to 100. They really want it to take a while. Besides, better loot = improved combat efficiency which means killing faster thus faster XP anyway. Just not as dramatic as the sub-60 improvements.

When it comes to the NV stacks and skill swapping I see no problem with the way it is. If a champ pack gives you problems it isn't because of your skills it's because of your gear, plain and simple.
Wrong. Try playing a wizard against a fast jailer vortex frozen spider pack. Now try it with all skills available. Having the ability to switch to have a ton of escape abilities completely changes the game.
No longer do you have to make strategic choices in your build and create a balanced set of skills, just keep changing them until it works.
Should I remind you, PLAYERS asked for build permanence. PLAYERS were playing with the skill window open. Do you want to go back to playing with the skill window open?

You sure are oddly fixated on Haedrig's wife
I meant equivalent for Act 3, Act 1 is different on account of the difficulty leap from Monster Power. 1.0.4 Act 3 should be about the same as 1.0.5 Act 3 MP2. And Act 1 MP2 is also about the same as Act 3 MP2.

Yes, slightly, and you get the first level of MF/GF/Exp boost. Also, technically in base Act 3 there are both 62 and 63 monsters, so setting MP1 will make them all 63.
Note that MP0 in 1.0.5 will be considerably easier than 1.0.4. They've said that MP2 is roughly equivalent to before.

"Items below iLevel 58 no longer drop in Inferno difficulty."
Blizzard might have trouble speaking clearly sometimes but I think this one is pretty on the nose.

Or just because you want to. You do have to get one key from each of Acts 1-3 for the Infernal Machine though, which you'll want to keep repeating for new Hellfire Ring rolls.

(looking at your build, you have zero defensive skills! that just ain't gonna work)

Did you have full NV? I've heard it helps(or maybe just that MF helps) but take that with a grain of salt.

Having a skill with a broken proc coefficient is just too good at too many things. Crazy survivability with life on hit, crazy legendary procs, crazy triggering of skills like Critical Mass and Into the Fray, etc. It just breaks the intent of that game system and kills build variety like we've seen with Barbs. Like they said, once they introduced the higher levels of Monster Power it became clear how insane an advantage it is to get so many of those procs.
If your build doesn't work at MP10 that really isn't a big deal, just don't farm it. They're very specifically designing it so that you never have to touch it if you don't want to and you can still farm all the best loot.

There are various rumors about how Monster Power affects things - it makes keys drop more often, it makes ring mats drop more often, etc... Nothing confirmed though as far as I know.
http://us.battle.net...ment#magic-find
MF improves the chance of any given magic drop being a legendary, or a 6 affix rare, or a 5 affix rare, etc. So the items you find will be of a higher quality overall.
Each stack of monster power doesn't make a huge difference, but activating Monster Power 1 changes all of Act 1/2's monsters to be Act 3 difficulty. That includes their droprates.

Those guys handled it no problem, but got their butts kicked by Skeleton King + Maghda. Turns out SK does a ton of damage and double tornado isn't such a great build for avoiding attacks.

In others words, the moment you turn on MP, Inferno becomes a constant difficuly across all acts. Act 1 MP1 = Act 4 MP1. Everything is level 63.

If you're looking for an explanation, just go read the Wizard update from 1.0.4.

They said very specifically they don't want higher MP to feel mandatory, which it would if it had an exclusive tier of loot or whatever. It should be the most efficient farming for people who can do it, but not a must for everyone who wants to play the "real" endgame.

It was ambiguous phrasing in the patch notes. You do get exp at 60 in the PTR.

It says "as well as" right there. People who have played it say that you get all three in Inferno.
