Diablo® III

So, I dont know if you guys have seen yet, but the new Sun Keeper in 1.04 is going to have,
wait for it....

41-45% MF, thats right, a wopping 41-45% MF weapon that every class can use, except ofc, Demon Hunters.

Thats not the only thing, the weapon will be item lvl 63, and will have the possibility to roll great stats and have 1000+ dps, in short, a very amazing MUST-HAVE weapon for every class that farms with MF as far as I see it now.

I've been going through all lists that are known right now that concern new legendaries, and there isnt a single bow out there that will have MF.

I'm usually not one to complain, since Ive been farming just fine with my 280 MF Demon Hunter, yet it seems very very unfair that 1 class will NOT have the option that every other class will have, and lets be honest, 41-45% is a !@#$LOAD of MF, so we will have disadvantage in gathering and farming with MF gear.

I doubt any Blue will read this, but if they do, please explain why there is NO bow with MF yet, seems highly unlogical and unfair.

Quivers can roll MF.

Quivers can roll MF.

And that made sense how? Quivers can max roll 18 MF, shields 20.

And Sun Keeper is a 1hander

You can play some gay tankbuild with Sunkeeper if you really care so much about 40 mf

Valid point tbh, every other class can use melee weapons without nerfing themselves into the ground.

Anyway, that wd wep had it before already so dunno. Still it's something they should add.

Wait and see how the MF changes works out. Chances are they'll cap it at 200 or 250 MF, making it hilariously easy to reach, even without weapons, and let the rest of it be gained through the new levelling system.

Turns out you were right. Please tell me who's gonna win the Superbowl this year :)

all hail Draco the prohpet

Yeah, nice prediction ;)

Still sad though, I've invested tons of gold in my MF gear with good stats.

Probably will drop 50% in value in 1.04 -.-

MF will be capped, so no need for 450% MF gear

It was the only obvious choise, but I aimed a little off :p. With Paragon levels they were able to increase it to 300, and still make it quite easily "reachable". None of the other discussed mechanics were easily implemented, nor were they "good".

Cynn, it won't drop nearly as much as you think - now that there's a "cap" to reach at a relatively low MF level, people will start to gear for it rather than go without magic find, as they've done up till now. Having a stat that does not have a cap, and gives a benefit you cannot measure, makes it seem like it has no visible effect - having a cap on it, on the other hand, will give everyone an incentive to hit that cap, because all of a sudden, it seems like if you have the 225% (or 300% if Neph stacks provides MF after the 300% cap) MF, you will be more "effective" - you have maxed out your magic find potential.
It's odd, but it's how human brains work - a capped stat among all these uncapable's are far more attractive than another uncappable stat.

Besides that, after getting the first third of the Paragon levels, it'll start to go much, much slower than before. Most people will still need over half of their magic find from gear, and will slowly exchange it for pure damage stats.

Wierd, so one moment they are buffing items to uber MF, then next they are annoucning the end of MF as a stat to be phased out and capped at 300% and to be replaced by some ultra slow levelling system.

I wish these fools would make their mind up.

BTW - A DH can use any weapon, just if it isnt a bow - the DH is limited to granades and other non-bow skils.

Can't use every weapon ^^, just about every non class specific 1h-er. And grenades suck, even blizz thinks so.

Anyway I don't know what to think about the mf change, it's pretty obvious they just want to make both sides of the camp happy (after previous nerfs turned into a huge fiasco they realized somethings wrong with the current state of the game).

Are they going to remove mf on items, or the cap on mf, sometime in the future? Really off to walk around with mf gear (that just happens to be on the best gear that you can get your hands on) that does nothing.

And yes, lol @ items like goldskin (wow HUGE AMAZING HUNDREDTHTHTH GF wowow :p).

^^^ I take it the stupidty of the new high MF (and otherwise useless stat) items is lost on people?

You might want to read this to understand what happening to magic find and more to the point - for all you poor sods with an uber 300% or more MF @0NV NEEEERRRRRRFFFFFF!

Yes- seem like they are going to cap initiall;y then phase it out entirely eventually.

(I have gear in stash for my DH to get to just under 420% MF - so yet another ******* gear nerf, thankfully was a cheapo low level mf kit but still).

who cares. only better that MF is bound to your char's level and not to gear. I cannot give a rat's !@# about that nerf, and yes I have around 70-80M invested in MF gear set which I now have to swap each time to, which is UTTERLY ANNOYING. I would give you that gold if I wouldnt have to swap anymore so its a very welcome change.

Stop crying :P

And your gear is not useless, you will need to kill MORE THAN 1.300.000 elites to reach level 100. How long do you think that's going to take you? LOL

And how do you know this? It depends on what elites, what difficulty and how many stacks of NV you have (stacks give exp boost)... u fail for just lying and knowing !@#$.

its not 1.3million elites its like 1.5million trash kills which with 700 hours played i only got 330k so yea its going to take a really long time for 1-100, i already got 295 before stacks so ill be mf capped soon as i hit lvl2 then every 7 lvls after that i can buy pure dps/survbility gear so i welcome this change, i even spent 250m+ on my mf set and im not to worried about its value due to me buying it alot cheaper than its worth and the lvling to make it completely useless will take a very long time i prob wont even be playing that long lol
