What would be the best build to do Astro reliably/efficiently? I've done most other ubers so this is really one of those that I want to finish.

I did a little searching and didn't exactly find what I was looking for. Does anyone know exactly how much loot is increased in SP and if that also applies if you're player TCP/IP, or exclusively SP?
Essentially asking because interested in doing a fast playthrough with a friend with the increased loot, and curious how it applies/functions.

Single Player is a little of an inexact term. "Single Player only" features actually refer to "outside of realm", which includes single player, tcp/ip and open battle.net. So yes, single player drop rates apply to tcp/ip games.

Awesome, thanks. Do you know the exact rate increase?

Sounds like my problem. Download latest patch and that should allow you to complete BRC.

Okay, so maybe a caster druid or sorc would be good to use. I have been playing with: javazon, fortressbarb, deathgaze barb, summoner barb, harbinger wolf, treewarden, summoner nec, holy melee pally.

So no casters so far. Good mention, because now that I see the list of playstyles I see I should develop experience with a caster. By the way, I've been farming for a while now so I probably have a decent amount of gear to make one off the bat. I can respec my harbinger wolf druid or raise a sorc.

Also, I have almost every set complete except for the community set, laz, and caoi dulra and the one with avalanche. And then there is one set that I haven't found any piece from yet so far.

I'll look into the caster druids but if you or anyone else knows a good caster boss killer setup I am willing to try it for the experience.
