thanks cool p7 it is and i didnt realize the quality boost in dunc vrs elsewhere had been slimed down in 2017 builds that definitly steers me away from dunc combined with farming challanges there.. if the quality drop difference is narrowed for all 2017 builds
.. but ill try 1.2 and build up another farmer for it


You can clear TA on p8 but can´t farm duncraig..?? I would recommend duncraig, when u learn to dodge barrels it´s the best farming place by far.

About mf i´d suggest trying with lower values, anything over 400 seems to have little or even worse effect on drops.. (This is not 100% science just what ive come up with in my tests with high mf)


Like most things in this game, it's random number generated, so unless you made thousands of runs to test it, It'll fall under the category "bad luck".

But you're right. MF has diminishing returns. (If it wasn't changed in Median, the complete chart can be seen here: https://diablo2.diablowiki.net/Magic_Fi ... ercentages ) So jumping from 100 MF to 300 MF brings you nearly twice the amount of Uniques, but the jump from 300 to 500 is only a 22% increase in uniques. That in turn means that if you 300 MF, and can farm 30% faster than if you had your whole gear dedicated to 500 MF, it's more useful to have 300 MF. Killspeed > MF

However, bradr uses a build of which the killspeed isn't affected by how many MF he has. So more MF is better in this case.

No. Players X is a command that simulates the multiplayer number of players and can't be used in multiplayer/online.

You can't one shot such bosses anymore, you could in the past. You want a strong attack/spell you can control easily that does not destroy her totems (which heal her 5%). Hailstorm is pretty nice for that, Mindflay works too.

Does /players X also change the HP of uber bosses like Laz? Azmodan? Astrogha?

Pretty sure it affects every enemy in the game. As for Mindflay, getting started with a UHC is pretty hard now. I feel underpowered with the best gear I can possibly get. (Which is T6 in my case and some honorifics) Damage is a mere 2-2.5k. With charms and heavy energy investment coupled with -100+ lightning resistance it may be better, but for now, Infernal machine took me 1 hour to do. Also, the beam count does not increase every 9 level as skill description says.
