How much MF% should I have if I want to farm Sacred Uniques and sets in places like K3K or Duncraig?

Basically there are two Schools of items farming:
1. Stronger gear > faster lvl clearing (0%-???MF)
2. MF gear > slower lvl clearing (~400%MF)

Some say 1 is better, other prefer 2.

Would there be any benefit to going over 50% physical resistance?

There are enemies in the game which debuff your physical resistance. For example lizard kings cast Spellbind (-25%) and Erinys' curse (-10%). Uncapped physical resist also reduces the damage you receive from crushing blow, which is present on many monsters. I.e. a crushing blow on a player with 50% physical resist deals twice as much damage compared to on a player with 75% physical resist.

Ok, thanks. I guess I'll run with Bear Stance activated until I need to use magic missile from the Oris'. Both require the right side so can't use at the same time.

Anyone know how this is possible? How would you shrine bless a Six Angel bag?



And it's not from upgrading it from the Sunless Crystal Bird because I just upgraded a different one here and it doesn't say "Shrine Blessed".



These are non-ladder if that makes a difference. Would the Shrine Blessed one be some legacy situation or something like that? I did have it before the current season.

You can use magic missiles from left click, you just can't cast spells/ranged with bear stance active.

Ah, you're right, I can use magic missiles with left click, but it's disabled when I enable bear stance on right. Strange.

Without Bear Stance enabled Magic Missiles works


With Bear Stance enabled it's disabled


Perhaps it's to keep you from pushing physical resists too high? Not sure.

Read the Bear Stance skill icon

What are some good ways to absurdly increase my buff/debuff/cold skill duration, other than socketing nih in eveything?

How will the upcoming patch affect a single player character that's already made?

For example, I see original campaign quest rewards will be changed with the new version, so if the quest is already completed but reward hasn't been claimed yet, how might that work?

Thanks!

The quest rewards are stuff you can just farm, so you lose nothing.
