i couldnt say exactly how ML works, but there is a 1000% chance it makes a difference to the drops/rolls.
I have been told countless times, it takes years and if ur lucky u will find a 200ee item or w.e, Yes ofc it will take years if you use 0ML and only whistle climb.
in my opinion ML works and is heavily underrated for whatever reason. IT does help you find better gear, see my profile for my personal drops and the ML that was used to get them, along with dates.
I dont play the game anywhere near as much as many here, yet i find good drops. I tend to run around wearing ML gear and 'death farm' majority of all drops was from EPs.
action counters - there is some truth, generally if u are hitting an EP and it dies quick it just means the lvl of the monster is low and you would end up getting low tier drops.
welled monsters - there have been countless cases where a monster will hit you for 1k-2k crits and strong items have dropped. basically the monster has taken the stats of an item they are holding and you have a certain 'time' frame to kill that monster before it loses the item or the item becomes crap.
I once had a monster where i hit for 0 consistently, i was using 235ee dagger too, and no it wasnt sneaky as it was a welled Scale, it was also not the immune or lower dmg monster it was hiermikles or however you spell it. unfortunately i died like 10 times trying to kill it due to hitting it for literally 0 and having to self regen each time. i honestly believed it was going to drop a HUGE ee scale but i received something like 20ee, which means i took too long to kill it, so im convinced there is a 'timer' where every xx seconds the item loses stat value.
it terms of muting my luck has been pretty bad regardless of the ML used. but plenty of people swear by it and have proven to be successful.
that being said, I believe ML works like increasing chance to roll higher stats, higher rarity (more rolls for desired stat)
TLDR
using ML makes a difference to your drops 1000% - run around with ML gear, kill/die/regen
using ML on muting makes a difference?!? probably
using ML on a well makes a difference 1000% - use ML to spawn and finish the monster
ive run round with ML more than a lot and i do agree with most of this for sure, however over time i have come to think that ml works best for wells and playing the game running round death farming doesn't need as much ML as everyone thinks. yes change to it for the EP kills but running round and lowering the kill speed of the rest of the map is silly. yes ware 1 item of ml but no need for 2 unless they have other useful stats.
in a nut shell if i am solo exploring i try to always make sure i have at least 1 ml on items i use for the chance of overspawns, and if i get to a ep wave i use some ml items to kill them finally (i havent had any luck with this but understand they have luck on HC doing it this way), wearing more ML is wasted for the killspeed is lower. but then Brad and Jowly have found a lot of stuff doing it with more ML so they are in a good position to state what and how they do it.
welling is as Ian says (ive been very fortunate with this lately)
i also did maybe 100+ NMNM with 37ml killing all the monsters and found nothing more than skillables. so the dying aspect of the game with drops is something to take consideration about.
my drops are in my profile also last 4 are welling, the 206 focus is death farming with 37ml and the int/mana lvl15 is deathfarming also (this was from a MD map that took 4 hours to complete with 37 ml at all times)
