Just curious to what most people are doing when farming. I know that alot of you probably TR mp 0-2 but if not doing that then what? Since hitting 100 I've been trying different mp's to try and find my balance.
Currently I'm doing Act 3 mp4 runs. At this monster power I'm still able to just tele stomp through all trash and most elite packs take under 10 seconds. If it happens to be a reflect minions pack i can still kill them all inside serenity. I also don't have to use my resist helm and can use my pickup and spirit regen helm (pickup is very handy for farming). Slightly more MF than mp 1 or 2 and more engaging.
The route I take is similar to an Alk run. Core>> Tower (if i dont have full NV by then ill quickly skim keeps 3)>> Stonefort >> Keeps 1 >> tp to rakkis and clear down to and all of fields. Runs normally take around 20-25 min.
The build I use is

I’ve been doing mp4 for speed with a non-TR spec similar to yours (except I get blazing wrath instead of 100fists, since that 5seconds goes away so fast), but hoping to move up to mp5 once gear improves a bit. If you’re going for items instead of exp there are a few other areas that are worth doing, like icefall caverns and stonefort battlements (if you go left instead of up the stairs). Arreat 2 is still pretty good if you don’t go down the dead-end routes. I generally cap it off with a KW run since there are generally 3+ elites up there, but you may not care since you’re already p100.
