mf determines, to put it simply, how many uniques you get per hour of gameplay.

if u have 250 more mf than dmg build u get like 4-5 more uniques off of the same # of monster kills, but are so much slower that the dmg build kills enough more mobs that u actually get more unique drops.

ur going slower and finding less.


Understood in what you're saying. What I'm getting at is that at even at 50% slower killing speed which would probably be somewhat close it's 100 runs at 200mf or 50 at 400mf. Technically is a wash but on the 400 mf side I have higher chances of success on horkinh as well as a 150 mf more as well as life tap and more damage reduction and cb and resists which leaves more inventory room if using g face instead of arreats. This is correct of the situation is it not?

this is a hard fact of d2, whatever MF u can get off of weapons is wasted by the lost killspeed of not using grief.

hard fact #2, the best offhand for grief is grief.

step 1, equip grief phase blade
step 2, equip another grief phase blade
step 3, kill monsters

grief is so much better in fact that even a 100% perf rare roll on an eth rep legendary mallet, the type of weapon that would cost like 1 million FG or more, is just comparable to a mid roll grief.


wrong! grief beast is best pvp and pvm. people go with phase blades because they don't want to repair. this guy is wanting to mf not speed run there are a lot of viable options other than grief. what i don't like about the build is that it looks like it won't have enough attack speed. id use skulders put an ias jewel in it and 1 in your shako, but no tele would make baal and meph suck though.

This game is over 20 years old, if the build you listed was optimal
/ effective in any capacity, you would see people using said gear.

There’s a reason you don’t.

incorrect. 200 or 250 mf compared to 400 mf produces very little difference in drops. its not 2x better drops, but is for sure 2x slower kills.

thus what i said rings true.

I suppose I will have to test the character offline and see how it does.

No, I’m not.

You’re conflating usable with effective.

You are using a more expensive build to achieve significantly lower results


This build is trash.

I'll test and see what the kill speed is like I don't actually think it will be half of what a grief setup would. Plus it's something different and also not trash I've used far worse builds with success on finding items. Your comments however I would probably rank trash as you provided almost zero actual information. However I'll give you some credit you did manage to say grief a few times and make numerous remarks on other builds and topic points irrelevant to this convo so can't say you are a complete waste.
