I have a 130k unbuffed ww bard is botting mp3 and dies often in 4, can any of you who are already doing 4-5 give me some advice on gearing?

I only have 2.9 ls and no LOH.
 
I bot on MP1 and havent figured out a reason to bot higher MP than that.
 
I'm noticing that on higher MP I'm getting more items per hour (which doesnt make sense because it should take much longer to kill monsters) and I'm getting less 63 rares per hour (which makes even less sense because if my items per hour is higher and my MF is significantly higher, then the amount of those items being rare should also be high not lower). So on MP1 I'm getting like 600 IPH and 16 63 rares per hour, and on MP3 I'm getting 750 IPH and 10 63 rares per hour.

Is anyone else seeing the phenomenon???
 
My assumption is that trash mobs are dropping more items at higher MP, but those items tend to be lower iLvl. So you may be getting more items, but more of them are junk also. (Exclude Legendaries from this hypothesis)

And you are seeing less i63 because more of those come from Elites which you kill less of at higher MP.

In conclusion, my hypothetical assumption is... Trash mobs dropping more trash items at higher MP, but less Elites dropping less high iLvl items due to slower kill speed and lower encounter rate.
Whereas on MP1 you kill way more elites, seeing higher drops of iLV63 items... but are getting less item drops from the trash monsters so your IPH reflects that.
 
u have to find which mp gives u the most items per hour.. every character is different. since they have different survivability/dps. for me mp3 gives me the best results.
 
try to build for crit chance/dmg.

I have no prob with 60 crit chance with scoundrel follower, 500 crt dmg; i use 11 loh and ww build, but with blood funnel rune. thats 2 LS on crits which helps a lot. Try it, u will have np at all on higher lvls.
