MP0, 1, or 2? Is it worth it, or is speed on MP0 the best?

This is for Act 3.

It all completely depends on how much you're willing to invest into gear. As of right now, running higher MP levels is extremely valuable with the new increase in XP per MP Level. If you're starting a new character, running higher MP levels is beneficial. The sooner you get to Para 100, the better.

Spent about 60-80 mil on my last wave of bots (each) with the intent to run them in MP1 but their gph actually drops in MP1 while IPH and XPH stay about the same. I figure it'll get worse at plvl 100 though when the faster mob killing translates into even more gold.

In short, anything higher than MP0 is a waste in my experience.

i bot on mp3, with a 175k dps barbarian, i could do mp4-5 but im at 35k hp which is low, so im running mp3 to go smoother, i die few times coz of some wierd behavior that includes in the middle of a fight the char just stop and stand for few seconds... or when i try to use a portal and there is a range mob far from the bot sight, but the new xp is very good

Mp3.
Playing mp5-7 manually, depending on my mood.
Can solo mp9 but it takes time.

Mp1 or MP2 seem to be the best on my barbs, but MP0 on my WD and Wiz. Insta exploding mobs are great for building up perma archon!

I think most classes are going to do the absolute best on MP0 unless they have so much gear that they are just overkilling stuff to the point that a higher MP wouldn't even be noticeable for speed. Someone did the math a long time ago, and if a higher MP adds even a few seconds here or there for a second hit on a mob you woul have 1 hit on MP0, you end up losing efficiency.

Barbs are only different because of rage generation. The more rage generation you have, the longer you can keep up WotB and sprint. Since you are already doing WW AOE to kill things, it actually will speed you up if you are two hitting some things rather than just 1 hitting it all.

Moldran and other top streamers only farm at a max of MP2 for a reason.

You're kidding yourself if you think MP4+ is more efficient.

what about @ pl100 , ive been running mp0 since pl1-pl100 + hundreds of hours lol

I run mp1 by default. It's not any slower than mp0 for my characters atleast.

I run all of mine on MP0. I set all of my budgets at 20m per Barbarian. It runs mp0 completely efficient without issues. They typically can run at MP1 (if I want them to), but no where near as efficient as MP0. More mobs per hour = more items per hour . I used to run bots at MP2, but i felt it was a waste of my time.

After the next ban wave, I might toy around with it and see where it gets.

Cant ever remember when was the last time i played manually. Bot plays much better than me hahaha

 

[ThitChoLover]

if u can kill mp3 as fast as u can mp0 then do mp3

 

[Nam3]

If your bot can kill mp3+ as fast as you can kill mp0, sell your items and make a cheaper bot.

Typically I do MP0 24/7, but today I decided to switch over to MP2 with my barb. So far I'm gettin 75k less gold and 1 mil less xp, but I've found 4 legs in the past hour..I'm not going back.

Check your log 12 hours from now. Most likely it will even out.

That's like saying I found $1k on the ground today, time to quit my day job cause finding money on the street is more profitable.

mp0-mp2 seems to be the best unless you have a char that has insanely good gear/dps then obviously go higher. I don't think it's worth it though cuz higher mps usually means more deaths even if you have good gear due to the bot having its blonde moments lol.
