New patch with Monster Damage nerf, will you dual wield?

[ajc82388]

Since monster power 3 is the equivalent of act3 inferno right NOW, will you change your frenzy barbs with sword and board to dual wield frenzy for more dps against monster power1 act1-3? Also because monster damage is nerfed 25%.

Or will you leave it the same and still farm a3 on monster power1? (kinda pointless)

I plan to test it out, see what's more efficient.

im thinking we may be able to run on MP1 now, but instead of using nerves of steel + the other armor passive, we can run ruthless + nerves of steel + weapons master. And also dual wield 800+ Loh weaps.
Would be ballllllin to do faster runs.

MP1 is a JOKE. On my wiz I got rid of all defensive skills and could faceroll MP1, so as a barb I'm sure you will be fine

MP6+ however is where it gets tricky

aren't drop rates the same no matter what, after mp1?

Drop rates are the same in any MP, but each MP level grants 25% MF/GF and 15% Bonus Exp.

This doesn't effect the amount of rares you receive, but it will marginally better the rolls on the items, and the number of affixes.

nice info you have there. BTW what MP level equal to what it is now ?

if you have a high paragon level, then you shouldnt even need to go above mp1 right?

 

[stormwarr1]

IIRC MP1 in A1 is the same as A3 is right now. Any MP above 1 will only boost your MF.

AFAIK each MP level adds mf/gf above the maximum of 375. So at level 100 paragon with 5 NV and MP10 you could have 375+250 = 625 . Imagine the rare items rolls that could drop from that MF.

Trinity plugin. Look in the "Giles Plugins" sub-forums, within the Plugins forums.

So you are saying each MP level adds 25 to MF? Would you mind providing a link to the source of this information?
