Contact and Credits -Terms and Lingo Used -Contact Info -Credits ========================== Update Information ========================== Fixed A Few Errors - Sept 18 2005 Addded Extras - Sept 23 2005 Fixed Few Errors - Sept 28 2005 ADDED VIDEO - Oct 1 2005 ========================== Magic Find Basics ========================== Magic finding is a stat found on magical, rare, unique, and set items. It increases your chance of getting good items. It works on treasure chests (any kind) bosses, monsters, and etc. Be aware though, magic find does not increase the chance of getting runes. Magic find is also added onto your merc, so if you have 510 and your merc has 200, when your merc does the final blow, he'll have 710 mf. Despite what people say on battle.net abut having TOO MUCH mf, its just lies. The more the better. I made a open character with 8000+ Mf, and first run on meph dropped ALL uniques. ========================== Equipment ========================== Remember, this faq is written for HAMMERDINS and SORCS, not for other character classes (yet). a) Helmets - Shako- Probably best helmet for mf, 50% mf, 10% dr, +2 to all skills, its a must for any mfer. Grizwolds Valor- Decent helm, with 2 sockets throw in 2 ptopazs for extra 48 mf to the 30% thats already on the helm. ![]() Enigma- THE Best armor for hammerdins and sometimes sorc, mf based on character level, dr, and str, amazing armor if you want to keep your base strength low. CoH- THE best for a sorceress, +2 to all skills, resistances, dr, mf, this armor should guarantee that you won't die. Skullders- Very nice MF, and VERY nice defence if its ethereal, good for people just starting out on ladder. Tal Rasha's Guardianship- Full tals and your sorc is ready to go, decent mf, and good resistances, very good choice for a sorc, combine this with tal amy, and belt for good mf. Skin of Vipermagi- Despite what people say, this armor is pretty good if upped, it has +1 to all skills, resis, and fcr, a very nice armor. c)Weapons - Occy- For sorcs, GODLY mf tool, use this over anything else. Gull Dagger- Good for when your starting out, later on you'll want to use occy because its faster killing bosses. Hoto- Good for hammerdins, resis, skills, #1 choice for hammerdins. 6xIsted Sword- Not a bad choice, very nice for a final blow. d)Shields - Monarch (isted)- 100% mf, VERY nice. HoZ (isted)- For hammerdins, very nice skills and stats on the shield. Spirit - Very nice shield, only problem is that theres no MF Lidless - For people who can't afford the above. Milabregas - For really poor people, least favourable choice. e)Gloves - Chance Guards- #1 Choice for any of these 2 classes. f)Boots - Wartravelers- #1 Choice for mfers Eth Treks, or Waterwalks- Very good stats, and bonuses. g)Belts - Arach- Skip 30% mf from goldwrap and go with this, +1 to all skills and fcr, you can't go wrong with that Goldwrap- Last choice, not bad, but pretty crappy Rare Belt- 24% FHR, and etc are very nice bonuses. Tal Rashas- Very nice belt to coimbine with the tal arm/amu combo. h)Rings- Nagel rings- 30% mf is very nice to have. Magical/Rare Rings- 40% mf is also very nice, sometimes comes with resis/str. i)Amulets- 45-50 Mf Amulets- Very nice for mf. Tal Rashas Amy- Very good choice for people who can't afford the following: +3sorc class+Mf amy- Very nice, my sorc owns one at +3 lit, 35% mf. ======================= Setting Up a Magic Find Character ======================= Sorceress ![]() ![]() ![]() ---------------------------------------------------- Stats ----------------------------------------------------- Vit: 300 |ALL points should be in here | ----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- Str: 100 |Least as possible | ----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- Dex: 0 |None in This Catagory | ----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- Enrg: 50 |Just enough. | ----------------------------------------------------- Good Things About Sorceress: Good Attacks, teleport is already there Bad Things: VERY weak, relies too much on mana, and the merc to be a tank, immunes. In-depth: Sorceress. Sorceresses have an advantage skill called teleport. It reduces the time of a MF run dramatically. She can sacrifice melee damage for better MF, like the Gull Dagger. It can also use the Occulus. a +3 sorc skill weapon with nice Faster cast rate and 50% Mf, (80% with IST.) A dramatic downfall of the sorceressis that she has no warcries to boost her life, she has realativily low life compared to the palidan and must pull circles around Most Bosses to Kill them, it cant tank hits.Thunderstorm, once cast can Attack Bosses auto- -maticly if you are within range. And Energy Shield will withdraw Mana as damage instead of life. Skill Distribution- Lightning Sorceress- 20 In Chain Lightning 20 In Lightning 20 In Charged Bolt 20 In Lightning mastery 20 In Nova 1 In Warmth 1 In telekenisis 1 In Teleport 1 In Frozen Armor 1 In Energy Shield (Preferred damage around 17-30k) Fire Sorceress- 20 In Meteor 20 In Fire Bolt 20 In Fire Blast 20 In Mastery 20 In Frozen Orb 1 In Warmth 1 In telekenisis 1 In Teleport 1 In Frozen Armor 1 In Energy Shield Cold Sorceress- 20 In Blizzard 20 In Ice Bolt 20 In Glacial Spike 20 In Ice Blast 5-10 In Cold Mastery Rest of the skills can go anywhere 1 In Warmth 1 In telekenisis 1 In Teleport 1 In Frozen Armor 1 In Energy Shield Alternate Cold 20 In Frozen Orb 20 In Ice Bolt 20 In Cold Mastery (Trust me It Helps) *17 In Telekenisis *10 In Energy Shield 1 In Warmth 1 In telekenisis 1 In Teleport 1 In Frozen Armor 1 In Energy Shield *Reason for those skills are that they reduce the damage to 2, and that goes straight to your mana, keep yourself a belt full of mana potions, and you'll be fine. Hammerdin ----------------------------------------------------- Stats ----------------------------------------------------- Vit: 300 |ALL points should be in here | ----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- Str: 100 |Least as possible | ----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- Dex: 125 |Enough for block with Holyshield | ----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- Enrg: 50 |Just enough. | ----------------------------------------------------- ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Good Things- Nothing is immune to it, can tank, and can easily kill bosses. Bad Things- No teleport, and requires a enigma(very expensive) In-Depth Hammerdin: Hammerdins have the advantage of taking alot of hits Doing lots of damage, and still being able to live. The only drawback is thefact that you have to run to each boss if you don't have enigma. Skill Distribution- 20 In Blessed Hammer 20 In Concentration 20 In Vigor 20 In Blessed Aim 20 In Holy Shield ( Aim for AT LEAST 8k+ Damage ) Bosses - The following is a graph of what bosses your character can do: ------------------------------------------------------------------ /////////|Lit Sorc| Fire Sorc | Cold Sorc |*Hammerdin| ------------------------------------------------------------------ Andarial |Yes ////| Yes //////| Yes //////| Yes /////| ------------------------------------------------------------------ Pit //// |Yes ////| Yes //////| No ///////| Yes /////| ------------------------------------------------------------------ Countess |Yes ////| No ///////| No ///////| Yes /////| ------------------------------------------------------------------ Summoner |Yes ////| Yes //////| Yes //////| Yes /////| ------------------------------------------------------------------ Trav ////|No /////| No ///////| No ///////| Yes /////| ------------------------------------------------------------------ Mephisto |Yes ////| Yes //////| Yes //////| Yes /////| ------------------------------------------------------------------ Diablo //|No /////| No ///////| No ///////| Yes /////| ------------------------------------------------------------------ Shenk ///|Yes ////| Yes //////| Yes //////| Yes /////| ------------------------------------------------------------------ Pindle///|Yes ////|Yes ///////| Yes //////| Yes /////| ------------------------------------------------------------------ Baal ////|No /////| No ///////| No ///////| Yes /////| ------------------------------------------------------------------ Cows ////|Yes ////| Yes //////| Yes //////| Yes /////| ------------------------------------------------------------------ *Hammerdins are assumed to have Enigma *Sorceresses are Assumed that they have no infinity http://www05.megaupload.com/files/5a3b7150...'s%20MF.avi For a video on how to mf. ================ Hirelings And Mercs ================ Brief Note-- Act 2 Defensive merc is a good choice (nm) because of holyfreeze, allowing you to do more hits while the enemy does less. Any other mercs are not recommended. a) Equipment Helmets- CoA - Use this for max DR, Combo it with levi or Eth upped shaft for max dr, socket with 2 ists if you want merc to have crushing blow Shako - Very nice helmet, Make sure its eth for a extra defence boost Delerium - Very nice helmet, because once confuse sets off, all the monsters will be distracted and you will win the battle undamaged. Gaze - Very nice, dual leech and 15-20% DR, only drawback is no mf on the helm. Eth Andy - +20% ias, massive leech and god def, a very good helm. Armor- Leviathan - 25% dr, 45 to strength, VERY VERY Nice armor, I personally would choose this over all the other armors. Fortitude (eth or Non) - 300% ed, and your merc will be just as strong as you, added to it is 30 resis, and major defence. Eth Shaftshop (upped) - Aiming for 2k+ Defence, your merc would probably not need CoA for max dr, very ncie defence, and best of all it won't break. Stone - Though unrecommended, the defence is very high especially on a bugged armor, only drawback is no dr. Weapons- Infinity - BEST merc weapon for a sorceress, conviction = mass pwnage, the chart on the bosses you can do. FORGET ABOUT IT, youc an kill off any boss. Insight - VERY nice, you can teleport forever and attack forever with meditation by your side, and it even has nice damage too. Eth Reapers - VERY Nice choice as well for people that just start out. =============== Hints And Secrets =============== Cow Level - To open this wonderful level, you must get a wirts leg (tristram) and you the cube to combine it with a tome of town portal. When in the cow level , it is advised not to kill the cow king, because when he dies you can't make the level anymore. Open all the chests, this place is known for the runes it drops. The following graph will show the TC for cow runs. Though it seems rare that a cow game will drop a rune such as zod, take in account that it is equal to all (around 100-200 cows) in the run.

Killing bosses faster - Use static field on bosses to knock down there hp quick. Then just before they die, throw on alot of mf gear, and deal the final hit. ============== Contact And Credits ============== Terms used- MF = Magic Find Hammerdin = A Palidan who uses BLESSED HAMMER Meph = Mephisto Andy = Andarial DR = Damage Reduced ED = Enchanced Damage OR Defence Pwnage = Ownage ( If You Don't Know this...

GOOD WORK Dyna's Ultimate MF GUIDE!! - Dynafrom - 04-11-2006 Cause I don't want my guide ripped. Dyna's Ultimate MF GUIDE!! - Shift - 04-11-2006 Your video doesn't work. Dyna's Ultimate MF GUIDE!! - Bloodangel26 - 04-11-2006 isnt this the guide that you ripped off from someone else? now you are bumping it 3 months later why? why would a ripped guide get stickied? Dyna's Ultimate MF GUIDE!! - tigeroip - 04-11-2006 ok first of all Quote:Amulets (50%) so there are no amulets that give 60% mf. Second of all the best helm for magic find is Quote:Helm (100%) Quote:Rings (80%) so there are no 45% mf rings get my point? ----all these quotes were from battle.net get them from here http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/magic/magicfind.shtml Dyna's Ultimate MF GUIDE!! - Bloodangel26 - 04-11-2006 OK...even though this isnt your guide, i guess we are playing rip it apart game...so i'll point out some errors too... 1. only newbs with sucky gear put ANY points in energy 2. your strength is waaaay to high.... 3. with some of your gear choices, the char wont be able to kill a damn thing. perhaps put them on switch? 4. why does your fire sorc have 20 pts in orb? orb without synergy or at least ice mastery sucks..and if your going to make it a combo sorc, call it a combo sorc not a fire sorc 5. max cold mastery on your blizz sorc 6. max teleken on your orb sorc 7. your hammerdin shouldnt need that much dex with proper gear to get max block 8. my orb sorc on HCL could do countess and baal no problem, so your little table is wrong 9. MAX HOLY SHIELD!!! WHY DO YOU HAVE 8 PTS IN DEFIANCE WHEN HOLY SHIELD ISNT MAXED?!? 10. your credits say you did all the work, and i am pretty sure this is the guide you stole Dyna's Ultimate MF GUIDE!! - Siris - 04-11-2006 damn.... with all this error finds maybe you should rewrite it again haha. well i know i have seen this before. why do you think he stole it though? Dyna's Ultimate MF GUIDE!! - Bloodangel26 - 04-11-2006 he probably stole it for the same reason you spam so much Dyna's Ultimate MF GUIDE!! - tigeroip - 04-11-2006 ok well ppl suck at writing things as SPECIALLY as THIS GUIDE, maybe if you cant wright one then dont wright one at all. p.s. by the way did anyone watch todays Prison Break episode? Dyna's Ultimate MF GUIDE!! - Dynafrom - 04-11-2006 isnt this the guide that you ripped off from someone else? now you are bumping it 3 months later why? why would a ripped guide get stickied? Are you joking? I wrote this myself. Please educate yourself before spamming. Thanks to the rest of you who helped me find errors, will be fixed asap. Please don't assume I stole this guide. Ask Jedi if you need further clarification. Additional Comment: Bloodangel26 Wrote:OK...even though this isnt your guide, i guess we are playing rip it apart game...so i'll point out some errors too... 1. This is my guide FTW 2. Strength was important for me (note this was first day of ladder) 3. I kill things fine + mm.bot found me plenty. This is not PVP 4. 20 Points into orb = 300-400 damage which is good enough to kill off the immunes. Its a firesorc yes, but what are you going to do with the leftover 20 skills? 5. Why cold mastery? All it does it - resis, just put 1 point is enough. 6. Not max, only need 10 max for telekenisis. 7. Hammerdin (note this was built on 3-4 weeks into ladder) 8. What about immunes? What can you do then? Unless you have INFINITY which the guide indicates you can kill all bosses, then its unnecessary. 9. Once again, this was 3-4 weeks into ladder, rather then following the pictures, follow the writing. 10. I completed this guide myself, if you were referring to my STARCRAFT thread, go look in the starcraft section. Pardon if I in any way insulted you, I just don't like people saying my work is stolen. Dyna's Ultimate MF GUIDE!! - Bloodangel26 - 04-11-2006 you want to talk about me spamming? why dont you go make more beg for rep threads? 1. i dont believe you 2. then dont write a guide till you can do better 3. your not using the gear i was referring to then 4. teleport? shivering armor? warmth? eshield? teleken? 5. because you can effectively double or triple your cold damage 6. no, the more the better if you are using eshield 7. see #2 8. static field and a good merc 9. the writing is still wrong 10. i'm not sure what you are talking about starcraft, but there was plenty of talk about you ripping a MF guide...and there is no mf in starcraft. plus even if you did write this guide, which i doubt, its still not very good and doesnt give any new information Dyna's Ultimate MF GUIDE!! - Dynafrom - 04-11-2006 1. i dont believe you 2. then dont write a guide till you can do better 3. your not using the gear i was referring to then 4. teleport? shivering armor? warmth? eshield? teleken? 5. because you can effectively double or triple your cold damage 6. no, the more the better if you are using eshield 7. see #2 8. static field and a good merc 9. the writing is still wrong 10. i'm not sure what you are talking about starcraft, but there was plenty of talk about you ripping a MF guide...and there is no mf in starcraft. plus even if you did write this guide, which i doubt, its still not very good and doesnt give any new information __________________ 1. I don't need you to believe me, as I said you may ask Jedi for clarification. 2. I wrote the guide PIECE by PIECE, at least I DID something. 3. What gear? 4. Common sense. 5. Yes, but maxing it? You already have a hard enough time getting blizz fully maxed, + its a given you kill most monsters in 1-2 hits. 6. Correct, but its a waste knowing monsters also have MANA burn. 7. See #2 8. Yes, you need both #4 9. Ok, please point out the errors so I can correct them. 10. Go to starcraft, thats the thread you want to see about ripping, get your facts straight. It might not give a seasoned d2 vet info, but it helps those who are newbs. Mind searching for the original thread to see the positive feedback? I've had enough of this argument, if you say I ripped it, post with facts. Not opinions. Dyna's Ultimate MF GUIDE!! - Siris - 04-11-2006 i meant what i said about why you think dyna stole this guide. was not spam.......... i think you just have something against him bloodangel. But Bloodangel is right about 1 thing. it does not give any new info especially sice it is posted in the leet realm. most of the ppl that dont know this stuff would be noobs. Dyna's Ultimate MF GUIDE!! - Bloodangel26 - 04-11-2006 1. i may just do that 2. in case you didnt notice, i have 63 rep, so i have been doing something 3. like the 6 isted swords and stuff...you wont kill stuff with that 4. it wasnt included in your guide though? 5. i said on the orb sorc not the blizz 6. thats why you get an insight merc, cheap(at least on ladder) and effective 7. see 2 i guess 8. thats how i soloed countess and baal with an orber 9. i just did, and so did tiger 10. so the guide you ripped was for starcraft? Additional Comment: siris, i wasnt saying that post was spam, but you do spam A LOT! you have like 80 posts in the last 24 hrs...and this isnt posted in the vet area, its posted in d2 discussion(should be in char development) |
