This is one of the reasons I often choose magic find builds.

That sounds rather fun, actually. Are the returns big enough that it warrents a playstyle like that?

Yeah I'd say so,

One of the builds I often run is based on this:

I find it's a perfect balance of DPS, clear speed, survivability, and magic find.

5k HP, 20k DPS (not 100k+), and 300 rarity and 20% quantity.


Makes it so I can choose whether I want to mindlessly and quickly farm maps below T7, or if I am bored and want a challenge I can jump into a T10+. Very doable, but makes you stay on your toes to make it through efficiently.


Returns are very nice, I finish every map with 6 full inventories of rares, and usually a couple unique drops on every map too.


Makes for a ton of passive currency generation without even selling things in a shop. The thread linked above estimates around 0.5 ex per hour, and I'd agree with that based on my experiences. Of course if you sell things in a shop, you make even more.


Some people use such a build as a league starter to farm for more expensive DPS builds, but I just run with the magic find build and make it my whole-league build. I like re-investing my currency into better MF gear and seeing how high I can push it before the league ends.
