The PoE is for Spork

I was like you , really , here's the truth tho.
I made a sporker and another gazillion of characters over lvl 80, believe me , all
the good drops , and i mean all of them , are from my 0 mf characters.
I have played both mf and no mf characters equal time , i wont spend my time anymore mfing

The drop rate and crafting system is exactly how this genre of RPG works, if you dont like it, then this isnt exactly the right game for you.

oh god please not this crap again.

I admit the thread title is troll-ish to get attention, and the real point of my OP is not-so-cleverly concealed behind a "pseudo-hatred" towards MF Spork.

but please read my post history, even if that can get tiresome.

I believe I made a total of less than 10 posts about Spork out of 1600.
and instead of trying to explain - for the over-1000th time - why PoE's ungodly drops and luck-crafting is not how ARPG or RPG work, I'll just say I probably played this genre (and most of it's parent-genres) more than you did, and have a pretty good knowledge on the matter.

I've also played this game quite a bit. enough to get so frustrated. enough to admire the couple of guys in this thread, who think like me. who still insist on not succumbing to MF, or obsessive trade, or RMT.
maybe I'm crazy, but damn it's good to know I'm not alone.
yet.

you are wrong. Spork is not the only viable way of doing magic find.
You can also do low life physical wander with shav for amazing MF + better damage :P
There are also other non-shav builds that can manage good MF stats without low life or totems

You mean a 30+ EX item is required to do well in POE?
What non-shav/non-low life/non-totem builds are u talking about? Name one build that can be just as viable with more than half the mf of a shav/low life/totem build.(i'm being generous with just needing more than half the mf of a stacked shav/low life/totem char)

And by "just as viable" i mean, equiv clearing speed with the luxury of having almost no risk of dying.

i try to get all my rare gear with iir and iiq , but i don't play sporker :(

low life claw build seems fun though with double strike , don't know if it would kill faster then mf wander though

So what happens if I make a dual ice spear totem MF character? Does the PoE universe implode in on itself because I defied the laws of the forumites?

hmm 3 pages. very small percentage of people who bothered reading my whole OP.
even smaller percentage of people who got the point I was trying to get across.

maybe I gave you guys too much credit with my "cryptic" message.

I give up.

moderators please lock this before the usual General Discussion flame-war starts. thanks!

i tried low life mf sporker.

most boring thing i ever played in poe. and even with culling, sporks cant catch up with good dps in high end groups. quite ineffective unless the whole grp stops attacking ...lol.

build a low life mf wander then which is able to get 99% of the kills, without annyoing delays each yellow.

You must have been playing it completely wrong then, I've been doing maps with a sporker with over 115 quantity / 350 rarity the last couple of days, and the map gets covered in loot.

It was working best in the small area wave attack maps, bit still effective on others too.

But again, if you don't like the build then you don't have to play it, what to people here hope to achieve by complaining about a build that they don't like? I don't even think the complaints are genuine, its just one of those 'its cool to hate this cos everyone else hates it too' type of things.

Actually, it's more of "It's cool to lay down 2 totems and go grocery shopping just to come back to the entire game dead with loot lying around" sort of thing.

I played Spork. It's boring. It's effective. It's probably the most efficient way to run MF and run end-game content with the effort of pressing 2 buttons and walking away. Those 2 buttons being Spork Totem and Spork Totem.

No magic find sporker, got 2 Shavrones with 0 IR. All in all why should i raise a MF sporker, just to find tons of low and mid unique items. I proofed that IR is extrelmy overrated, thats not an issue of GGG, more than a problem of players, who believe the best items only drop with high ir, which is extreme nonsense.
