AthenaAqua My Calamity + DML/rare 1hxbow DH
I use DML for my speed farms as i need the ias to proc NS faster but usually change DML to a rare 1hxbow 9xx dps, 2.6% LS, 98% CD, OS (dps maintain almost the same as using DML 11xk dps but lose 10k health while LS becomes 5%) for Ubers since not so many mobs to gain from NS proc but higher LS means i use Gloom less.
My DH gear setup is only mediocre (11xk dps, 2.82 as, 50% cc, 4xx AR, 3.8k armor & 48k health). If u wanna see a better 1hxbow setup check out MOBAjobg DH, his Calamity is godly (he also has a 1k dps rare hxbow . black wpn, ls, cd, os)

FRAPS is the most commonly used recording software for games. I hvnt used the latest version but from my past experience i can say that it didnt effect my fps so much when i used it (depends also on your rig spec)

Bola/Imminent Doom + EA/BL combo also nice on low lvl mp .. shoot Bola 1st followed by few BL ... delay on Imminent Doom works in-sync with slow travel time of BL, as ID explodes BL will clear any remaining mobs. Perfect for mobile DH who moves/kites a lot (for tankier DH i find Thunder Ball + Echoing Blast is pretty neat) .. considering u r farming VoTA where mobility is much needed to avoid those spinning thing lolz. I also find that ID delay benefits gloom mode as mid/end encounter with elites u get back the LS effect of gloom (early encounter when u start gloom u r probably at full health .. gloom > few shots of ID > surely within that 2 sec delay u alrdy hv been hit few times > BOOM! get health back hehe). AoE + high dmg output also not bad.

Skull Grasp: Reduces resource cost of Chakram by 1-4 Hatred
Mara: Reduces resource cost of Chakram by 1-5 Hatred

Mara with max crit dmg + max crit chance + bonus to your fav dh skill + (another random roll u can either go avg dmg @ vit depending on what u need more dps@ehp) imho would be best Mara .. since u r a Windforce user u wont need ias dat much.

i'm a Cala + DML user (i think moba is another)

Pros:
faster resource regen (hatred & disc from NS passive)
higher crit chance (from Archery passive)
the best part of having insane ias is that u can almost perma-stun mobs using grenade/stun grenades (best used in conjuction with spike trap/echoing blast)

Cons:
low dps & also lower crit hit dmg (unless u go dw with open socket cala + danetta @ rare hxbow with open socket)

to stun more than 1 mob .. use Grenades/Stun Grenades
Throw out three grenades that explode for 95% weapon damage as Fire each.
Hurl grenades that have a 25% chance to Stun enemies for 1.5 seconds.
with high ias from Cala u can stun a lot of mobs by throwing grenades around u used properly with EB will also give enough Disc to perma gloom (GT + Gloom + SG + EB = no kiting lolz)

i'll trade one of my kidney for your Cala moba lolz j/k great vid btw

Leg drop probability itself is very2 low so even high MF wont hv much effect. The noticeable thing that MF does influence is more affix roll on RARES (and also that extra item drop thingy)

me hv 1 too but ofc its nothing concrete or hv any solid prove ... its not routes/areas @ MF etc .. for me it has suumthin to do at certain time/point

Waiting on DC to share his 1st then i'll share mine haha
u show urs i show mine dare lolz

1st tip (based on my own playing experience):
Speed farm low mp until u r 2-3 xp bar to ding next lvl ... then do high mp act clear runs (i normally do Keeps quest .. kill ghom .. sb .. up to Azmo ... i usually go Skycrown then Sfort for 5nv & kw kill 1st)

Thanks for sharing bro

Anyways regarding the MF & number of affix roll on RARES .. i believe there's a blue post regarding how high MF affect more affix being rolled on RARES (legs hv fixed number of affix so MF doesnt help). I personally did some sampling (i hv to admit its a small sample to be considered concrete proof).. i collected 30 rings+ammys on my speed runs (mp0-1 .. MF cap at 300-325) and did the same on my key runs (mp6-7 .. MF cap 450-475) .. i kept all rings/ammys UNID on 2 seperate tabs in my stash. Once i collected 60 rings/ammy.. i proceed to ID them and compare the result .. 70% of the ring/ammy i found in low mp hv 4 or less affix but those found on higher mp had more than 4 affix (i think almost half of them and 8 had max numbers of affix).

On to the high density servers ... i remember few months back there was this "myth" going around about "loot server" (certain server denoted by end ip range .. can be determined by doing netstat) .. i tried those loot servers and after awhile i gave up lolz .. then a blue post confirms such "loot server" never existed. However i do believe ur theory of elite pack density can increase the chance of leg drops .. thing i noticed is the numbers of elite pack in Core .. most of the time its 2 .. but there's time u can find 3 or even 4 packs in core .. bear in mind Goblin counts as elite as well (maps with lots of gob spawns tend to give me more than 1 leg drop). Another thing of note is .. do u guys ever notice when u spawn at Azmo lair entrance sometimes theres a pack there @ sumtimes a large number of scorpions? when these happen i always make a point to kill Azmo (so far ive got few leg drops on such ocassions). So maybe Core can also be used as a benchmark (since its smaller compared to Keeps 2 n faster to do).

More "d3 loot drop conspiracy theories" if needs be coming soon

Just something that crossed my mind .. will Kulle @ Magda get knocked back by WF? If yes ... 1 WF DH use strongarm + Azkaranth with knockback keep shooting Cinder Arrows at Kulle & Mag to push them away from SB & SK while 3 other DH dps.
lksing u fast2 try k .. haha

Ideal 4 DH imho: 1 WF DH to knockback & crowd control, 1 Cala DH to perma stun & 2 Manti DH to dps.
