i used to farm at mp3 or 4.... but still felt that i take a bit long to kill elites... so i moved to mp1 and i was in heaven...

although i have 200k dps and i can farm mp4 just fine, mp1 just means i never die and just breeze through everything... it is way way more efficient i tell u.

once i sapu whole of act 3 with just one archon... including cydaea and azmo kills.... i had about 5 minutes or archon up time remaining at one point too.... mp1 is just that efficient.

loot wise, i get about 2 legs per run... just a moment ago, i looted a manajuma carving knife with a very good roll! so, im sticking with mp1.

if doing ubers, there should be one person in the party that can do CC well in order to separate the bosses while the other 3 dps the other one. so if the barb or monk can provide the distraction that the party needs, then i suggest u do dps build, but not archon cos it last only 15 seconds.... personally i use meteor build.... with 20 apoc, i can spam meteor non stop..... user prism and power of the storm to decrease ap cost.... if the party needs the service of perma freezing, then use cm build.

if just normal plvl farming.... archon would be better cos it's faster....

yeah i normally get 2 legs per full a3 run. but that said, sometimes u do get dry runs.... thats RNG for u... but by average, yes 2 legs per run. also, do u have full mf?
