[Farming] Wizard easy Items/Gold Act 4 Inferno

[d2junkie]

How do you expect "tangible" proof of something that is intangible?

Well Blizzard has posted about other farming "exploits" being nerfed so there's always a possibility of that. And if not than something more than just a couple of people out of a 10 page forum post having what could very easily just be bad luck. If this post starts filling up with multiple people coming in on or around the same day all complaining about lower drops than yeah it's probably been nerfed. But its hard to say one way or the other when the split is, at very best, even between people saying that they get nothing and people saying that it's still good. And not saying that this is what you've done but I'm sure at least a couple of the people who are complaining probably went in and did it 5 times and got nothing and proceeded to call nerf. Either way even if it has been nerfed it is still one of if not the fastest/easiest place a wizard can farm a reliable drop. Again I'm not trying to start a war with you just pointing out that there is merit to both sides of the issue and the fact that RNG is involved chances are we'll never truly know if it has been nerfed.

It really sucks that opening a game takes almost 20 seconds and more... pushes my runs per hour way down. Same problem with US servers or just us Europeans?

Are you closing the game entirely? If so, all you have to do is leave game and start from the beginning of the Fall of the High Heavens quest. If that's what you are doing than I don't know what the issue is because as quickly as I can click "Start Game" I'm in.

The problem _was_ after pressing "Start Game" the button would be greyed out and it would take up to 20 seconds to create the game or it would fail with an error. Its not a problem at the moment on Europe however....

MF only affects the quality(magic, rare, legendary) of items....not stats bro.

I meant I'm still only getting blue drops....

This is a boss. They typically only drop blues unless you have Neph Valor. How this is unknown by some people amazes me.

I also have 100+ hours played on my wizard (140) and have found no good loot in the game (Not this boss specifically). I found 1 crappy legendary in Act 4 Normal and nothing since. I also have 40 hrs on a barb. So in ~200 hrs play time I have 1 level 20 legendary, no set items, and no rares above common AH quality. Some of us just have bad drops. No nerf required. haha

this is still working after this last patch fyi. fast way to farm blues/mats. ive had 3 ~1k dps 2hs and one crappy rare drop in about 25 runs so far so im not sure if this is better than siegebreaker farming. thank you for the find though

Someone mail me on EU if u can help with the way point please

Anyone who is having trouble with this farm, follow this video.
I have: 21k Health, 34k DPS, 175 MF.
Magic Weapon: Force; Familiar: Sparkflint; Venom Hydra; Teleport Wormhole; Shockpulse Piercing Orb; Archon: Enhanced 25%
Glass Cannon; Arcane Dynamo; Temporal Flux

Drop your hydra in the center before the cut scene, teleport to that specific corner, use your signature to get 5x dynamo, pop Archon. I had a lot of trouble with this until I watched the video (i.e. kept dying quickly). 1st time I attempted after video I dropped him.

3rd run I got 1h Axe 819 DPS 120str/110vit. Very viable farming spot!

Got 3M+ in a few hours ( 64k dps / 51MF ) selling on AH some drops and vendor the rest, that was great while it lasted but since that patch he's dropping a lot more low lvl items ( still some good weaps too but less )

Thanks for sharing!

Completely random and luck based still. Have gotten my share of 1000+ 2h's and 800+ 1h's

The post above you is right, there's nothing random in there. Before I was getting 95% lvl 60 items, now not even half of the items are level 60. That's not bad luck, that's not RNG, that's a loot table nerf. Of course you can still get that awesome +300-600 holy dmg +50% damage 2hander with 1400 dps, but the chances are much lower now. Is it still worth it ? I don't know. In my experience 5 stacks siegebreaker is the best farm place for a wizard time and drop wise. I'm talking from the point of view of a wizard with 35k hp and 37k dps or 25k hp and 50k dps. Iskatu doesn't drop rares, gearswaping is risky even with AHK, Cydea + Azmodan are the best drops but getting 5 valor stacks take longer without Tyreal.
