We necros often get the fuzzy end of the stick when it comes to loot. Never being up front when it drops, I tend to scrounge 100% of whats left behind. Amazing what people in a hurry will run right past, or not notice at the bottom of a huge pile, such as the Gull Dagger I picked up a week or so ago.
My 84 summoner is still missing a lot of his final gear, and up until yesterday had no real MF at all, and wasn't finding much of anything. Wimp that he is, solo hell cows and team baal runs are all he does for now.
Gheeds charm, 97/21/12 dropped in cows, and that prompted me to dig out the gull dagger and put on his switch. As soon as I have my "army" built up on the way to getting a wirts leg so my sorc can make the cows, I switch to the Gull and await the treasure coming my way soon. And I die. Too close to some enchanted unique and POOF. Next time I keep my distance and 8 skells I cast naked kill him easy, but no drop, so I grab my body, chug mana, and recast everything, and switch again to the gull. Nothing special drops, I get the leg and drop it in rogue for my sorc to make the level with and change chars.
Twice more in cows, where I haven't died in the last 20 levels, I get caught by some macho moo, maybe a touch of lag too, but after the third death my true chicken skills surface and I stay alive.
Nothing special is dropping, but I am seeing more and better gems, then the moment comes, the cow king, and I see 3x uniques and a set item, gimmershred, boneflesh, cliffkiller, and orphans belt. Not bad for my first real use of MF items.
