Find item magic finding any good?

[SpadeZ]

I was thinking of a barb that went through cow levels or baals minions with.
helm :110% Artisan's Tiara of Luck (35%) Socketed with three Ist Runes (75%)
ammy: Fortuitous Amulet of Luck (50%)
armor: 148% Skullder's Ire (1.25-123% + 25% Ist Runes)
weapon: (2x) 180% 6 Socketed Weapon with 6 Ist Runes or ali baba
gloves: 40% Chance Guards
ring 1: 40% Magic Fortuitous Rings of Fortune or nagel
belt: 30% Goldwrap
ring 2: 40% Magic Fortuitous Rings of Fortune
boots: 50% War Traveler

anything else (charms, etc)
1x 40%mf gheeds
37x 7mf sc

With all that magic finding is it possible to find anything worth building this?

...probably won't do this but I was curious.

i have a find item barb; when find-iteming, he has ~300 mf. When killing, he has less. much less.

theres no point overloading with mf because of diminishing returns. The idea is good, just less MF and more killing power

:P Yea I know, but I planned to just run through finished cow levels and also have you gotten anything good from it?

Item finding normal monsters is quite disappointing. It may take ages to find something useful.

Best place to item-find is probably the Travincal. To avoid rebuilding your char, just lev up your babo a bit and put 5 into pts warcry. Dish out your merc with cool toys like forty, ebotd warpike and crown of theives and use warcry to stun the council while merc whacks at them. Then pop corpses at will. Good luck ;)

Im finishing a mf barb build right now.... You really can get some decent stuff, I went for the all out MF build dimishing returns or not untill you have tried 800+ mf you cant say you dont notice a difference. The ammount of rares that drops is nuts... Any how it is lots of fun either way.

Frenzy is the way to go as it naturally progresses toward duel weilding for max mf...

I use the following setup..

helm - steel skull - duel leech IAS, FHR, 50% mf .... cham it or ist it up to you...

boots - war travs

gloves - chancies or rare/crafted with cb, str, life mf.... If you do the build right you only need 20 IAS which you get from belt and helm so not needed here...

belt - goldwrap - GF, MF, and IAS its all we need as a mf barb..

weapons - eBOTDz and Last Wish PB,,, I use pb even though dmg is lower its annoying to always repair my zerker...

on swith--

Dual Isted Ali baba's ( on switch for item find and boss kills )I got 120's uped... granted 180 mf zerkers get more mf buy you get gf with these as well...

Ammy - mf ammy, or FCR ammy,,,

Rings - MF FCR rings,,, you want to hit 20% FCR wether from rings or ammy for faster tele and item find casting...

Charms -- I have been working on collecting these and these are the hard part... max//ar//mf small charms. get as many as you can or resist//mf if you need...

------------------------

as for skills I go with Max frenzy, 5 item find, 1 pt in sword and axe mastery could be more if you like for your build... dabble in taunt for dmg, max bo, max or 10 in berserk,, you can mix and match the build so you can solo hell and still item find...

Its really open ended as to how you place the skills...

Just remember that corpses are removed very fast so you should tailgait the killers and hork like a maniac.

Shenk, Pindle and Eldritch are good monsters to MF as well, they're all close to waypoints.
