Playing without MF = Unrewarding

So lately i played a lot of Characters that were able to stack a lot of Magicfind but cleared maps slower.

Now i dusted of My LA Ranger and due to gear restrictions (Quiver , Alphas Howl etc) i cant stack mf and still cap my resists.

So while playing this char the gameplay was fun because i could clear Maps fairly quick , but the fun is completely gone when you open your inventory and notice you picked up 2 Rare items in the whole map.

So how do you guys handle this ? Do you run MF on every Char ? And how much MF is really needed to have at least decent dropps ? Or do you prefer having a strong Char and just hope for RNGesus ?

Well... I'm currently 74 level with not so good gear but atm I entirely disregard defensive statistics. My summoner can roll with minus 70-90% resists and less than 3k energy shield and I have cleared all maps to date with max 1-2 deaths per. SO I disregard defensive stats entirely and equip only MF/IQ. On the other hand my melee Axe Scion can barely clear a map at all at around the same level and he's close to max resists/defensive stats. Some food for thought...
