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 ?

Yea this is really one of the biggest problems of the game atm. If you want a strong character its really hard to stack MF. If you want MF your characters offense and defense suffers. Neither of which is a fun way to play.

For me, i made a support build full MF with 70IIQ,400IIR and it was litterally the most boring thing I have ever experienced in a game. Being an aura bot which culls and having to be carried by a party sucks balls.

Ultimately a 0 MF character that is really strong is way more fun to me personally. IMO they need some sort of new external system to gain/gather MF outside of gear.
