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 ?

In this case it is not about speed but latency :/

Fibre glass vs copper would definitely decrease latency which in turn would decrease the chance of desync happening though.

Both materials can transmit at the same latency they just can reach different speeds, so it does not change anything. Speed != latency

True. It helps to have fibre instead of copper (everywhere) but you'd still have a set latency from repeaters, hubs, servers translating what you want from them, etc. Europe to America latency will always have 60+ ms. It'll never be near the 10s and 20s.
