Just toss it out here: I did the Key Warden in Act1 8 times without the key dropping once.
Inferno monster level 6
So I don't expect the drop chance of the key to be anywhere close to even 40%

I dont get their problem with the CM Wizard build. They say they needed to nerf it because of the new legendary procs. Please tell me which legendary proc is so powerful that it would be a gamechanger? None of it deals that high damage, maximus is nice, but everyone uses that on the follower, because the weapon is not that great. I dont think this reason can justify nerfing a very fun build. I played all classes, my main is not a wizard, but it would be great to see different characters in my party doing different things (i feel boring to play with 4 of the same class, even the same build). If wizards loose the CM/SC build and they probably loose the infinite archon build because on higher monster powers u cant keep archon up) than noone will farm with wizard...

Im not getting it right, is mf affecting the affixes roll?
what should the mlvl improve on drops? I just cant see a good point on it, more mf means more rares, more rares means more time lost identifying trash as the affixes are just bad ...

The Realm of Chaos - Ghom and Raknoth.
This one, by far, seems like the most difficult.
Monster Power is considered "on" once you bump it up to Monster Power 1, at which point all monsters in Inferno become level 63. "No Monster Power" means that the system is technically "off," so monster levels will remain the same and you won't get any of the scaling XP/GF/MF boosts.

So, we still don't have this sorted out - if you set the monster level to max , you can only have more MF ,meaning you use more MF gear ,MF shrine stacks after 375,400 or whatever is max MF atm, BUT you don't actually get more and better loot if monster level is set to max. Hmm ,so elites are 10 times harder to kill but don't reward better loot ? Well they do, if you have 100000000 MF + the enough kick to go through them. Interesting.
If I'm wrong ,correct me please. I'm also interested in how exactly it will work .Thanks

and in return players will receive scaling bonuses to experience (for heroes levels 1-60)
This is either a typo or they changed their minds about level 60 players getting xp for ML

amazing patch to be honest,
they really touched everything that I found annoying/broken.
only thing I dislike is :
"..in return they’ll receive scaling bonuses to experience (for heroes levels 1-59)".
but cannot complain really.
It does say "as well as" after that so it's a bit ambiguous. Not providing any exp incentive for Monster Power after having just added the Paragon incentive would be extremely short sighted.
Not really. Better loot is more than enough incentive (especially since loot is quickly irrelevant as you level in this game but means everything at 60). With the XP shrines, possible gear bonuses to XP, and the NV buff, I think Blizzard wants to cap how fast people can make it to 100. They really want it to take a while. Besides, better loot = improved combat efficiency which means killing faster thus faster XP anyway. Just not as dramatic as the sub-60 improvements.

When it comes to the NV stacks and skill swapping I see no problem with the way it is. If a champ pack gives you problems it isn't because of your skills it's because of your gear, plain and simple.
Wrong. Try playing a wizard against a fast jailer vortex frozen spider pack. Now try it with all skills available. Having the ability to switch to have a ton of escape abilities completely changes the game.
No longer do you have to make strategic choices in your build and create a balanced set of skills, just keep changing them until it works.
Should I remind you, PLAYERS asked for build permanence. PLAYERS were playing with the skill window open. Do you want to go back to playing with the skill window open?

Are you an no-AH purist? Because that would explain a lot. Nothing has been nerfed - MP0 is far easier than before, with exactly the same rewards. MP1 is not hard either if you want the flat difficulty. Yes farming ubers will be a very slow process if you go that route, but they're not mandatory, it's just one ring. There has to be something to keep the more dedicated players playing.
You don't have to stack defense skills anymore, even at high MP. But if you don't, you will need good defense and LoH/life steal on your gear, which takes time. That's just the way that the game works. They never said that they were completely removing the need for any defense at all.

I don't understand why you feel this way. High MP levels are not designed to be mandatory, they're for people who have crazy gear, which includes having reasonable defense. If you don't want to be forced into having good survivability, just stick with an MP level where you can kill things before they kill you.
If you can beat MP1, you're at the endgame. Play it and have fun. As your gear improves and MP1 isn't a challenge anymore, start increasing the MP so you can still have fun. That's all there is to it.

Weapons still have lower base damage stats at lower ilvls, just like gear has lower base armor. Affixes are what make up the large majority of real weapon damage though so an ilvl61 weapon with 63 affixes could still be great. They buffed the 61/62 weapon damage affixes in 1.0.4 but the 63 affixes are still better, so this is still a buff.

It doesn't sound right to me that Keywardens are stronger than act bosses even in MP0, is that confirmed? They even spawn in the lower difficulties, I would expect that they're just relatively strong unique mobs.

Is this your first time playing Diablo?

The biggest difference is that in Diablo 3 they added Inferno difficulty, which is specifically designed around having optimal gear. That's what brought this issue front and center whereas in Diablo 2 you could largely get away with ignoring trading and still play the endgame. I think 1.0.5 is going to bring it closer to D2's approach, in that you can realistically beat Inferno naturally so it doesn't matter that much that the AH is still a vastly easier way to gear up.
The other issue though is that the AH is so easy that everybody knows about it and is willing to use it even if they really would rather not. I think the biggest fix left for D3 is to fix crafting so that it really is a relatively viable alternative to the AH, so you can feasibly acquire your gear in-game with even like 80% of the efficiency of the AH.

What do you expect? Interest will always go downhill after release for every game that isn't WoW.

Do a google search on "confirmation bias" guys. People who are trying this want it to be true, and so they look real hard for evidence that it's true while dismissing evidence that it isn't. And the people who do luck into legendary drops when they try it are more likely to post here about it than the people who don't.

You have a really strange definition of "effective". I would argue that if a player is having fun playing the game then they're playing way more effectively than someone who spends all day camping the AH for deals and hating every minute of it. In 1.0.5 you won't need to do that at all to beat Inferno, gearing up for high monster power levels will be a purely optional activity.

Well, they did let people discover it, on the PTR

I do think Paragon levels are just too slow in general though even for mains. Towards the end the grind becomes so slow that it's not even satisfying anymore.
