Overall, though, i boosted my resistances and it helped a ton. i dropped my vitality quite a bit, sadly, but i stay alive way longer than when i did when i had 10k more hp. I also havent been looking for regen and stuff on those pieces you mentioned because, in general, the rolls suck on them for regen. I need to invest in just a few more pieces to boost crit damage, all resist a bit more, and serious regen right now. Thanks for the tips though, theyre already helping

If you're using a Force Armor kite build like I do, you actually don't want much vitality. Calculate your effective health pool such that each hit from a mob in whatever act you are farming is 35% of your life, then don't get any more health. Because Force Armor is a percentage-based skill whereas life regen is a set number, more health means your life regen ticks you to full slower. You want *just enough* to make Force Armor work.

EDIT- ofc if you are using something like a prismatic armor build, I can't really help you. I've used force armor pretty much exclusively in my time playing this game, it's just too good :P

Look for 17-19 MF pieces instead of going for perfect rolls. WAY cheaper when you are just starting farming, you can get your "perfect" battlefind gear later.
When I am farming I actually only swap out 3 pieces, but those 3 pieces give me more than 100 extra MF so it's still effective. I used to have a near-perfect MF set but I sold the worst pieces because I was rarely using them anyway. The DPS loss was too great and I was too lazy to switch at the last moment lol
