He also did Inferno Whymsire with 400+ MF and did not get anything other than blue gear from the clouds (chests) and nothing but crappy rares from the elite packs.

You're much better off just farming for gold. The best way to do this is go get to 60, get some decent cheap gear, and then farm Whymshire on Hell with 5 stacks of Nephalem Valor. This gives you 15% MF and Gold Find per buff, max of 5. You get 1 stack per elite pack or rare (blue or yellow names). With a 5 stack, you're also guaranteed to get to get extra loot from bosses, so farming Butcher on Hell pretty good, too.

You can find decent gear for sub 100k most of the time, you just have to shop around. Until you really want to start progressing through Act 2 Inferno, you can get away with 25-30k health and minimal resistances if you can kite well enough. Once you get good enough gear, you can farm Inferno Butcher with 5 stacks of NV to try and farm gear instead of gold.

Is this Athene the same as the WoW player Athene? Guy was freaking crazy, inspired me to solo doomwalker on my DK before they got nerfed
