I don't think so. I've had full 5 stacks and no yellows from goblin.

Is there a DPS calculator?
The EHP calc doesn't tell me everything I need to know.

I'm not sure. Pretty much every time I've killed a goblin with 5 stacks I've had at least 1 rare drop, but I don't know if it's necessarily guaranteed. It's probably just very, very likely, with goblins having a high base drop rate for magic/rare items (higher than typical champions even) and all the additional MF you'll have from the stacks.
Pretty sure that was a ninja change in 1.0.3, along with events like Jar of Souls and that other one in the crypts dropping rares with 5 stacks.
Do the goblin drop rates follow the basic Act drop rates as far a ilvl goes?
I think it's just likely with the MF boost you get from the stacks. I was a little shocked. With 5 stacks I have about 275% MF. lol
No idea why they wouldn't, I just wanted to confirm they did. I really like farming Act II goblins and just wanted to make sure the increased drop rates effected them.
Edit: Also wasn't sure if Blizzard would nerf their drops.
I've gotten three level 63 rares in ten minutes off the Alcarnus goblin. I made the stupid mistake of identifying them (all garbage) so I didn't make any gold off of them, but still.

Today I finally got to a point where I can run through act 3 killing all elites in my way. Then I got to Ghom. A few hundred thousand in repair bills and much cursing later I finally managed to kill him 
For all the frustration in the game it feels so good when you manage to overcome what brick walled you earlier. Just in time for the drop rate fix too.

Lol you need to make a thread titled something along the lines of Bombablo seems pretty customary around here.
From reading this thread with all the insane 10-50mil gold item sales, and then looking at the EU market. My gold it's a completely different world. You'd never be able to sell the same items here for those prices.

This just dropped and I vomited a little inside my mouth.
Everyone is. Even in Act 2 I'm seeing a ton of lvl 63 items. Anyone that is geared to run A3/A4 elites is going to get 63 after 63.

With 5 stacks I'm under 100MF and I pretty much get a rare from goblins all the time at 5NV. I've farmed gobs in a2 w/ 200 MF and I don't even get a rare all the time there so I think it's more than just MF at play.

Found a lot more 62s and 63s on that act 2 farming run
Here comes the craaaaash

thought you quit?
I said I was quitting when my last couple of items sold. That is proving more difficult than I imagined.
Also, it's 105 degrees outside. I'm not going out in that.

pvp patch coming soon, gotta level that playing field.
They wont complain about that. And even if they do, they will be drowned out by the masses who are crying for more end game content once they are fully equipped in the ilvl 63's currently falling from trees.
I am geared to do such a thing, and I just did such a thing. I ran all the way from that open area in Machines of War through the siege breaker quest and on to Azmodan. I beat every elite on the way. Got nothing but hot garbage. I think I got enough to sell 150k worth, maybe. Of the other people in my group one person got nothing but garbage (he dropped before the 2nd twerp, though), and the other found one decent armor that's probably worth a good bit (by good bit I mean possibly a million... maybe 2)
Essences will probably drop in price.

Man, this is just in time.
I tried to do another useless farm run on act 1 last night, got 15 mins in with the usual shit drops and quit.
I was ready to really quit.
But there is that dangling carrot...I'll give it a few more days lol

I'm starting to get pretty sick with the drops in this game now. 250 hours in and I've gotten 3 legendaries and 0 set items. The legendaries all sucked. What's the point of dropping me a level 55 spear when I'm grinding Inferno with 5 stacks? It's of no use to me or anyone else. I guess I could salvage them but with legendary plans being even rarer I honestly don't see the point.
Also, I wish they'd just acknowledge how much Act 2 sucks and adjust the difficulty of Act 3 so that people could skip that depressing crap.

Hellion Crossbows *drool*
I can wait the week until a 1300 DPS one is like 1mil.
2H Barb needs bonus +Crit Chance on Weapons to make up for no Shield.

I'm responding to the wrong part of the picture, huh.

dude nice
now all i need is dps similar to what you have in bob and i'll be good T_T
I was surprised at the ratios. My feeling was that pre-hotfix Act 1 was better than Act 3 because it could be done much, much faster and had comparable drop rates on ilvl 61 and 25% of Act 3's for ilvl 63. But now it's even closer for all ilvls 61-63. So if it made sense to do Act 1 instead of Act 3 before the hotfix, it makes even more sense now.
Edit: Now even the best items only drop 3.4 times as often in Act 3 as in Act 1. So if you can get items in Act 1 about 3 times faster than in Act 3/4, you're probably better off there, and it seems to me that that'll be the case for almost everybody - you need crazy DPS before walking time starts dominating.
