1.0.3, Attack Speed Changes, and Hypocrisy

[MongoJerry]

And on the flip side, I know a Barb who's rocking almost 60k hps, 11,500 armor, and 1000+ resists who hangs out in Acts 3/4, and he hates the patch because the gear drops have been effectively nerfed in those later acts.

Really? I haven't heard anything about this. How have the drops in Acts 3/4 been nerfed? Is he just talking about mf% no longer working on chests, etc, or a nerf to item drops on monsters? It would seem like with the gear he has, he'll have to wait a long time to find an upgrade no matter what.

Edit: There's a forum post with Bashiok responses regarding this. No confirmation yet on whether this is a real or a perception issue, however:
