Guild Wars 2

Suggestion to eliminate this issue

Superior Rune of Boosting 0/6:
1: Grant players near you +2% Magic find Bonus.
2: +25 PWR
3: Grant players near you +5% Magic find Bonus.
4: +50 PWR
5. Grant players near you + 10% Magic find Bonus.
6: +90 PWR

Maybe something with different stats, but I propose a new rune to benefit the party more with magic find. I mean I realize we have banners that grant +10% magic find already, but this gives us a way to gain MF and still deal damage. Suggestions for other stats are welcome.

I will say, MF may HURT the team by reducing that player’s role a bit, but then so what? I can’t even afford full MF gear even if I wanted to right now. I don’t have a full exotic set, I die a lot, but I’m out there having fun. MF was never designed for team play in the first place. It’s designed for SOLO players because it boosts your roll potential for better drops. Someone in MF may deal less damage, but then again they’re the ones who are getting the rare/exotic drops that YOU aren’t because you chose not to wear MF gear. MF gear is aimed for those who want to farm gear without fear of bad rolls. If you ran with a full party using MF gear, you’ll all benefit from it. Plus we all get our own drops anyways, so why does it matter if they have MF gear or not? I get rare drops and i don’t even have MF gear. I know sentinel is a new stat combination, so maybe to counter the MF issue, there should be another set of MF gear that caters towards MF/power? I know it just increases your odds by like 1/10 chance or something, maybe one thing A-Net could look into in the future is a new Rune that say has “6/6: Provides the party with 10% Magic Find.” Or something similar to that effect. That way we all get some equal benefits from it.
