Magic Find

Everytime you kill a monster you roll on a number of tables, inside these tables are different rarity categories.
Magic find increases the chances you will get higher categories.
For example if there is a 1 in 10 category, and you have 200% magic find you will have 3/10 chances to get that category.
This improves not just the rarity of the items you get but can also improve your chances at getting trophies and rare crafting materials like lodestones.
^from wiki

But to answer the question, C is right i think. if a mob has uncommon stuff in it’s loot table you will have the extra 10% to get that loot. However if a mob is only tabled to drop junk, you will never get anything but junk.

I could be wrong tho :P

Torn between Professions

I’m new to the game and have rolled both a Warrior and a Guardian.
I see a few topics on the pros and cons of both but still cant really find what im looking for.
In a nutshell I’m mostly doing solo PvE stuff, just questing/exploring/grinding etc. I’m not too bothered about dungeons for now, mebe once i hit 80 i’ll get into doing them.
PvP and WvW just arent my thing at all.

I’m torn between the two because i cant seem to find the build or weapon combo that works best for me.
On my warrior i have opted for a high crit build i found based on unused signets and increased dmg form adrenelin.
On my Guardian I’v gone into toughness and vitality trait lines as well as trying a high crit build also.
I’ve tried doing power/toughness traits on both but there seems to be a bad synergy between those two lines.

My warrior feels like a glass cannon, and my Guardian feels way to slow to kill.
My warrior has good dmg but i hate the weapon skills, the guardian has lackluster dmg but i much prefer the weapon skills.

All i feel i need is a balance between dps and survival. and it feels as though I can only take one or the other.
I keep jumping betwwen the two styles and just cant decide.

If any one could provide some good insight into good leveling/end game farming dps but quite hardy specs for each prof and maybe tell me how you feel each style plays i’d be pretty greatful. I’m getting nowhere fast and getting bored of doing the same zones due to the switching and I really want to experience high end gameplay.

TLDR: cant decide between warrior or guardian, need a good hardy yet damaging spec and advice.
