Magic Find

[Archon_Wing]

My friend says that magic find stacks when your in a party so that all player magic find items are added up. I was going on the assumption that the MF items had to be worn at the time of death to be held in consideration and that the player making the kill is determined on his magic find rating.

Does the player need to make the kill to get the magic find or can he hang back sometimes?

Well, I'd understand why he'd think that. If everyone were to believe that and stuff as many mf+ items on, then it would indeed skew the quality of the drops.

Of course, more magic find is really only noticible over the very long run, which allows you to hear the boring complaints of people complaining that they have 2340 mf and still never get anything.

IMO, it's nice if you can get the person with the highest MF to land the killing blows but don't stress out if it doesn't happen-- don't let that slow you down. It's not that big of a deal. In most cases, I prefer quantity over quality, except of course when you deal with those few unique guys that can drop the very best.

Of course, I haven't played this game in a year and a half plus my original cd is missing >.< but I think I should know what I'm talking about. ;p
