We tend to get a lot of Dragoon belts as well. However, recently we've been getting some tank drops so the RNG is still probably working as intended.

Actually, turn 1 is stacked in favour of Dragoons. It isn’t just people using a low sample base.
Coil of Bahamut Loot Tables
Above is a spread sheet based on the information gathered here. Each turn has 17-18 drops which are divided between the two chests. Each chest has a unique pool, so each item can only come from one of the chests.
However there is a HUGE discrepancy in the distribution of items in Turn 1. There are 13 items in the Left chest and only 4 in the Right. This means that the items in the left chest have a 1/13th drop rate (7.7%) and the ones in the right have a 1/4th drop rate (25%). And to compound this 2 of the 4 items in the Right are DRG, making it a 50% chance each run that at least 1 DRG gear will drop. And just to fully summarise Turn 1:
Tank = 30.8% left, 0% right
DRG = 15.4% left, 50% right
MNK = 23.1% left, 0% Right
BRD = 7.7% left, 25% Right
Mage = 7.7% left, 25% Right
Healer = 15.4% left, 0% Right
So DRG gear kinda has double the chance of dropping gear than everyone else. The chest distributions haven’t been fully confirmed for turn 2 and 4. I can’t fully analyse but at the moment turn 2 seems evenly distributed, but turn 4 is slightly skewed to the centre chest having a larger pool. Turn 5 is split 9/9 with weapons and armour (unless the Ancient Shields for mages drop from one or the other chest)

Holy balls someone actually applied hard data to the thread. *falls over*
Now the question becomes WHY? WHY ARE DRAGOONS THE GOLDEN CHILD IN EARLY COIL SE?!
Ok why the hell are the items split like that in turn 1? Good lord SE you literally have to make a conscious effort to be this dumb.

Dev post here confirming the loot distribution indeed being bugged. It will be fixed soon, so hopefully more differentiated drops
Cheers. That is good to know.Dev post here confirming the loot distribution indeed being bugged. It will be fixed soon, so hopefully more differentiated drops
I think to compensate, SE should allow us to trade our Dragoon belt for any piece from that same box for one time only
Because I think only the new members in our FC don't have the coil t1 belt yet...
