l feel you man, no caster drops in 3 weeks now (counting this week it will be 4 if Turn 4 does not drop anything for DPS casters). I swear I see one more MNK/DRG/TANK drop and I will kick a kitten...

We are the exact opposite. All I see is brd/drg/healer gear. 3 weeks and only 1 tank piece. Our dps and heals far out gear our tanks currently
We have a hilarious drop rate on MNK gear and we have only one player who actually plays this class. Additionally we had absolutely NO caster drops for DDs until monday this week. Sadly we have no luck in the body department either, when i run around camp revenants toll i could puke because almost all the other FC's who progressed on the same speed as us seem to have multiple body drops those few weeks. What we do have lots of are accessories. The only DRG pieces who dropped are the ones i'm wearing. Healer gear three pieces so far. BRD pieces... uhm, i think zero?
Seems like our loot is like this: Almost all the time MNK > ... > DRG/Tank > ... > Healer > ... > ... > Caster > BRD ^^
Without even looking at the list, I think DRG has a large amount of items coming from Turn 1. Also if the split theory I posted yesterday about how Chest L has more items than Chest R in Turn 1, most people will probably see an abnormal amount of DRG Belts, and Caster Rings (I think we've gotten 4 DRG belts and 6 caster rings).
As far as Turn2 and 4 are concerned, they are a bit more balanced between the jobs. Its just some RNG of what drops... try a different seeder! (remember WoW, the item drops were determined the second you entered the instance and gave it that seed).
Is there a chance that the Allagan Cuirass of Striking not drop on turn 5 ?
I can't confirm it, but I spent about an hour or so checking through everyone with a pugilist at 50 from the top 15ish guilds on XIVarmoury. I saw 0 people with that item. It doesn't make it hard fact, but it was enough motivation for me to spend my tokens on the chest piece, even though I wasn't overly fond of the stat distribution on it.
Well you are on a non-legacy server so I can understand that since you probably don't have many people that are able to play multiple jobs. I think your solution is to just give it to someone whom desires to play the job at a later date and allow them to be geared right when they reach 50. Perfect example is that I play BLM on Turn-4 (MNK on Turn1, 2, 5) so I have gotten a couple Allagan drops for my BLM that the other BLM in our group has. So I just got my SMN to 50 and it went from uberweak to superstrong instantly.
With Turn 5 down for a week its a perfect time for your LS to work on getting more jobs to 50 for such opportunities.
