This happened to me as well, I spent the best part of 2 weeks trying to get the Demon Skirt of Healing. Switched to Bard, and guess what dropped from Cerberus.

That's okay, at least you're all re-running the dungeon, all for the purpose of preserving the longevity of the dungeon and game, even if it'll cost your sanity and patience.

So those of you who started atma after drop increase count yourselves lucky, lol

RNG was actually good to me when it came to gearing Bard in WoD, got hat/chest/feet with the first or second run each week while it was loot locked, never lost a Need roll to another Bard. So then I swap to Dragoon which was my worst geared lvl 50 and have run it over and over for weeks and weeks without seeing any Dragoon gear and I wonder if it even exists. Well except for the head piece which I've seen drop multiple times once I got it, but not even a stupid belt other than that.

Thing is I'd actually like to try running this on classes OTHER than Dragoon, like SMN or BLM or SCH to make it more interesting, but I'm stuck on DRG until I can actually get some damn gear for my class cause if I run on a different class, DRG gear will drop and I'll lose it on a greed roll to someone who doesn't have it leveled yet.

I think there must be a system that figures out what people are trying to get and then intentionally withholds it for a certain number of runs and drops gear for classes people in the party don't have instead. The ratio of monk gear to all the rest is absurd.

WoD is seriously starting to annoy the hell out of me with the bad drop rates.

In the last 7 runs, and this is no exaggeration, I've had only the Fending belt drop on the first boss. Overall since WoD was released, for the first boss, I've only seen Healer gloves and the rare Casting hat drop. I mean, seriously what the hell? This isn't really isolated to the first boss, I've had similar experiences with all of them! Perhaps SE's RNG algorithm is borked?

Either increase drop rate variety, or the number of items dropping per boss, or introduce a token system! Please!

When I was spamming WoD on summoner to finish my last Mahatma, the bard body dropped three times in a row and I didn't win any of them because a bard rolled need or my greed roll was like 13. So I finished my Mahatma and got my Zeta. The next run of WoD I did on bard, and no bard stuffed dropped. Then I got the high allagan cleavers from my first T9 clear (late to the party I know) and decided I should gear up ninja. So I ran as ninja and no ninja gear dropped, but guess what dropped to mock me? The bard body. -_- I rolled a 1. Crossed my fingers that no one else had rolled greed but of course I couldn't be that lucky.

This piece doesnt exist. Ive never seen it. The 1 time i seen the boots someone with the augmented 130s won the roll. LOL So chilling in my amonz till infinity.

I got the BRD chest the first night WoD came out. In the first week I got the waist, hands, and hat. Just got legs last week thought, so I guess my luck ran out lol. I did also manage to get BLM/WHM robe and full tank gear within the first month of WoD being released.

Saw karma at work in WoD a few nights ago, I'm running on SCH on my alt for first time... instance starts, bard #1 says hi, bard #2 says 'Look at this trash bard with their strength accessories to get in, and I'm sure they'll be the one to get the bard chest, someone kick this trash bard etc etc.'. I have a feeling this person uses their kicks frequently since they were calling for others to kick vote someone lol but anyway... regardless of them having a point about someone using the wrong type of accessories to get in, they were toxic whereas the other person was at least nice and someone else in the party warned them about it. After the first boss and trash mob they still said to alliance 'make sure you kick the people using the wrong accessories' and someone in my group finally kick voted them. I decided to abstain the first time since I had a feeling the WHM I joined with was the one who initiated it and I wanted it to pass or fail based on how the rest of the party felt, knowing I could always rekick if it came to it. Kick passed.

Later in run, the bard chest dropped. Bard #1 rolled a 15 and got it. If Bard #2 had just kept their mouth shut, odds are super high they would have gotten it, not that they'll ever know that.

Has anyone on here tried loot farming, it can be very effective. It's taken a while, with no less strain on my sanity, lol, but I basically have full sets, just missing the Ninja body and tank gloves. Technically, I don't have the healer/caster sets, besides the skirts, but I main Sch/Smn, so they were geared with poetics stuff first. But back on topic, yeah if people do loot farming, getting gear is pretty easy, providing the rest of the alliance isn't bad. You just call "dibs" on 2 pieces, and run the raid. If siad piece drops everyone else passes. Should anything else drop we always stated if we were passing, and those that wanted it asked. Its pretty effective if youmcan get people together, and it's awesome if you can get a whole alliance; did that once and it was awesome.
