    RNG is going to bad yea I hope drops rates are better and more balanced. Given that you must have 2 tanks 2 healers in the group that gear should drop at a higher rate vs the dps sets. From what I noticed last time dps get geared out super fast while the tanks and healers are left in the dust due to the fact they have to split gear between 2 people. I remember our monk had full ilvl 90 while the tanks had 2 pieces each.

    How it actually is
    Role - Chance to drop
    Tank 1/6
    Healer 1/6
    Caster dps 1/6
    Mnk 1/6
    Drg 1/6
    Brd 1/6

    How adjusted rates should be
    Role - Chance to drop
    Tank 2/9
    Healer 2/9
    Caster dps 2/9
    Mnk 1/9
    Drg 1/9
    Brd 1/9

    You have a good point. They could do what you suggest, or maybe even make it so bard, drg and monk use the same gear. Their gear already looks the same usually anyway!

    In this coil, the drg/brd/mnk gear look very different. The reason why they haven't made changes yet, I imagine, is due to future classes that will wear similar armor to current classes.

    In other words why have the DPS fight over gear drops now when in the near future there will be even more dps for them to fight over gear for. Sure it sucks in the short term, but in the long term it is best to differentiate between the classes now. So adjusting rate of gear dropping is probably in the best interest.

    If whatever you're shooting doesn't die after you pump 8, 32 caliber, slugs into it, it's probably a dragon.

    RNG is RNG, our tanks were both equiped way before anyone else.
    So I say no to a system like that.
    Good for you that the monk in your static was fully equiped well before anyone else but I can say for our runs that there wasn't one monk piece that dropped twice in over half a year of coil and I already gave up on the gloves and weapon because they just never drop.

    Again, RNG is RNG and I agree it sucks.

    20 weeks without seeing a basic Allagan Headpiece (Healing) so I still don't have it to match lol.

    At least you got the healing tunic. Haven't seen a single tunic since November so, here I am stuck with "worst in slot" myth WHM robes.

    Myth vs Allagan is -1% casting time/GCD recast vs. about 2 HP extra on your cures. It's hardly worth getting upset about. People seem to vastly overstate how much secondary stats are actually worth.
