FIX World of Darkness loot drop rate

[dayspring83]

I've done WoD 17 times trying to get the healer gloves/pants and have only gotten the head/body/belt. That said, in those 17 runs I've only seen one single piece of scouting gear, the pants, so RNG is RNG. The rest of the drops were a mix of mnk/drg/caster mostly.

If I see those Healer gloves drop one more time....lol

3) Chest pieces are rare BECAUSE they're good. Look at BCOB, SCOB, and FCOB: Most of the chest pieces drop from the later coils, with none dropping in the first.

Tank body dropped from the first turn of BCoB, actually. :3

More likely, the reason the body/leg pieces are rare isn't because of their vanity. But rather, it's because they give such a major stat boost over the other left-side pieces that they try to balance the loot pools around NOT getting those upgraded to maximum ilevel until last.

The exception being, of course, as Ashkendor said - BCOB dropped it in the first boss, and this honestly felt more like it was because of the fact that they needed tanks to be a little more 'meaty.' We were still baby tanks when that first came out and everyone was learning the game. Seemed almost like a stroke of pitty to be able to get your Chest piece and see the massive jump in Tank stats. :3

It was nice to have a good piece drop from the first boss. For the last 2 raids, our chest piece has been gated behind the final encounter while other classes have theirs as early as turn 2. I really dislike it tbh. :|

In my very first run, I got my WHM feet...in my second run the next week, got my WHM legs.

In the third run the next week, didn't get my hat (the only other piece I want from WoD), but passed on quite a few other pieces that weren't only scouting gear.

[NoahArks]

Don't hear me complaining, though. I managed to get a piece of loot every 2-3 runs for my drg, since I'm gearing it up next to my brd. Haven't seen any brd loot. I'd go with the pants/chest any day, because I'm the i120 iron works stuff is useless and without deter....

[WoooBlaaa]

About 30 runs this week. I am looking for the sandals of healing. Have not even seen them drop.

And they never did that again lol...
Frankly I don't even consider BCOB's itemization since the only methodology in the loot tables that carried over to SCOB and beyond was that the last turn dropped weapons.

I think part of the problem for me is that if you want tank/healer/dps loot you almost have to run as that class which makes the repetitiveness of having to run this dungeon 10+ times a week for one piece of loot even more boring and tedious. I don't even completely hate it I'm just tired of running it as a damn healer because god forbid I try to run it as a dps now to have fun and see my healer legs drop and put a hole in my wall >.>

Fun fact: due to the loot lockout you don't necessarily need to run as the class the gear is for. I've gotten two pieces of tank gear and one piece of dragoon gear while running as BLM. The people on those jobs are likely looking for a very specific piece and won't be rolling need unless they really want it since they can only get one item a week. And other people won't roll greed on anything they don't really want for the same reason. The very first run I did, it was the tank body that dropped and only one other person rolled greed (and the tank already had his drop for the week). My other two pieces were uncontested even though there was a dragoon in the run where I got the dragoon piece.
