Your analysis would be accurate if and only if all DPS gear was interchangeable, but it's not. I can say that I have spent dozens of runs attempting to get just one item to even drop that my main can wear in the 24-main raids, and half the time when it does, I'm not the only DPS in the team that can roll "need" on the item, and about half the time, I lose my roll. Sure other DPS gear might drop, but that gear is just as useless to me as it is to the tank/healer attempting to get gear for their job.

Again roll isn't the issue.


The issue is in 1 chest there are 5 chances for dps vs 1 healer and tank item
