Took me approx. 20 runs of WP (before WP speed runs were a thing) before I even saw the kite shield drop for my PLD. And for the first 5 weeks in Coil, it was nothing but monk and dragoon drops from turns 1 and 2. Drops we couldn't even use because we didn't have a monk or dragoon in our group at the time.

Bad luck, sometimes. I didn't even bother collecting any dungeon gear on my BLM. Either the gear I needed dropped or didn't. And if by chance it did, I lost the rolls to the healers/summoners 90-ish% of the time. And the 45 min-hour long ques weren't cutting it.
