    Binding Coil of Bahamut Turn 5 loot bias?

    Just recently my FC has managed to down Twintania. We have manage to beat Twintania twice which is last week and the week before but we have got the SAME loot from both the chests.

    Allagan Baghnakhs
    Allagan Sollerets of Maiming

    Clearly for DRG/MNK drops only. The first time we had it was fine but to have the exact same one on the 2nd kill is killing our fun. I have also seen another thread on forums stating that Baghnakhs have been dropping 5 out of 7 of their Twintania kill.

    Is it just us? Or there is really a defect in the RNG system here?

    EDIT: To be honest in my experience with Coil, regardless of Turn 5, even Turn 1 - 4 seems to have a lot higher frequency for melee dps gears to drop. I am a melee dps but I fight coil expecting my other FC members to be able to gear themselves too but its not really happening.

    Our FC has downed t5 maybe 12-15 times total, with 4 groups clearing it. We've only had the monk weapon drop twice.

    You killed her twice and complain about "loot bias"?

    Hey bro! A sample size of two is statistically significant!

    ... Said no statistician ever.

    If they never down Twin again, then a sample size of two is A HUNDERD PERCENT! xD

    LOL at all trolls, I am just asking if anyone experiencing the same because I also cannot retrack back another thread on the drops for turn 5 too.

    Anyways thanks Chronos for clarifying.

    It's not about trolling, it's just that a whole lot of 2 kills doesn't serve as a foundation to even suspect any kind of loot bias.

    We've gotten the monk fists 3 times, the blm scepter 3 times, the drg weapon 2 times, and the paladin sword once.

    The monk fists and blm scepter seem to be the most common drops, because even in other coil groups (on our server) they drop the most-- it seems to be more than a coincidence.

    It's similar to how the turn 1 drops felt biased towards the caster ring nearly every week. Eventually it was patched.

    If the loot can be biased in one turn, it can be biased in another. They should at least look into it.

    I thought it was common knowledge that coil is biased towards DRGs
