Hi, playing a necro this season, level 90 right now, seen every unique at least 6 times , a few of them more, except the one i need for my build, the ring of mendeln.
Is this really how its meant to be, not seen one at all. See others posting that a build defining item they needwont drop for them yet they get countless others that they dont want.
Is this meant to be like a labour camp with no reward?
If it makes you feel any better I found my first razorplate yesterday and scrapped it by mistake 
Ouch… I feel that.
Its look like i am lucky one. I play druid i already have all good rolled uniques and 2 builds that i can swap at any moments. And what is fun i am not even lvl 80. I feel like leveling afterwards is so boring. That even with good build i don’t want to waste so much time .
So i have 0 carrot that push me to level up. At least you can level up for hoping getting some items. Most uniques drop for me in NM dungeons lvl35+ >>don’t do below it
i recommend to do lvl 40+ so your stats will be ok on item.
How do you known it even exists for “your” build… if you haven’t found whatever it is?

Is that a serious question?
He’s totally serious, he thinks you are a cheater for looking up what items are in the game. Lolz
Some people like to play and discover build themself perhaps. I don’t want to waste so much time by sitting and reading every skill and every aspect. If you are short on time you literally have no time for that>take first build from internet and rock the monsters,
Nothing wrong with discovering the builds yourself and nothing wrong with looking up what rewards you might expect for investing time into this game, each to their own. I might not have played Druid if I didn’t know there were items that permanently transform you, it was something to look forward to and I played this game longer than I would of looking for this item, I never got it 
Fun?
This threads topic is about the rate of rewards in this game for time invested. (Not questioning how the player happens to know said item exists).
They’ve made the itemisation of this game the worst of all ARPG’s I’ve played. Not fun.

I’ve seen countless posts/reviews like this. They failed with the itemisation in this game, a chore, an endless grind with no end in sight. Countless items dropping that could all be potentially good but 99.9% being bad.
One of the main draws of RPGS is the loot, it just feels so bad to play and get nothing for your time. If you dont want to look up builds, good for you. Im happy you are enjoying creating what ever master piece you came up with, but there are plenty of guides out there and date bases showing items. Maybe you didnt know this NIDCLXVI ? Happy to have helped some one today!
If its same drop as rest of the lege items and their powers,you need to change build in order to get the ring.
Idk if you noticed,but when you play certain spec,you are not getting lege powers for spec you play. 99.99% of the time you get something for other spec.
Today was the second time,in 26 days i got resource when i cc mob and it was 1 our of 4,same as last time,20 days ago.
I get lege powers for my the spec i play once every few days (bone) its blood/shadow most of the time.
I dont get those build defining uniques and their drops…with bit of PoS luck,you might not even get the unique you need for the full duration of season.
I feel sorry for people who play casually,because they can kiss their uniques bb.
I highly doubt that is how it works and it’s just RNG that you aren’t getting relevant items, in your experience… you’re just not getting the items, that is the issue.
And if it’s not… wtf is this stupid mechanic!? Can’t get items for your build? Wow they just keep piling up the fun in this game!
Idk about uniques,but man, i swear to God,as a bone necro i never get bone aspects.Once every few days.
I still have codex of power tendrils one because i cant get even slightly better one.
Im getting only blood/shadow items.
I made topic about this,and everyone who replied had the exact same issues as me.
PS : This hasn’t been happening for a few days,this is happening since D4 release.
I have tried to find Ring of mendeln for a long time now. I have a summoner build and without it the build is unplayable. After patch I can’t even run Tier 4 night dungeons. So where the edited by moderation I can find it. Playing in PoE is must more easier because of trading, you can make very good builds. Trading in this game is much worse than in D3. Somebody says after Beta, that you shall see this game is not so good that is looks. He was fully right about that. Leveling after patch is much harder,. I don’t have no interest to level any more characters in D4. I must contact Overgear, to have what I need it only cost money. They really can find every unique Items in this game and fast. The TeaM has ruin this game very badly. This is good Immortal 3.
I’m majority bone with reapers that have nothing put in to them. I have all the perfect aspects I need for my build and multiple of all the uniques I would want to utilize. I had them by level 70. But I do have twice as many shadow uniques then anything else…
level 94, still no ring of mendeln, but of course all other uniques ;p
I normally play bone necro and 99% of what drops is blood and shadow. I respected for blood for one day and now I have a full chest aspects for bone spec. I think it’s just another one of their retarded mechanics.
Only found 2 Melden rings so far, one was in a Nightmare dungeon, the other one I’m not even sure, must have picked up among other loots.
Nightmare dungeons have good chances of uniques, the reward items at the end are regularly uniques, I strongly recommend grinding Nightmare dungeons at the highest level you can do quickly/safely enough, but no need to push too high if it slows you down too much. Just take 10mn max for a ND, should be plenty enough to get good rares at the same time.
It does actually make sense.
This “Not so RNG” mechanic would motivate players to try different builds. If you have a favourite one and run it all the time the game gets really boring really fast. But by tempting people into respecing, it creates variety and reduces boredom which increases player engagement.
It isn’t so much fun for me to play using skills that don’t suit my play style though.
I would prefer to keep my build and be able to have more objectives with rewards that motivate me to complete them and I like it when I find gear that suits my build.
I may have gotten lucky because technically I use blighted corpse explosion, minions and bone spear.
From start to WT4 I placed most of my skills and power into the shadow damage then once in WT4 I respec so all of my power goes to bone spear.
I did find all of my prefect bone spear aspects and bone uniques before level 60.
I just now remembered that Blizzard is lazy.
I wonder when I change only my key passive in the skill tree, if that will have an effect on the “RNG” 
But this would mean I would need to play the game 
I think there must be same kind of balance to find uniques. I have found 10 unique staff, 10 unique amulet, 10 unique chest, 10 unique pant, and so on. They was all the same. I am sure that with this 75 days play time you have to find ONE ring of mendeln. But like I say before PoE is better. If I don’t find, I always can bye. I like to play with sor ( level 100) and Necro ( level 75 ). If I don’t get good items for my puilds, I change the game. In this way it happens very soon.
