Does anyone have a smiliar experience?
I have been running BFD for weeks now on 2 different characters. One is a clothie and the other a leather wearer. I have a fair number of clears by now, and in all of them I have NEVER seen a cloth set item drop.
I have seen mail. I have seen leather, both agi and int versions. I have seen a LOT of leather. But never a cloth set item.
It has become a meme on my server. People saying that cloth set items are a myth.
Is this my bad rng, or is this someting more people experience?
We run 2 guild raids every reset, + I make a pug every reset. Our mail wearers mostly pass on gear now, since they already have it. Our leather wearers have their MS gear and are collecting OS gear. Meanwhile our clothies are using SFK robe.
Please tell me that its only me who has angered rngsus somehow, and that there is hope for redemption if I just repent my sins.

It’s just RNG, I literally got everything aside 2 items - epic staff and ring in my first 3 runs of BFD.

Yes, exactly the same here
I always see majority mail, then some leather, but been running BFD on a few characters for the past few weeks and now you mention it, I think I recall seeing one cloth tier piece, but must have seen the leather bits every time I go in

2 resets ago I got the caster chest on my druid. Then last reset I got the head. It dropped 2 more times that run, and no one wanted it. The feral druid already had it. Another time before that, when I was on my lock, I saw leather drop from every single boss that can drop tier. We were sharding it by the end, and that was early last week.

In the last three runs I’ve seen drop 4 cloth pieces. In the same time I’ve seen like 16 mail pieces (only usable by warriors in horde) and the rest are leather drops. I’ve yet to see the purple staff in the 6 runs I’ve done.
It’s becoming so boring to run this easy raid without any deaths and get no loot and then having to wait 3 days. If it was a little challenging I would find it more fun.
4 cloth pieces, or 4 set item cloth pieces? Ive seen a fair bit of non set cloth items, but the set? Never.
I’ve seen the epic sword drop once. The epic crossbow 2 times. Never the staff.
Yeah cloth gear must have a much lower drop rate. I have 3 toons that I clear BFD on every reset. I’ve seen the cloth pieces only 2-3 times.
I saw the cloth set helmet only one single time on my warlock.
Never seen the epic staff. Never seen the set chest.
yet the damn druid leather caster gear seems to drop 8/10 times. Its disgusting.
Looking at this wowhead page, I notice that none of the set items have a % drop chance listed.
Do note, however, that the epic sword has a drop chance of 8,37%, The epic crossbow a drop chance of 7,30%, and the epic staff a drop rate of 5,68%.
I assume these numbers are calculated from what has dropped so far,. and the differences aren’t huge. But it paints a picture. Add to this that there are pretty much only 2 classes/specializations that want the sword (3 if you count hunters), and 3 that want the crossbow. Hunter, warrior and rogue.
Meanwhile there are 6 classes/specializations that want the staff. Heal priest and dps priest (not that I’ve seen many of those). Balance and resto druid. Mage, and warlock.
In any given raid, there are easily as many staff users as there are classes that want other weapon types combined.
Blizzard probably has statistics over what has dropped so far. I wonder if there is somewhere we can find it and have a look at it.
Edit: As I play alliance, I left out shamans. They can use staffs too, can’t they? So add 2 more specializations competing for the staff on horde. Elem and resto shaman.

In my 22 runs across all characters I only saw epic staff once, but epic sword I saw at least 7 times… Also most of the loot usually mail or leather for caster/healer
Nice moustache.
Have 3 chars, caster seems hardest to gear and i actually have SFK robe too lol.
SFK robe gang…
I swear I don’t believe the cloth set chest is even in the game. I have never seen it drop in like 40 runs of bfd at this point ( I have 3 toons)
it has NEVER dropped… and never seen the staff either. But I’ve seen the epic sword 6 times and the crossbow twice.
did 13 runs on my pala (retri) never seen epic sword, on 10th run i’ve finally got FATHOMBLADE
I also have priest, did 6-7 runs, haven’t seen epic staff or setpieces also, funny thing
Had a run today where most of the loot was cloth (around 45proc). Just RNG.
I think mail drops were the most common for me but I cant complain. Im only pants & belt away from being fullbfd bis as cloth user so I gues its just your bad luck.
Or maybe your exceptionally good luck. Grats on almost full bis mate.

Now we are on some hard stuff. Guess warrior and rogue have a range talent tree now
BFD loot table is horrible and bosses don’t drop enough items.
I had 3 same helms droop 2 days ago , like really?
They have ranged weapon slot. So they will want a ranged weapon, if course. Personally I would never give them epic crossbow if there was a hunter in the raid who needed it. Just as I would not give a hunter the sword if there was a melee in the raid who needed it. Melee hunter might be a thing in p2, but for now its just a meme.
Bad RNG. Yesterday I ran a BFD guild run and we got 3 of the same tier leather boots and nobody didnt need them so felt kinda bad but thats just the way it is sometimes
