short and sweet topic i cant be the only one bored of farming the same dungeon 30-60 times in hope for a trinket can i? (trying to gear alts) quit last season due to farming 1 trinket to get bis to never see it…
i mean i get blizz dont want it to be a cake walk and want to increase longevity of your game play but ive just had enough of farming the same 2 every day.
Then dont. Its an alt.
I get it that a BiS trinket will give you 1% more DPS than the 2nd best BiS trinket. But its not worth the pain if your not having fun.
Just run M+ for fun. When your not looking at it, it will drop.
I agree with you.
After a certain time passes into a patch, Blizzard should enable a more deterministic item drop mechanism so people can gear their alt and continue playing/enjoying the game.
WoW is very seasonal so having such a mechanism in place after, say, 6 or 8 weeks into a patch, will not create issues.
its not only about bis trinket but general trinket drops.
i mean i am ilvl 480 with a ton of dungeon ran over the course of S3 and I am still running around with rainsong because I didn’t even get any second trinket to equip xD
“A lot” accoding to your perspective. 50 dungeons in 10 weeks time. I have ran 150 in 10 weeks and im drowning in gear. Literally. I have 2 WM trinkets, 5 repeat belts. 2 stafs from DOTI, 3 hammers from doti… Just to name a few.
I have seen ALL trinkets drop multiple times already. So you dont have to play as much as I do.
And the funny thing is: I just played for fun. Nothing more, nothing less. And in that process I never felt like: “oh no, I cant time XXX key because I dont have YYY trinket”. Also, all my gear just… droped… Never farmed for it.
And especially like OP and you, where you mainly run keys ~20. You 100% dont need BiS trinkets. Rainsong works fine. And if you want to change it with say… the EB trinket… stary by going to EB more than 6 times. Unlike AD where you have been there atlease 22 times.
And the AD trinket im 100% sure you have seen it drop atleast once. And according to WoWHead (dont know squat about MW monks) its B tier. Above rainsong.
But ether way, 1 trinket out of your whole kit wont make or break a 20 key. Just play, have fun, enjoy… and eventually your trinkets will drop.
But if you really want to get serious, play the dungeons that actually drop the things you want. 
I did a lot more than 150 dungeons over my several characters I would imagine and besides my priest who got 2 trinkets from vault, I don’t think I saw a lot of trinkets dropping for me =)
Not saying I need it, obviously I timed all 20s already in 470 or whatever gear anyways, but the goal certainly is to replace the trinket. I not very bothered by it anyways, but it drops my avg. ilvl by a lot which made invites harder
Each character is a separate probability. Its the “price” you pay for playing multiple characters.
Not that there is anything wrong with doing that. Its clearly something fun that you enjoy, and there is no reason to stop doing so.
But it does come with a price that all the gear that would otherwise be funneled to 1 toon gets spread out to multiple toons. So it gives the illusion that stuff never drops.
I play only 1 toon. And all the rewards get funneled to that 1 toon. So im drowning in gear and have multiple repeats of every single trinket there is to have.
Two things:
(A) here is a trick: Equip a hero level trinket instead of the rainsong. Any one will do. It will boost up your ilvl in the LFG tool.
Once your invited, before the dungeon starts just swap back to rainsong. Nobody checks your ilvl once you are in the group.
Thats how I did it when I was walking around with Rashok from S2. Works like a charm.
(B) I just checked WoWHead for MW monks. And in their tier list they say that the trinket from AD (not very useful IMO) is “B tier” and better than Rainsong just for the extra 300 intellect it gives, which is better than a Haste proc which is active only 25% of the whole combat (~ +300 haste on average).
Maybe Rainsong is not as good as you might think. You tell me. Im curious to know if WoWHead is right. I know nothing of MW monks. Just asking out of curiosity.
Also because clearly your BiS trinket never dropped in your case. But I refuse to believe that ANY trinket never doped. Its just so terribly unlucky its hard to believe. Am I wrong here?
