Weapon Drop Rates

Greetings Hunters!

So far i have cleared 3 weeks of mythics:

So that’s 9 mythic dungeons, 5 or 6 Mythic+ keys, 2 Huntsman kills, heroics and normals and 1 vault.

And still my weapon is only 155

Is the drop rate just really sucky? or is my luck just garbo?

The drop rate is the same as the drop rate for any other gear piece, but there are less weapons in the dungeon pool compared to other items.

On the raid side, it’s just RNG, but there are other factors affecting the dungeon-side of it. There are 3 ranged weapons in the dungeon pool. Every other slot except the necklace has at least 4 items in the dungeon pool.

Specific for M0, no ranged weapon drops from a dungeon final boss either, which lowers the # of chances to get a weapon from M0 slightly. In addition to this, again specifically for M0, boss loot tables aren’t balanced; using De Other Side as an example, our weapon comes from Dealer who has a loot pool of 4 items as MM/BM which means we have a 1/4 chance of the bow after we’ve been chosen for the loot - the Manastorms and Hakkar both only drop a single item for Hunters. It’s unbalanced and pretty frustrating, and I bet pretty intentional too.

So f*** me right? :rofl:

Well, if you play SV, or any other 2H class/spec, you can “easily” get Sorrowbane which is a 180ilvl weapon. Can also be obtained by a fresh 60 which is quite a nice boost.

Not kidding ive gotten 3 survival weapons just from WQ’s and Caches.

Makes me tear my hair out lol

Sorrowbane is a Strength weapon, not exactly something you should encourage SVs to use.

True, but it’s still good nonetheless, gives haste and versatility, the passive is nice too.
The only issue is the strenght, but from a 150ilvl to a 180ilvl I’d still take it.

do a few bgs and buy honor weapon, then upgrade it to 184.

Just do some bgs buy one and upgrade eit

I would honestly rather drag my balls through broken glass and spam these trash drop rate dungeons than PvP in the state it’s in right now.

It’s a good idea for those that can stomach it though :slight_smile:

Why limit yourself in this way though?

I think pvps fun… Haha I like the fast pace of it reminds me of earlier expansions of. Times past.

Fair play though but honestly. In evenening and you’ll have a 184

Why spent time doing something i don’t find fun?

When i can do something i find fun but with a dash of frustration.

I mean everyone knows hunter weapons (bows/Guns/xbows) have always had the lowest drop rate :stuck_out_tongue:

PVP is your best bet for a guaranteed weapon, and it’s honestly more fun now than it’s been since they decided to slow everything down.
