Three weeks straight of OEB off Golemagg. Blizz take mercy.

Vent / Gripe

For the sake of the casters please take mercy on us. We get it, you like warriors with their big ass weapons. But let the one caster weapon boss drop them please...

For real though, in 3 weeks we have had OEB drop off Golemagg. (Fairly certain the chances of this are .00156%) Moreover, the first of these 3 weeks we had THREE OEB drop in the same raid. So in 3 weeks we had 5 of these fucking swords drop.

Meanwhile, not a single ingot in 8+ weeks of clears for this guild. Not a single Brutality blade. Not a single Perditions. Not a single Talisman or ring of spell power. 8 Essence of Flame tho off Rag.

Who do we gotta kill to get a new loot table?

Meanwhile we've had 5 talismans drop in 2 raids. 6 p-blades in total. 2 complete sets of bindings (with one set dropping in the same run).

Not a single mageblade..

Ill trade you in a heartbeat. We have seen 2 mageblades in 8ish weeks. But only one staff of dom. Every other week its been the gun or oeb now.

20 percent drop rate

"only 2 in 8 clears"

Am I missing something?

edit: looks like the drops rates have been update on some DBs, and maybe its 8% now? If so, even more lucky.

Well 2 in 8 clears for this guild. In total I have seen only 2 in 13 kills.

But correct me if I am wrong here, Golemagg has a set drop table of 3-4 items with the fourth being a possible ingot. The third item will always be a weapon from the 4 possible weapons he can drop (MB, SoD, Blastershot, and OEB). Of those 4, MB actually has closer to a 25% drop rate in classic (according to various sources wowhead + vanillawowdb). The numbers on Blastershot are all over, but probably around the same as MB. SoD is just slightly higher than MB. Meanwhile OEB is supposed to be 2.7%.

This post was not saying the lack of MB was the oddity. It was the number of OEB off Golemagg. Tbh I am starting to believe the rumors that these items all have a 25% chance to drop in that 4th spot and that the %s on atlas loot and wowhead are wrong.

pretty sure SoD, mageblade and gun have the highest drop rates of a loot group that is shared with many other drops. something like 20% chance for those 3, and 5% chance for the other 8. (60 + 40)

We have had 6 MB drops and one staff of dom

We've gotten to the point where every caster has Mageblade or Staff and some are starting to replace their Staff with Mageblade. Next staff is going to a druid for off spec.

The warriors are sad.

Same story here. Think next mageblade is going to a paladin

At least in that case it's their BIS for main spec and they've probably been salivating at the thought.

meh its a nice item but not a premium drop. Mana igniting cord is definitely the premium mage drop, RoVP for warlocks, and TOEP + Choker for both. MIC is in particular the most premium mage drop, as T3 only offers +3 spell power, and a lot of guilds give up on killing CThun as soon as Naxx drops.

No mageblade, no bindings...

4 staff of dom, 4 toep, 4 ring of spellpower, 4 OEB, 1 BRE, 1 Viskag(split ony and still only 1), 1 BB, 4 CHT, 2 MIC

Mage with a Staff of Dom and not lookin back until BWL...

Loot is weird, man. We've had 6 brutality blades, 5 perditions blades, 3 core hound tooth and 3 gutgore rippers in 9 weeks of raiding MC with only 1 mageblade and 1 staff of dominance. We've also gotten 1 deathbringer and 0 viskags off ony in roughly 30 kills (we split raids for ony). Luck is luck. We've also gotten cornerstone grimoire or the ring of binding off ony like 25/30 of our kills so take the good with the bad. Oh yea, and we've gotten nemesis 12 times for our 4 locks, cenarian 10 times for our 2 druids and only one bloodfang.

My guild has a new raider "loot seed" the raid for us every run. It was my first week raiding but there were a bunch of other new raiders so I wasn't asked to seed any of our 3 raid days this week.

We fucked up Monday. One of the core raiders went in first and seeded the raid. The only useful drop we got in the entire raid was an Onslaught Girdle off Rag. Everything else went to PVP roll or was Cenarion gear.

Tuesday a new player seeded. We got a Mageblade, a Choker, tons of Warrior tier, a flameguard and another onslaught girdle.

Wednesday a new player seeded Ony and I got my mage T2 helm, we got a rogue helm and a Sapph drape.

TL:DR: have new players enter raid first.
