Maelstrom Defending Weapons

Am I the only one that literally ONLY gets defending weapons?

My inferno, dagger, 2h axe, 2h sword, 2h maul, and 1h axe are all Defending.

I just did two runs back to back and got defending weapons both times. What gives??

This is the craziest RNG ever!!

    This thread is Charged with some very Sharpened comments regarding the Defending trait.... However, some of you need more Training in order to be a little more Precise with your analysis. This will lend Weighted to your opinion.
    This whole thread has Infused me with a desire to hear from @ZOS about the drop rates in vMA.

    Defending isn't a very good trait for a dps IMO

    Now imagine Spiderman is a DPS who has defending on their weapons and is able to outlast you cause they have better defense.

    These kinds of posts are why the Forums must have a LOL button asap... haha you guys gave me a great laugh thank you very much.
    If I die tomorrow I do not want to think of the game I could of played today, therefor I will play whatever I want today while securing a future to play in as well.

    A true gamer will think of all the possible outcomes and execute the one that is the hardest to accomplish.

    What i don't get ? that people want to farm for RNG weapons of one specific trait out of 8 ? They kinda deserve the frustration if you ask me.

    It's you, op :p . I only have 1 defending weapon, an ice staff. I seem to have great rng with traits, but *** rng with weapons (50 or so runs, 0 daggers or axes).

    lmfao you really don't get it. please stop

    Really they need to fix this loot system...you get the same stuff from the last chest that you would get in the first chest. reinforced winterborn sash, well fitted hunt bracers, defending bow....because i want to snipe people with my defending bow? The rng is terrible you can do vma 5 times and get not one vma weapon...it takes and hour to do and you can't sell anything so most the time your wasting almost a stack of spell pots just to get that reinforced winterborn sash.

    Also my main is a stamplar i can clear but it is not easy...I had a much easier time on my redguard magicka nb with level 1 resto...seriously balance this place.

    The hate I have for this place is real once I get what I need I will never be back in this single player un balanced mmo content :/ gg wpn swap.

    Every master weapon I ever got from VDSA was defending. In VMA, I am batting a thousand on defending for all my stam weapons. My magic weapons have all been sharpened or precise. (Dear RNGesus, I dont need any more Resto Staves)

    It's really frustrating. Traits on weapons make a big difference. A VMA weapon in Defending is pretty much Decon material...
