There are a lot of things in this game that "work". You don't run vMA 200 times for something which isn't "super optimal" but "works" though. But I'm sure people like @Artis are going to tell people like the OP how everything's fine and dandy quite soon again.Main characters: Feanor the Believer - AD Altmer mSorc - AR 50 - Flawless Conqueror (PC EU)Idril Arnanor - AD Altmer mSorc - CP 217 - Stormproof (PC NA)Other characters:Necrophilius Killgood - DC Imperial NecromancerFearscales - AD Argonian Templar - Stormproof (healer)Draco Imperialis - AD Imperial DK (tank)Cabed Naearamarth - AD Dunmer mDKValirion Willowthorne - AD Bosmer stamBladeTuruna - AD Altmer magBladeKheled Zaram - AD Redguard stamDKKibil Nala - AD Redguard stamSorc - StormproofYavanna Kémentárí - AD Breton magWardenAzog gro-Ghâsh - EP Orc stamWardenVidar Drakenblød - DC Nord mDKMarquis de Peyrac - DC Breton mSorc - StormproofRawlith Khaj'ra - AD Khajiit stamWardenTu'waccah - AD Redguard StamplarAll chars 50 @ CP 1900+.

How do you compare RNGs and which one is the worst? All drops are random - that's the best RNG. You're just frustrated because you didn't get what you want. The root of your suffering is the attachment to desire. Let it go and you won't be frustrated.
vMA weapons are weaker than they ever were, now that more DPS is due to attack after they raised their damage, the percent difference that vMA staves give you is smaller than before. You can play just fine without that particular staff. Not that any other staff is easier to get, except for crafted ones.0 -

✭RNG is horrendous in this game. At this point I don't even bother with trying for even a particular type of weapon, let alone trait. I have run countless numbers of dungeons looking for various items, and while it is very draining after 10 runs and not getting the body pieces you were looking for, that has nothing on the prospect of getting the weapon you want. If you're lucky, it takes you 20 minutes of finish a dungeon (vMA is not one of those lucky cases) for exactly 1 chance to get the item you want in the dungeon. More likely than not, you get a jewelry piece in the wrong set. I've been through at least 100 runs of CoA looking for that unicorn, hoping even for the unicorn of unicorns in sharpened. I've opened 300 boxes costing me upwards of 3m AP without getting pieces that I want, completely disregarding traits. It's just a mess.
You already have the crafting UI that lets you select the item among a set then chose the trait. Please, get off your lazy asses and apply something like this to drops. There are too damn many items in each and every loot table. Stop saying it's too hard. Do something about it.

Some RNG is good and even necessary, but the RNG in this game - when it comes to set items and weapons - is, due to the amount of useless traits, ridiculous.
This is one of my main issues with this game.

✭RNG. A thing where some people may do over 1 million runs and not get it, and that case can actually be true.
Pseudo-Random Distribution. A thing where people are usually guaranteed to get it.
Make it Pseudo-Random on traits. So if you get a defending, you have a higher chance of not to get it.
I'd honestly suggest Pseudo-Random rotations of traits, so if you get decisisve, you most likely will get defending, then most likely to get sharpened..
Then again, Pseudo-Random isn't easy to code/implement apparently. And some developers use SQL databases for it. that *** you gotta be careful with.Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 25 DLCs. 41 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game.1 -

No. That would ruin PvE. Token systems need to be implemented.. in every zone, every trial, everything.

You´ve got to use blockade on vma staff. No need to HA with it to get the extra attackbonus.3 -

When people think rng is a learn to play issue have no clue because they got lucky. Has nothing to do with ltp. It's every part of this rng game because Zos thinks that the eternal grind will keep people playing, which means more real life cash for Zos.1 -

well i think crafted staffs are good to if he cannot reach hes goal yet. the julianos staves are still doing a prity good job. And ofc he can craft it in lightning ans harpered too or buy one from guild vendors. they are not that expensive.
This is just my opinion.
Do not give up the hope my friend, keep tring it. have some break, go out side between runs. clear your head, enjoy the nature, relax a bit, listen a music or watch a film. And try it again.
don't let your fustration to take you over
You are going to get that staff i know it And you know it too.
Take my advice and trust in it. it works.GM Of The Lusty Argonian ERPGM Of THe Alessia Dynasty PVP GuildGM Of The Guardians Of MiddleEarthMy Smiling Emperor Profile Picture: https://ibb.co/bsOM6n1 -

✭✭✭✭✭I've been running vMA for almost 16 months. My pace has waxed and waned, but I've been getting weekly leaderboard mails every single week for over 15 months.
My first sharp fire came pretty early, within my first month of running.
And then for 15 months, I never saw another sharp fire again...
...until recently, when I got 3x sharp fires in less than a month--and the last two dropped in two consecutive runs, back-to-back.
In all this time, I still haven't gotten a sharp lightning, though.
@Artis will tell you at RNG is fair. Yes, it is fair in the same way that winning at slot machines is fair: everyone no matter how good or how bad you are have the same chance of getting lucky and have the same chance of getting royally screwed. There are no weighted dice here. But the real question is whether luck--even if it's fair luck--is an appropriate mechanism for rewarding an activity that is based on skill.

Idd make every run drop 1 token + the normal drop and then a merchant with all the drops and costs around 5+ tokens so you know that you will get the drop for sure after a certain amounts of runs.Sorcerer 307 CP atm
