I'm really trying to get the daggers or axes but at this rate it seems it's the staves I keep getting

Same, and the bow. For me the drops come in like cycles. One week, mainly resto staffs and destro, next week will be 1hs+shields and 2h's. Just waiting for the *** week i get 1h + bows, but it aint happening!

still one destro and i got over 200 run im the 1st on ps4 maybe it depends on the system but i really feel like after 70 + weapons i should get more then 1 destro.

I have exactly the opposite problem, i could literally supply half of the AD with sharpened lightning (probably around 15, i've lost count after i started to deconstruct them), but i've yet to see an ice staff, like any ice staff. That being said, i'm definitely over 70 runs, it's just bad RNG, nothing else.

about 60 runs and 50 +weeklys:
Dropped all weps. and destr. staff 5 ice 2 fire 1 lightning. 1 of my friends dropped fire , ice and lightning after only 6 runs and 0 weekly, and another friend ,dropped fire staff sharp @ 3rd run chest of vma, I was mad. RNG god is strong here.

OP MMO's have RNG (random... being the key word here) for a reason.

It doesn't work 50/12 I should have at least 4...

Nope it's random.

Frustrating but it's a part of MMO lifestyle, if you were to get what you wanted in a month what would you do then? Probably stop playing :P Now you play because you want it. ( the last parg. is how MMO devs justify RNG)

Personally I don't mind it, I have been lucky in GW1, WoW and I will be lucky here, it's just a matter of time

Yeah, it really is as simple as that. Just another threat where someone is not happy with his/her drops rates. People should really start to understand that not everything happens in a day.

you should read more carefully...a day lol...3 months since release...let me bet ? you never finished Maelstrom arena right ? kiss

"I do not complain about anything, if there is something i do not like, i just keep away" well with that in the signature for sure we have here real fighting spirit. If you dont like something : fight it and try to change it, coward...

I notice there's a few rare lucky guys here, trying to convince us that the drop rates are balanced and blah lol.

But for the rest of us mortals, we need to get at least 3-5 each of:

Defending/Precise Ice staff
Defending/Precise Restoration staff
Sword and Shield
Defending Bows

Before precise or sharpened Inferno staff drops

A lot of us noticed that we encouter wierd random paterns, like cycles...not only in VMA...( you know the 2 gold keys from the dailies prison or tower : 2 exactly same shoulder for example, what are the *** probabilities to get that ??? )

And i have enough things to do in the game ( pvp when, for example, its not unplayable...) to enjoy it without to have to farm the VMA like hell...3 months to have the last sets/weps is more than enough, its good to have new content and its good too to be abble to use it...TO...have fun...only that...

I don't think its just RNG seriously .

The probability of getting 1 ice destro out of 70 weapon + is less then winning at the power ball.
I got more then 5 copy of each weapon i had over 10 bow 10 2 handed sword 10 2 handed mace etc.
I got every other weapon at least 5x except for the destro that i only dropped once.

There is 3 type of destro which mean i should have much more chance of getting any kind of destro then for exemple the resto staff that i have in 10 copy.I understand that there is ''bad luck''factor but i don't think the % of the weapon drops are not well balanced.

There is 12 weapon x 3 trait that means 36 possibility of weapon drop.9 of them are from destro. that leaves 27 other type of weapons.It would be about 3% chance to drop any kind of weapon with a specifique trait on it. So basicly 9 x 3 % would be around 1 weapon out of 4 should be a destro the odds of 1 weapon out of 70 weapon is impossible if all weapon have the same amout of drop chance.

I understand that people that complain about the rng but at this point its no even rng .
