You're doing this thread wrong champ. Rng only blesses you if you make a rant thread BEFORE looting. Wait till you get 2 agrees and 3 commemts on how hopeless even trying is.

Sofar doing this exact thing has gotten me:
Sharpened dagger
Sharpened inferno (I know I know but I'll never use it)
Charged bow

I needed dat bow.

Errrr... Just got yet another restoration staff. This time sharpened. Haven't seen a destruction staff in that final chest since.

Hopefully I can get a sharpened Maelstrom's Inferno Staffor sharpened Maelstrom's Lightning Staff for 1 of my weekly rewards. So far I have 3 characters on the leaderboard. ._.

After doing VMA a few times since Homestead has gone live on PS4, my drops have been as followed:
- Maelstrom Sword and Maelstrom Shield
- Maelstrom Restoration Staff
- Maelstrom Restoration Staff
- Maelstrom Bow

Weren't those 3 weapons supposedly decreased in likelihood that they'd drop, according to the patch notes...? Granted I've received 2 ice staffs in the weekly rewards, as well as both axe and dagger — that's besides the point. That's not loot gotten from the last chest. Anyone else experiencing something similar?

four runs yields three different weapon types... sounds like reasonable odds to me.

Out of curiosity, why decisive and not sharpened? You're aware that sharpened vastly outclasses decisive, yes?

It is not. Actually weapons are not limited to sharpened trait. There are a lot of builds and interesting things which needs another trait (decisive in this case). And its really funny that people do not see anything except meta sharp
That is why the chances of getting any trait must be the same.

But the vma sword is completely trash, so why would you even want it in a desirable trait? You are either giving up your second 5 piece set (alkosh or ebon), or missing out on master sword which is 100% superior.
