Tank loot

I've created a character with a focus on tanking, and after running 8 dungeons with it there is something I've noticed time and time again:
While my party members get blue drops from bosses, time after time, it seems that I would be considered lucky to strike a green item. The vast majority of the time, I get a white one!
As a tank, my focus lies more on taunting the boss and giving myself and the party damage shields. I do not damage the boss much, I know, but does that mean I do not serve the group in a manner deserving a reward?

Darrett✭✭✭✭It's just random I think. We three manned Spindleclutch with a group of 14s last night. Our Nightblade died about 1/3rd of the way through the final fight, but we managed to win anyway (just much more slowly). Both myself and our DK got a soul gem and a white glyph, but the NB got a blue bow.0

Yeah pretty sure it's random. I got 6 blue drops from bosses within my first 2 dungeon runs as a tank. Then 3 more runs without anything good.
I agree with your sentiment though. There's a lot of ways to help your group other than dealing damage. So your chance of getting loot should not depend on your damage output.0 -
The loot as a whole in this game is non-existent unless someone crafts it for you. Rarely, do I see anything drop (at all) from Dark Anchors, anything from World Bosses, and if anything is dropped from a dungeon, it's from a chest. The PvE loot (blue or higher) in this game only exists on a 10% margin of the things you do.0
