Draugrkin lightning staff drop rate bugged?

I don’t know if this is intentional, but for some reason after running unhallowed grave literally 50 times I still have yet to have ANYONE in the group get a draugrkin lightning staff.

I’ve gotten two precise frost staves, a flame staff, countless restoration staves, but not once has a lightning staff dropped. What is the deal here? Has anyone received a draugrkin lightning staff at all or did the developers miss it in the drop table?

    Just curious why you want one. Isn’t this a single target set similar to Spell Strat? You said you already had an Inferno Staff.

    On magplar running a draugrkin lightning is still good since it buffs your jabs.

    To OP:
    I've had 2 so far so it definitely drops. When farming unhollowed grave make sure to always do the side bosses since the last side boss (the big flesh colossus) can drop weapons and there can be an extra chest in that room as well.

    If you're somewhat lucky, you can get 4-5 chests/run in unhollowed grave.

    I would also like to add that discounting chests and the final bonus boss, the odds of someone in the group getting a lightning staff should be about 1/12.

    Probably to run it on a support build with the lighting staff on the back bar.

    To answer everyone saying inferno is better against single target, aoe dots tick twice as fast as single target dots, so they get far more effectiveness out of the draugrkin set. The only single target damage in my 42k (would be 46k with lightning staff) build are my light attacks. Hence my need for a lightning staff.

    Interesting, I don’t use jabs often. Even on Magplar your top 2 sources of damage are both single target: Light Attacks and beam. Then you have Purifying Light, Burning Light, enchant procs, etc. all getting buffed by Inferno. Seems like more than 50% of damage is single target still, not to mention the bonus damage on Wall of Fire and the possibility of the Engulfing Flames debuff increasing all Fire Damage in a group.

    Just checked my 6 mil parse, and 51.5% of my damage is aoe in nature. Mind you that is with the bar I am on 70% of the time being an inferno staff vice a lightning staff.

    UPDATE: lightning staves do drop from unhallowed grave. But it is ONLY from chests. I am wondering if ANYONE has ever gotten a draugrkin lightning staff as a BOSS drop in unhallowed grave. I legitimately think it is missing from the drop table.

    I got 2 Lightnings from Kjalnar. Also every other draugrkin item except 1h Axe. Did over 200 runs the past 5 days. Might just quit at this point.
