    Hello there. I came to play after r134 and since ID is free, i decided to give my mini SM and SW the Heredur Unique. However, this easily dropped unique Hasn't dropped for SW and SM even after 50+runs in each char. Whereas it dropped 2 times in 10 runs by RA and DK.
    Anyone else experiencing this?

    It's not true as heredur uniq. drops on my sw every 5-6 runs as i regularly farm him.
    And it's not that i get good drops as i rarely have gotten any legendary in my 1.5 years of farming.

    I took my SW farming for glyphs in Crypt and drop rate was horrible. Got the unique within the first 5 runs and ran it at least 40 more times and haven't gotten one since. Devs must have tampered with the drop rate of Heredur's uniques. During the Defeat the Undefeatables event and a few days after, I was getting Heredur's Fortune regularly every 5-10 runs.

    I agree. I don't know what they did but the drop rate is horrific. I cleared Map1 (Ocean of Bones) with my lvl 45 SW and lvl37 DK twice each and got two green items and two blue items both times. I haven't seen a leg or uni item drop in weeks. It seems they increased the drop rate of white items and reduced all the others. I have gear that is 10 or more lvls lower than my DK and can't get anything better or closer to his lvl to switch out. What ever you all did please put it back the way it was. At least then there were some good drops.

    Some are not getting drops like in the good old days.
    Some are getting drops as usual.
    Some are getting great drops, better than before.

    I farmed Heradur last year and stopped counting after 140 unique drops. Now I farm Hall of the Dead. The drops after the release were the best ever for me.

    Maybe they changed the triggers for the drop, and it's up to the individual to find what it is, or where it is. ;)

    I'm having better luck on my SM since the release.
    Therefore, I probably took your drops. I apologize for any inconvenience.

    Pseudo Random Number Generators are a (Please insert your own derogatory term for someone or something here). Sometimes you get lucky, other times you don't. While I agree that BP should relook their methods of "random" drops, this is not because I believe one class or another is cursed but rather their "random" drops don't seem to fit any probability model I know of.
