Here we go with my own experience …
I have been farming since day 1 on my Druid. So far i have never seen a single Tempest Roar unique despite farming EVERY DAY in Nightmare Dungeons (NM 42 to 50 for the most part).
If you wish to know the extent of my farm. atm i have:
- 14 days 10 h 46 m = 347 h of playtime on my druid (source d4armory)
- x19 Glyphs lvl 21
- x1 Glyph lvl 14
If we take a lvl a 45 NM dungeon granting 92 glyph XP.
This means that i ran the equivalent of 631 lvl 45 NM Dungeons
(19*3002 + 1050) / 92
Not counting all the outworld farm, normal dungeons, events, helltides, bosses … i went through.
I see 3 potential reasons:
- a really really really low droprate for a unique that should not be that rare
- a really really really bad luck streak
- a bug affecting specific characters
I’m starting to think that i’m loosing my time and just running around for no reason at this point, all my glyphs will be at max level by the end of the week end.
It would be nice to have an official statement about that issue, because there is clearly something going on.
Edit: Added playtime info
Edit2: Updated with the latest numbers (still nothing)

Level 100 with 220ish hours and not a single TR either. I did get 3 more Insatiable Fury and 1 more Vasily all in a 45 min window so there is that. I’m pretty sure ill never get it. I’ll go back to earth bear and enjoy a nice 10 min fight with Uber Lilith and then not touch druid for a long while.

Seems like they commonly drop from event chests in helltides fyi.

What do you mean commonly ? They can “officially” drop from helltides chests since literally few hours.

Not for me, but uniques drop for me so often that seeing them on the ground just doesn’t get me that excited. Seriously had a dozen of them drop in a day at the beginning of the week and probably another 6 or more every other day including 2 today in the 90 minutes I played but literally 15 seconds apart.
It is what it is. I just can’t seem to win the RNG lottery for this one specific piece.
Hell tide “events” chests. not helltide chests.
I obviously farmed this content extensively as well by running from events to events during helltides.
I’m not asking where to find TR. I’m saying that there is something wrong going on.
The chances for me to have never encountered a TR in my lengthy journey should statistically be near 0 if it had similar probability to drop than any other class uniques.
An analogy would be:
- Chose a random number between 1 and 15
- Create a list of 500 numbers generated randomly between 1 and 15
- What is the probability for you not encountering the chosen number in that list ?
- Answer in that case 1.96%
Yet people come up with stupid sentences “Random is random” when they clearly don’t understand what they are talking about.
Anyway, It seems that this issue was brought up by other people with a similar profile. Letting me think that some characters might have issues. But we will not know until someone from blizzard look into that. Hence that post. But thank you.

Random is random.
Whether you think it is stupid or not, that’s the reality.
Deal with it.

I have opened a ton of chests and haven’t seen a single uni helm at all out of them let alone a tempest as they literally just announced that you can NOW get uniqs from helltide chests
100% convinced some peoples characters including my own are loot bugged. I have over 20 visa helms and mad glee chest with no roar yet

You are correct, though it seems the chances of the Dev’s openly admitting it or the forum Trolls/Shills not abusing, stalking & harassing you for days merely for posting about it are effectively as low as the chances of you, I & others all going as long as we have without seeing Tempest Roar.
(Level 100 Druid, currently @ 144 hours played on that char)

Coming to the druid forums is like having this person acting like a dungeon affix that replies to everyone who posts about bad TR drop rates.
The moment you run away, it flies faster and chase after you.
Guess which dungeon affix

Not my fault you all have to post about the same thing, thinking you’re somehow magically bugged.
Let’s make another TR topic. It might help.

Many folks likely already put Furious on ignore. Literal troll who seems to think their witty responses and the fact they have multiple TR is the norm.
Anyways, to the topic at hand, I know myself and plenty of other druids at 100 had a similar experience. Unfortunately, there really isn’t a real solution to the issue at hand. You can’t target farm it, especially so with the changes they made for Helltide chests now and so your only recourse is at the mercy of the RNG gods, which as shown could remain a brisk never.
Speaking personally, I shelved the druid and moved on to other classes for now. I’ll come back to it for Season 1 though as I love the class.

didnt get mine till i hit 98 and instead of being happy i got it i was actually kinda pissed it took that long to drop. i hated seeing every youtuber that was lvl 62-79 already have it.

Its an issue if you need these unique to enable a build. Finding the combo point dagger on my rogue is nice but I dont need it for the build.
Not having TR or the staff hurts.

I’m in a similar boat man.
Never seen tempest drop, but I’ve had 3 of the earth helmets drop…
I feel like there should be a system in place where if you’ve had a unique of a certain item slot drop you should then have a higher chance of a different unique drop of that same item slot.
