A Decsent Into Madness: A Player's Experience With the gods of RNG

I need to start my story with where I began in order to understand where I am currently. The first time I stepped into Torghast and I saw the Mawsworn with the flails, I knew they had to be mine… This is my journey.

9.2 Released on the February 22nd, I started this journey on the 23rd when I found out where the flails dropped.

Iska, Outrider of Ruin… drops “Chains of Infectious Serrations”
High Reaver Damaris… drops “Chilling Domination Mace”
Reanimatrox Marzan… drops “Cudgel of Mortality’s Chains”

Iska and Marzan drop the agility based flail and Damaris drops the strength based flail. I started off camping these rares with my Monk, Shaman, and Paladin. As the days started to mount up, I got some more intel and then boosted a rogue to lvl 60, thinking I would have a greater chance at it with an Outlaw Rogue…

I was mistaken…

From February 23rd to March 10th, I had killed these mobs on each my Monk, Paladin, and Shaman, everyday. From March 11th to today I have killed them with the same characters, and with my rogue.

Round 1: 3x3x16 = 144 Kills
Round 2: 4x3x3 = 36 Kills

As of today I have killed these mobs 180 times…
I have done so in every spec that was required based on wowhead.com

Monk “Brewmaster/Windwalker”
Shaman “Enhancement”
Paladin “Protection”
Rogue “Outlaw”

My loot is as accurate as I can remember… I have not kept everything but this is as close as I can recall…

10x Entropic Brooker’s Ripper
4x Staff of Broken Coils
2x Interrogator’s Vicious Dirk (Both of them on my “Outlaw” Rogue…)

even as we speak I am checking the group… while camping on my Paladin for my final kill on Damaris…

3x Aegis of Laughing Souls
1x Pillar of Noxious Dissemination (Looted in Protection on Paladin)
2x Reanimator’s Beguiling Baton (Looted in Protection on Paladin)
2x Cold Dispiriting Barricade
1x Marzan’s Dancing Twin Scythe

I have tried everything I can think of to finally get my hands on these Flails… Please understand that I know this will come across as me complaining about not getting loot. I get that and I accept that claim. However… the struggle is real and the time vested is real and there is something drastically wrong with the loot system if I am consecutively getting gear for the spec I am either not in or my loot is not set to.

So this is my journey and I will update this everyday based on what drops for each rare for me and for each character.

I will try and update it when I am done for that day. I hope this helps you all if you are struggling like I am for these drops and I hope that a developer is reading this and checks the loot table and see if there is something wrong.

I wish you all the best… back to the group search… I have entered “mar” so many times today… I bet the servers think it is a DDOS attack…

BTW: typing mar will cover both Damaris and Marzan… ISKA for the other rare.

imagine struggling with pugs for 30 mins just so you get x 4 anima and some essence flux meanwhile the lowest dps and the guy that keeps on dying get all the loot.
