I wasn’t gonna make this thread because I don’t know if anyone else is having this problem or not, but it’s getting frustrating so here goes.
All the rare boss mobs that spawn around the Dragon Isles, like the Forgotten Gryphon, Captain Lancer, Enkine the Voracious, etc, I have to say, I’ve killed dozens of them so far across three characters, and I have yet to receive one piece of loot that I can use on the character I get it on. I keep getting polearms or plate gear on my shaman, cloth gear or a shield on my death knight, and whatever else on my monk. But not once have I gotten a drop I can equip, and these pieces aren’t even account bound or BoE, so I can’t send them across to a character that can use them.
Is anyone else running into this? What is the reason for this from a game development standpoint? As a player, it’s beyond frustrating that I have to keep vendoring high level purple gear that I get from boss drops because it’s not usable by my class.

Yes it’s become a meme in my guild chat. I haven’t seen cloth in ages. Just plate and leather nonstop. Something to it, certainly.

They all drop specific loot. So you should kill specific rares for their loot with someone who could use it. Like Captain Lancer drops a polearm, so kill him with a warrior. Not every rare will drop something for your class/spec.

I guess I just hoped that across three completely different classes, killing different rares dozens of times, that I would have received one piece of gear I can use.
I don’t look at their loot tables before I kill them, I just see them pop up and go there, but maybe I should start looking to save myself the frustration.
I feel your pain if I get anymore Plate items or warglaives Im gonna scream lol
because not all the rares (not world bosses, just rares) have usable loot for every spec on their loot table. If you get an add on like tomcats tours etc you can hover over each spawn and see whats on their actual loot table.
Most of the rares have things like tmogs, gold, dragon appearances, materials etc. They arnt really designed as a gearing method, not really anyway. As theres better gear more quickly attained via other means.
Why can’t they make epic or rare gear & weapons account bound or bind on equip instead?

and you know what’s even WORSE regarding the rares in Dragonflight? NONE of the ones i killed, like Cascade, are resetting after the daily OR weekly resets! like, after you kill them, the first time, they’re just a normal mob. HEY BLIZZARD! WHEN THE FRAG YOU GONNA FIX THE RARES SO THEY CAN RESET AFTER DAILY RESETS IN YOUR DAILY HOTFIXES, HUH?
Ended up here 10 days later because I was trying to find out why none of the rares I’ve killed are resetting.
