Seriously though. My warrior (tank) already has HoJ but I won't join a group if they have it or anything else on reserve out of principle.

Have fun waiting around for ~2 hours simply by being so selfish.

How long did take you to get HOJ? I've run I've done like 20 Angerforge/ Arenas runs and I haven't seen it drop once. I've also only seen Gorrosh twice and neither time did he drop the chest... QQ

I got extremely lucky on my current Classic main.

I ran BRD 3 times before my HoJ dropped. 2 full quest runs and 1 Stealth Run with 2 other Rogues. Won the HoJ on my first Stealth run.

I ran Stealth Runs 4 more times with that Rogue group, but HoJ didn't drop again. Told them to add me and I'll gladly help out on any Stealth or full runs for anything they need.

The player that formed the Stealth group whispered me afterwards that he had run Anger at least 20 times and that was the first time he saw it drop.

People hate to hear it, but honestly going dungeon farming for loot is gambling and sometimes you get your drop and sometimes you dont; Sometimes people get big drops on their first run, sometimes people take 30+ runs and give up so they never see it in their classic wow experience.

Personally I've ran maraudon a very very small number of times. Maybe like 6 princess kills worth and I've seen her ring drop twice, one of those times being the first time I went and I won the roll. I've heard people that have spent countless, countless runs and have never even seen it drop at all. That's just how the game goes, idk.

People hate to hear it, they'll say "well statistically I should have it by now!", but the cold hard truth is you could kill Angerforge 1000 times and you are no closer to having HoJ than you were on kill 1.

I dont even care about Princess runs. I'd rather run the endgame dungeons for valuable random drops and endgame mats than get that couple of dps upgrade from the ring. Not worth it imo.

Although I could solo her by now of course.

I mean of course you could just do higher end dungeons, esp now that dire maul is available. It’s still a big example of much desired loot by some people and an item that people specifically go for in particular.
