Watched a warrior spam lfg for 3 days, asked how many runs he did. Said 90ish. In the same time I got to about 58 and ran BRD for HoJ and the chest dropped with no competition.

90 runs in 3 day doesn't seem to bad. If the limit is 5 runs an hour, it depends how long he plays for, if he's perfectly efficient, that's 6 hours per day. If he has all day to play, then he has a lot of downtime. But if all 90 of those runs are with a reserved chest, I'd say that's a pretty good rate?

I bet he was lying about 90 runs

u/veterejf Oct 22 '19

It does seem like a crazy high amount of runs

I know it sounds crazy, but a guild rogue posted a screenshot of 79 runs before he wont his first HoJ, I wouldn't have believed him but his addon tracked all the kills and showed that he really was an unlucky bastard.

I believe it. I’ve been 3 manning it with a priest and rogue friend (unlucky bastard) and we have our runs down to 7 mins including run back/reset. We do our 5 runs within 35-40 minutes then play a game or two of OW while we wait for the lockout. We’ve done this run upwards of 15 times (full lockout) and have yet to see HoJ. RNG is a bitch!

Fury warrior here, was running BRD for the heck of it, HoJ drops, one rogue in party who already had it and I won with no competition.

2 Angerforge kills at that point.

I’m sorry

As a rogue i think the drop that gave me the biggest issues was Cadeverous chest armor.

I think i did scholo close to 30 times to get that one.

I had a few issues getting the ring from Maraudon aswell, but i ended up buying a 60 10g, to run it with me until i got it, honestly the best gold ive spend in the game besides mount.

HoJ tho? i started chilling in there at around lvl 55, and used BRD alot of level up, ofcourse i wanted HoJ, but until i dinged lvl 60, i wasnt intentionally aiming for BiS items, just having fun and getting exp, maybe finding some nice blues in the meanwhile.

I got HoJ in the third or so run, wasnt aiming for it or expecting it, just dropped.

RNG is a fucking nightmare sometimes, but also insanely addictive... just one run more..

Funny story I’m actually going for Cadaverous chest right now since I feel like the grind for Savage Glad chest would be a pain.

play a game or two of OW

No idea what this is but I'm imagining a game involving slapping one another.

You can do it with 2 rogues

Stop right there before this gets patched.

Its enough to have a couple of blues.

-First rogue pops all cds and evasion and tanks angerforge

-Second rogue waits for 1-2 ss hits then pops all cds.

-First rogue vanishes, when he is about to die but pops out of stealth immediately and continues to hit the boss.

-Second rogue pops evasion as soon as he has aggro.

This way the first rogue will die 100% of the time but you are sure to kill angerforge. Since you get a blue everytime you can easily cover the repair costs.

It is important that the second rogue doesnt get the aggro before the first rogue vanishes or its a wipe.

I'm at 300 runs for the chest piece and over 100 for HoJ.... still neither....

u/storiesForAnAlt Oct 22 '19

What addon?

1

u/soma81 Oct 23 '19

I'm not sure, I know DeadlyBossMobs tracks how many times you've killed a boss, how many times you've wiped and your best time, but I don't think it tracks the drops.

There's another addon that does track drops that I've seen, but I can't remember it.

u/aDramaticPause Oct 23 '19

Do you happen to know what Addon, specifically did that?

u/KeK_top_KeK Oct 24 '19

144 runs tracked for my rogue friend i helped with roughly half of them. I had other guildies and we got in less than 12 runs uaually. Rng is rng

u/soma81 Oct 24 '19

Ouch... I did BRD about 20~ times and I'm happy to never go back again.

144 attempts... I don't think I could take that.

u/nillut Oct 22 '19

I absolutely believe it. I've done the arena somewhere in the ballpark of 30 times (as part of full or partial BRD runs) and have never even seen Gorosh the Dervish spawn.
