    No that's what I'm asking. It's 15% for any item that drops (or coined) to be from the shared loot table (of your spec etc), so no matter what boss you coin if you're lucky to get a "loot" then regardless of boss that has a 15% chance to be from the shared loot table. I can't find any information on it on official forums (blue posts) but in my mind this is how the shared loot works.

    Boss drops 6 items (3 if tier boss) each of those 6/3 loot "slots" has a 15% chance to be from the shared loot table.
    Don't know what the coin loot rate is but if you get loot that item should also have 15% chance to be from the shared loot table.
    I just don't see why (and how) a boss with 4 items for ret spec to have less of a chance to reward you with something of the shared loot table (again 15% on any loot piece) the only thing you're doing is if it's loot you're guaranteeing to either get that 1 shitty ring (magaera) or one of the 3-4 items off the shared loot table.

    I can't imagine it works like this.
    Coin Magaera - you get loot, now since there's only the ring for rets we get the mag rings average drop rate say 15-20%?
    Magaera ring 15%-20% drop chance.
    Shared loot table loot 80%-85% drop chance.

    oh and btw, used all my coins this tier so far. gotten prim cloak (which I'm using), ji'kun chest (vendored) and that's it. neither were HC TF.

    - Heroic TF belt
    - Heroic TF boots
    - 4 x Heroic hit ring 1 x Heroic TF hit ring

    People are doing that because it was said in this thread that because magaera only has 1 drop for rets somehow shared boss loot has a higher chance to be coined... which I think is 100% BS.

    I also agree, it definitely doesn't work the way that was said here. If it did, we'd see a lot more heroic swords and polearms.

    It might be BS, but most plate dps in my guild are doing the exact same thing.

    I never did it, personally. Just never made sense to me with the way that shared loot drops work.

    I coined it and got the ring also, so I think I learned to not do that again (albeit I'm not as progressed as most of you). My assumption is that when you coin a boss, there is a X% chance you will get an item from their loot table. So even though Megeara only has 1 Ret piece on its table, there is an X% chance you will win it; whereas a boss like Consorts who has 2 pieces of gear would have an X/2% (probably not approximate) chance of getting one of those pieces. So I believe it is all just luck, basically. It is just a theory, and as usual my theories can be totally wrong.

    WTB strength items that actually drop, we have only seen 1 belt drop so far from Jinrohk lol and then the other bosses are like Hurrdurr, lets not drop strength gear. I still dont have 4pc, and i have my meta gem sitting in my bags >.>

    No. Until Blizzard confirms it, that only applies to trinkets that don't have scaleable stats on their procs, like Unerring Vision's 100% crit chance for 4 seconds proc. Otherwise trinket procs like that wouldn't scale with ilvl.

    So its been a complete week since our new 15% buff to Sword of light. Imo this buff puts Ret on a pretty good state on PVE. Im now outdpsing a Frost Dk on my guild and topping meters most of the fights ( without 4 piece ). What do you guys think? Does this buff makes Ret the 2nd best option for Mdps ( rogue being the 1st ofc)?
