How does the 100% heirloom drop rate work?

[king of lag]

Heh, got two bows from flex norm and heroic modes, then the str and int shields this week, so it depends on your rng

It's simple. The first kill on each character has a 100% drop-rate for heirloom based on your loot spec. The following ones have the normal droprates.

Any idea why I as a rogue would get the Pig Screamer Polearm drop?

Okay I have a bonus question regarding this..

Say I got the Tanking MH on my paladin (Prot)

I send that to the Warrior (Also prot)

If I enter and kill garrosh now on the warrior, whom have not gotten a Heirloom yet, would i get the MH again or could I get the shield?

50/50 chance like normal, having it equipped from another character won't make any difference.

I have heard reports that multiple heirlooms are dropping in a single kill, depending on what specialization you choose.

For instance Arms is apparently giving both the one hand and two hand melee dps swords

I made this awhile ago for my guildies who couldn't understand it. Figure i'll just post it here.

That was great. Yoinked and shared for those around us who are still confused.

This is not true. I just had a heroic kill with a Arms loot specialization, only received a single two-hander.

Does killing Garrosh a 2nd time, in the same difficulty, in the same week still give you the chance to get an heirloom?
I mean, if i killed it today and got my loom, if i kill it again tomorrow could i get another one?
Does rolling a coin give the chance to get it?
It's still confusing reading in the forum.
Someone says"yes u can", another one :"no", another one:"don't waste the coin, u can't get loom with coin", another one:"use the coin , u can get it"..
Could please someone who know how it works explain it ?
Thanks a lot , and sorry for my really bad english.

Just equip it. Works like any other weapon, except it will scale as you level. They all eventually reach 620, so you don't need to worry about which you get minus it being better for a few levels.

You cannot use a coin to get an heirloom.

You can get heirlooms during repeat kills of Garrosh on the same difficulty on the same week.

They said that the drop rate of heirlooms was increased, but that hasn't been the case in my experience, it still seems like 10% still, though its obviously a small sample size.

It could be that people who reported getting two in one kill are:

1. Lying
2. Blizzard didn't take into consideration that the guaranteed weapon drop should null the X% chance at random weapon drop.
