Another 4 heirlooms dropped last night. These things are way too common.
In, I think, 8 kills of Garrosh across difficulties I've seen a total of 3 heirlooms drop, all of them happened yesterday.
Random? Probably
Do you get a random heirloom? Or is it tied to spec in some way?
Got caster staff on first kill in Flex. It appears to count as separate loot when you make the kill, as I also won the cloth caster hood at the same time, without using a coin. Think it is the only time I have seen x2 loot from a boss outside normal raids without coining.
First one is tied to spec, if youre lucky enough to get another, its random. I believe this is across all difficulties.. eg. if you first kill garrosh in lfr as healer, you will get a 1h or shield if you can use it, that has healer stats.. if you then kill in flex or normal, its random.. apparently someone in my guild has now killed garrosh twice outside our normal weekly raids, and they have 2 items. go figure.. rng in full effect..
Well that blows. Really awful design when you have certain weapon types that are only used by one class (bows, agility daggers . The weapons themselves aren't better than 2/2 normal weapons and all they have going for them are their account-wide status. That makes the two-handed axe and caster staff much more desirable.
They do scale in the next expansion (assuming by the tooltip), but I can't see them being any better than a normal dungeon drop at equivalent level.
We get 3 or 4 a week in 25man. Seems fine to me.
we had two on our firstkill two days ago (10 man)... both warlocks and both the staff. funny as it is, one of them already had a warforged+8, aka a 567 staff... so he isn't even gonna use it...
They arnt a must have weapons. They are bait to get you to stay the whole teir without canceling your sub. They are a low drop rate for that reason. The longer you go without it the better it is for blizzard. Sorry to tell you they didn't add them to be nice to you. They added them to bait you.
Facts hurt!

Aye mate
Definitely not 1% drop rate, I see atleast 2-3 players in my 25man raid every week when we kill Garrosh getting heirlooms items. The drop rate just isn't ridiculously high.
Blizzard loves to Blizzard loves to say things like, yes they are low drop rates but once you get the item you have been trying for it will mean that much more to you. Well Blizzard that is bull shit, I have 53 kills counting lfr, flex normal and Heroic modes and I still don’t have a fucking healing shield form a raid boss. The RNG in this game is bull shit and Blizzard knows it, makes me wonder how all of the top guilds seem to get the gear they need off of the first couple attempts while the rest of us have to limp on with crafted crap?
Killed normal Garrosh for the first time this week, received Hellscream's Decapitator. Replaced my old ToT off-hand and made my warrior very happy :P.
I was the only one in the 25 man raid to get an heirloom though.
everyone has 5 chars. make 5 raidgroups out of 20 alts and 5 mains each. all loot from every raid only goes to the 5 main chars, provided that they need it.
next ID when you finally want to kill garrosh, you just raid with all 25 mains who are pumped with loot.
when you have the content on farm, you just do this all over again until every char is equipped somehow reasonable, and then you wait for next content.
I started counting in our 10 man
We got 2 drop in our first 10 man kill
then on the second we got 0
third had 0 drops aswell
and the last one dropped 1
However you can not count for the amount of chances because i used only 1 coin on the 4 kills and mine did not drop from the coin.
So 3 from 40 -50 chances looks like about 5-6% chance from that sample.
