Heroic warforged items drop rate

[Deja Thoris]

We run a 10 man group and historically HC Wf items have been as rare as rocking horse shit.

This reset we got 7 WF items or so off 10 bosses. Is this a case of everybody's favourite saying of "rng is rng" or can I don my WF™ tinfoil hat and speculate that the drop rate has been buffed on the sly?

Did any other 10 man groups have a similar phenomenon?

Quite funny really, this reset so far we've killed 4 heroic bosses, had 3 HC WF drop from bosses (2 of which I got for freakin' off spec...) and 2 people have bonus rolled one each.

We too had a higher drop rate for warforged items. Can't recall specific numbers though.

didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. one hwf item out of 9 bosses so far this week which is pretty typical, along with de'ing half the gear in our 10m.

[Huntermyth]

last reset we had a lot of hcwf items as well.

either rng or maybe they ninja buffed the drop rate ?

Both my good 10 man alt raids saw more hc wf loot than usual via drops and bonus rolls. Basically I haven't seen as many hc wf trinkets drop even in a 25 man hc clear. Still wouldn't call that a sign though that anything was changed.

We really need something like : Merge 2 identical items to get the WF version.
Or Tokens to upgrade to WF

RNG is still a bitch...

We also had one or two IDs with more HC WF Drops than the usual. But most IDs we end up with the usual next to none WF items - but yesterday a HC WF cloak droppt from shamans - well played Blizzard!

I'll go with RNG is RNG

its pure rng - my guild has only 10/14 HC killed yet my monk is in top 300 chars geared on one of biggest EU realms with the 577 itlv made from farming 8 HC bosses in 10 man - RNG is well RNG - usually out of 10 loot pieces at least one is wf so i guess the wf drop rate in 10 man is around 10-15% much less then in 25 man but i have seen multiple nice wf pieces drop quite often and on other nights 3/4 loot goes to disenchant . cant complain since i got hc wf one hander this reset it just takes time and well some attenandce and anyone can be nicely geared especially with the sexy coins giving what we want from time to time

0 WF this week. Everything went to DE or OS too. Fun times.

[Notdev]

We got quite a few as well. I got 2 H WF pieces myself.

This. It's been this way since the system was introduced and any deviancy you see from this is simply RNG.

The whole point of introducing Thunder/warforged items was to give 25-man raids a clear benefit over 10-man raids. They're not going to buff the droprates.

I ran ordos on 7 alts. 5 of which got drops. 4 of them were chest robes. and I bet someone 50g they'd get a drop. They got robes too. profiting off other peoples luck. priceless.

Got one WF item this reset and it was from hc garrosh.
So...

These numbers were from ToT. Although I haven't noticed a change since then, I seem to recall them buffing XForged drop rates for SoO? Is that correct or am I imagining things?

I really, really do agree with that, if they really decide to keep this stupid system for Mythic, in stead of just reducing loot drop to make farm last longer.
