We had 4 epics drop from the first trash clear. Reset it and had nothing drop. This was on 10 man also.

5 runs, 5 epics. We had 2 on the first run, none on 2 and 3, and then 1 on the fourth run and 2 on the fifth. There were two instances of Soul Blade and 1 that wasn't BoT-Specific, it was some kind of 359 mage ring I think.
3 in one pack of trash in the first room. Then a further 2 that run; 1 after Halfus and the other before the Ascendant Council
Sup Yo.
It's always annoying when the Epic you want doesnt drop but everything else seems to though..
But it's fun to link the item someone else really really wants from Atlas or something :P
This is probably not intended... After you clear the trash you can run out, click "reset all instances", go back in, and all the trash will have respawned.
kidnapping thread, any one know if there drops different epics on trash mobs, than atlasloot shows?

are missing from AtlasLoot and will be added with the next version.
First week in there - 0 BoE off halfus trash
Second week in there - 2 BoE off halfus trash, 1 BoE off valiona trash
Third week in there - 0 BoE off halfus trash, 1 BoE off valiona trash
Fourth week in there - 1 BoE off halfus trash,
Fifth week in there - 0 BoE off halfus trash, so far.
Considering the amount of trash before halfus.
4 mobs on first pull, the two patrols in the center have 5 mobs each, and the four groups on the sides have 7-8 mobs each. Thats a total of 45ish mobs in that room.
On valiona trash, there are the gaunlet mobs, those dont drop any loot, downstairs you have 4 groups with elementals, those are 5-6 mobs per pack, and 3 more groups with ogres, those are 4-5 mobs per pack. Total of 38ish mobs.
I would say the drop rates are closer to 1% than anything else. Of course some groups are luckier, and others have never seen a BoE. But its the amount of trash in there that makes it look like the percentage is higher.
Blackwing on the other hand has 5 trash mobs in the first room, i have never seen a BoE drop there.

Well today i did 6 runs, and every second run there was an epic so its not to bad, its worth the time to farm.
so for me on an average run across the times i have done it its probably a 45% chance for an epic in the first lot of mobs in the raid.
Actually you failed at math tbh. Mainly just the way you stated it however. We'll take the dice example. Rolling a dice has a 1/6 chance of landing on 6. However, rolling the dice 6 times in a row, receiving 6 on each roll, is a (1/6)^6 chance. Having that same dice roll 6 again, would have an exponentially less chance to occur. Given the entire order of what has happened before.
Therefore, IF an epic had a 90% chance to not drop, it would only have a (.9)^10 % chance to not drop off any of them. Which is about a 34.9% chance to happen with 10 mobs.

i dont think this is true, as a matter of fact i thought it was buffed.
Did 6x clears of the trash leading to the first boss, 2 items dropped in 1 run 0 dropped in other 5.
Drops were:
Crossfire Carbine
Soul blade
Actually you're both wrong. If you knew probability you'd know its almost never cumulative
Instead you have to calculate it like this. If you have five items with a 2% drop rate, theres a 98% chance it wont drop.
.98 * .98 * .98 * .98 * .98 is the chance that all 5 won't drop or .98^5 = .9039
There is a 90.4% chance that no epics will drop or a 9.6% that at least one epic will drop. Not 10%
in my guild we spent two raid nights of 3 hours each farming the trash up to the first boss. So far we've gotten 2 epics.
Probably talking around 20 clears. So the drop isnt too high. But thats not stopping us from getting easy epics.
First trash pack in this xpac dropped double epic staff.
I don't know what the drop chance is for any given epic item in BoT, but this week, we got 4 epic items in 1 run (cleared up to cho'gall). we got 2 bracers of the dark pool, and 2 guns. yay
I have enough of EA ruining great franchises and studios, forcing DRM and Origin on their games, releasing incomplete games only to sell day-1 DLCs or spill dozens of DLCs, and then saying it, and microtransactions, is what players want, stopping players from giving EA games poor reviews, as well as deflecting complaints with cheap PR tricks.
I'm not going to buy any game by EA as long as they continue those practices.
Only been in once and had 4 epics drop on the trash inside.
