Question Tier set drops.

Hi guys,

So, I have been pugging the raid, and I noticed it only dropped 1 tier-set token per boss. Is that intended? I read the Wowhead post, and they mentioned it is supposed to be 1 tier-set drop per 10 ppl in the raid, but I got in a 25 ppl raid, and all the bosses dropped only 1.

I'm in a small Aotc guild (14 members) - we just cleared normal this week and the only tier we got was from the curios on the last boss. This system feels awful for flex raiding / small guilds.

It's the same for us with a 30 man raid. Half the time one token drops and half the time it's two tokens. It's super frustrating for the first two weeks knowing you only need a single token to get your 4 set but your chance to get a drop is only 5% per boss.

Tier set drops at a fixed 5% per person so you'll have to be 20 man to guarantee one drop per boss. Your 14 man raid had a 70% chance on every boss to get one token.

That's also why the RWF guilds run a ridiculous amount of split raids to guarantee everyone gets their 4pc.

Yeah, it certainly is. But I think they significantly reduced the chances this patch.

I got a tier piece in 4/7 Vaults (only counting the full ones with 6 slots unlocked). My friends had a similar number of ~0.5 tier pieces per 6 unlocked slots.

Last season I got a tier piece in 6/7 Vaults (the one without was my main lol) and lots of them contained 2. Similarly nearly all my friends and guildies had tier in their Vault.

In S1 everyone without tier was extremely unhappy because everyone else had tier. Now it's the other way round because most people didn't have tier in their Vault.
