I've been farming rvr dungeons and have questions about ROG.

1. Never seen a ring drop.
2. Many items with charisma and empathy.
3. Some bosses seem to frequently drop the same slot item.

I know nothing about coding, are the slot/stat/resist/skill all a random roll against a table of values or do some bosses have a higher percentage to drop a slot/stat?

thanks

Not a simple question - our ROG is as accurate as we could make it to live (a passion of mine that took something like 5 years of research and implementation)

In short...

It depends on the mob's drop table (will it drop ROG of a type/types?). Lets say the decision is made to drop a ring

at that point the rog stat generator kicks in. This is based on research factors in how its selected. We know from Mythic's own statements that3 of them will be from a table and the 4th will be tailored to the attacker in some what. The actual distribution in stats happens (for example, from memory, if it selects charisma twice ou may end up with a 3 stat item but 1 of them having a big stat)

With that being said, as to why you might see one stat over another you want its that stats themselves are the same pool - so if it can have a stat and there's only 6 to choose from, odds are pretty good it'll come up pretty frequently. There's no stat weighting so to speak.

Some mobs do in fact have a chance to drop items with better (more) stats than others, but not one stat or stat combo.

If you're hunting for a particular item, it could be helpful to hunt someone who has the stat you're looking for as a primary usage (don't go lookign for +PIE items on a warrior as an example as you'd be less likely due to it not being 'tailored' to that class)
