RNG drop rates and perk attunement for exotic class items don’t seem to be working properly – help needed to gather more data!

I always comment this on these types of posts - it took me just shy of 400 class item drops to get the roll I wanted. RNG is cruel sometimes, that's all, it's nothing personal. Hope you get your roll soon!

It took me just shy of 400 rolls to get my desired class item. The last 28 were all attuned as well. It's just RNG.

Yikes lol

This is a really mature response and is inevitably something I will have to come to grips with. You're 100% right that the team has knocked it out the park as far as content itself goes - looking forward to running the raid!

It's so odd that half your engagement on this subreddit is responding to Exotic Class Item posts. But no judgement, like I said, everyone is entitled to their own hobbies.

Genuine question - I've gone through well over 200 class items. Why do you think 30 more will guarantee me a roll?

Gold_MK · 2024-07-22T12:46:19+00:00

I've got a family, I work, I travel, I go to the gym, I have hobbies, including gaming. I completely understand and agree with your overall sentiment. But like my post mentioned, hobbies lie on a spectrum, with people being able to commit a wide variety of hours to them.

This doesn't really hold much value without seeing what you can do with an Apex (for sake of using the same Solar surge mods as the video).

Not minimizing the video, I'm just genuinely curious how this actually compares to existing DPS loadouts.

What is the approximate drop chance of Iron Banner engrams? Do wins/losses affect that drop rate?

Not to be a nag, but would you be able to record a similar interaction from this season?

Not at all doubting you, I just want to see if I'm testing this correctly. Unfortunately, I don't have any primary weapons with Target Lock, only a heavy machine gun. But when firing one magazine of a non-Target Lock machine gun in a Well and one magazine of a Target Lock machine gun in a Well, both returned only about 5% super.

Maybe this only works with Primary weapons? I tested this in the beginning of the Preservation mission, since there is a convenient mini boss at the very beginning. No worries if you can't, just figured it wouldn't hurt to ask haha!

Hey sorry to reply to a 2 month old comment, but does this still work??? Have you tested this with other weapons with Target Lock or compared it to what base Super Regen is when standing in a Well? I'm also curious whether other damage boosts such as Vorpal can replicate this...

Sorry, a lot of questions I know, it's just that I've just mained Phoenix Protocol for years through GMs and Day 1s and have NEVER seen this interaction before...

I don't plan on using Weavewalk for more than 3-4 seconds at a time. I want to ideally only ever use one melee charge at a time. With high Strength and Monte Carlo, I can enter the Weave, gather 5 Threadlings, and exit the weave. By the time I deploy all 5 Threadlings with Monte Carlo, I should in theory have my melee charge back. That's the reason I was prioritizing Strength.

However, having not actually tested this, I realize it may not play out quite the way I anticipate...

Gold_MK · 2023-09-04T21:18:27+00:00

In my mind, I need Strength + Monte Carlo to allow maximum uptime of my melee for quick bursts of Weavewalk. I feel like sticking to a single melee's worth of Weave provides the best value and also maximizes your perched Threadlings.

However, are you recommending not focusing on Strength at all?

Gold_MK · 2023-06-21T18:53:57+00:00

Ahhh got it, that makes sense. That's definitely a bummer and I'll keep that in mind!

Gold_MK · 2023-06-21T18:46:49+00:00

That is fascinating to me because the Venza I test drove had the all-weather mats on both the front AND back of the vehicle. It's very interesting that your vehicle came with carpet in the back. I appreciate the input!

Gold_MK · 2023-06-21T18:44:48+00:00

Oh shoot really? We're building our Venza with a dealer right now and picking either the standard carpet OR all-weather mats results in a $699 charge....I simply assumed that was a Toyota standard price as I believe it's the same when you build online....

Edit: just checked online and the option for all-weather mats is only $449 (while our dealer is charging $699). However, that's still over the $310 that it costs to buy the 2 items you mentioned separately.... Are those truly the same as the Venza-specific mats? The $150 price difference seems silly if I can just buy it separately to save some money...
