I have not seen one of these drop in the 3-4 months since I have been in VP with TMO, and I have seen pretty much every other drop.

If I am doing my math right, that is at least 15 Silverwings (including repops), 3 drops each on average, and about a 90% chance not to drop the Scimitar, so 45^0.9 = < 1% chance for 0 scimitars.

It actually has a higher chance on the lootdrop than some of the other items. Bad luck on your part I think.

Isn't the proc broken anyways, because of the hoop nerf?

The spirit tap from ivandyr's hoop is blocked in VP. The scimitar was not intended to be the same. Fixed, pending update.

Spirit tap is blocked in general in VP because of the hooptaloot. So the scimi doesn't proc there lol. On top of Lifetaps just being gimpified, they should be basically lure.

As stated above, only the hoop tap was intended to be nerfed; the scimitar proc will be fixed with next patch. Lifetaps in general have era-appropriate resists though, to my knowledge. There are other threads about this.
