Can't agree with this either. Our SK's generally get geared within their first few raids.

But that being said, random is just that. I've been on raids with 3 armor drops worth mentioning and ones with 15.

The thing with pallies vs SK's and Rogues, was from Live.
Pally armor drops only from ... i hope i remember right .. "MALE"
fiends, wich always made funny commands ... and i remember farming
so many times to get full pally set, while on each farm trip SK's and Rogues got replaced because they got all their pieces. I'm not saying it is this way on P99 but there are still a whole lot more octapus men than male Fiends in Fear, so it isn't just random, if the drop % is the same for each mob, wich i believe it is, lot more SK armor will drop than pallies. Its the same with necro stuff. I agree with that necro drop ratio is sucky. Mainly because there is so few boogiemen spawns compared to other mob types. If the drop ratio is borked too its gotta be bad.

Umbral is actually seemingly rare now, I got 1 piece per raid till i got 2 pieces 1 raid, havent seen any last 4 raids.

I've got more Thorny Vine from Hate than I have from Fear.

What! Tons of fear raiding and I still lack bracer + bp. Pretty much only SK of ours with a nearly full set, others have a couple random pieces.
We've had raids where we clear whole plane and 0 umbrals drop off the amygs, just 1 piece came out of a blob.

On the other hand, one of our rogues had a full set of pally gear in bank, and I almost got my pally set completed too.

I srsly have long since suspected some code hidden in there that counts classes present when mobs die, then calculates a chance according to how many there are of them. Ie. 3 SKs = 1 SK drop... 0 PALs = 3 PAL drops.

Its all about luck, Ive seen raids where TONS of armor drops and some where maybe 1-2 the whole raid. Also there arent that many golems in hate but Im not complaining thats just how it is, think i only recall 6-7 on Live. But the 1 thing abotu golems I hate here is theyre to big! a spite golem was barely taller than a human on live, like the ones in CT zone
