Spire of the Watcher (lack of) helmet drop rates part 2
So...continuing from my post a few weeks ago, eased off on the farming the Ascent first encounter and just did a few runs here and there whilst doing the usual weekly stuff. Thought i would try and run it with my Hunter too as i quite like the look of the leg/arm armour you can get from the first encounter. Well, would you know it...a helmet drops from the FIRST run. Have still been running this with my Warlock and Titan but still nothing for them. Just checked and im up to 1 day 10 hours without getting the Warlock or Titan helmet to drop, hell i cant even get the machine gun to drop. Surely that should of dropped by now?

Yeah, I’ve been having the same problem with the Hunter cloak, which is doubly tedious because I also have to deal with Akelous at the top of the tower. I’ve done this solo so many times by now that I can damn near flawless all the way up to that point, but it’s been pretty much everything *but* the cloak going on 40+ attempts now. I’ve heard somewhere that the hats have intentionally subdued drop rates, and apparently the Hunter cloak is even worse since class items already have reduced drop rates in the first place, which compounds with the reduction for any armor piece that features the hat. I get that they knew it would be popular and wanted to make it something to chase, but putting it even beyond the meager drop rate of raid and dungeon exotics is beyond absurd.
