I can relate. Blackhorn’s “shield”… En par with Lich King’s Axe (I’m an Orc warrior tank!) – which I got to enjoy for almost two weeks before the agility-/>dodge nerf bat hit and made the entire axe worthless.

For me, every expansion it’s shoulders and a shield (pally tank). I killed Blackhorn on LFR something like 31 times before it dropped the raid finder version… in that same time I also killed him on normal 23 times. Guess what? 4 weeks later it drops the bloody shield on normal. Yea, that’s 27 weeks of killing Blackhorn on Normal to get the shield, and 31 weeks on LFR. Right now, I’m working on EVERY fsck’ing week since MSV opened for LFR, and probably the last 6 weeks on normal… and no shield. (p.s. thank you to Askevar who worked a deal to get me the BOE 476 shield!)

So my guild ran LFR last night, and I’m convinced there is a dichotomy of luck. Our off tank won his fourth set of tier gloves, and a lot of gold. Our hunter won hats – both non-tier and tier. I won two more items I already had (yay sha crystals). Everyone who has won tier didn’t get their sha weapon. The one person who got a sha weapon last night hasn’t won tier (just like me). Our resto druid got her 4th tier piece… and she’s spent every coin on the empress to get a weapon for 3 weeks now.

It’s odd.

Well, if you’re a druid… that could be an advantage, provided you have other gear for each spec too…

After your first kill you can still get a bonus roll (if you have the elder charm for it) on subsequent (LFR) kills the same week. You can do this until you run out of charms or sanity, whichever comes first, usually the latter.

I have 4 tier helms off Sha. True story. Dumb game is dumb.

Wait, you say multiple runs per week? You can only loot a boss once per week, right? Am I missing something?

I too am in the ‘got my sha weapon early.’ I think it’s a curse – for as erroll noted, I have not gotten any tier or non-dupe item since. One reason I’m hopeful our guild will finally start running 10M normal – just for better drop chances.

I’m tired of the fail LFR.

See bear, it doesn’t matter what the shiny is – we’ll bitch about not getting it. :)

I guess I’m lucky in that I have had not one, but three sha-touched weapons drop. But on the other side, I have run ToES over and over in hopes to get the head or shoulder tier so that I can have a 4-piece set. In fact, just this Tuesday, I literally closed my eyes hoping that my good luck charm would bring me the shoulders. And then I heard not the sound of gold, but the sound of a drop. My heart beat jumped and I opended my eyes. And there it was….another waist piece that I didn’t need. And my dream was shattered again knowing that I would have to wait a whole another week before I could try again.

The worst part was hearing a priest say in raid chat, “What the heck Blizzard? Two shoulder tokens?!?” I almost hit my head on the desk :(
