So its been a week of grinding Shadow Thief strike for the Mark of Taniks. And not the slightest drop of this item. Is unique strike gear supposed to be extremely rare? I wouldn't understand the logic if Bungie decided to make unique legendary gear more rare than exotics. Instead of the three of coins increasing the rate at which only exotics drop, why not increase the rate at which all good drops will drop? By good drops I mean legendary engrams, unique strike gear especially, and exotics. The rate at which each type of drop would be different of course. This would restore the rarity of each type of gear. Sorry if this goes against the easy grind for exotics, but IMO I would rather get a hold of things that make my Guardian look like the legend he is supposed to be. Theoysion Vibrrasae for my warlock, the psion cloak or mark of taniks for my hunter, the darkblade helm for my titan or the maulers. I currently only have the darkblade helm. That helm and the psion seems to be the only frequent drops from the strikes. Please chime in on anything I have said, whether it is trolling or actual advice, I will reply as if it were constructive and literal.
Thank you all Guardians,

See you starside...

Out of all the times I have faced taniks, the cloak has only dropped for me twice. I literally spent all day yesterday farming that strike only, for the auto rifle and it didn't even drop. And I heard the auto rifle was crap unless you get good perks. I'm someone who doesn't judge a gun based off just perks but if I finally get it to drop I better get some decent perks on it, cause it's drop rate is extremely low for no reason. The same for the omnigul pulse rifle. Farmed that one a bit and no such luck. Did get the bond though. It seems like the cloak, bonds, and marks are somewhat obtainable if you run the strike enough. As for the strike specific weapons?... Good luck. Oh but you can go straight to the strike from the planet to get the cloak. It doesn't matter if you are on a Playlist. Just in case you had your doubts or didn't know.
