82 times, Bungie. 82 freaking times.
As the title reads, I've run the Shield Brothers strike 82 while chasing those damn unique gauntlets and 82 times I've come up NOTHING. What's even more discouraging is that I've read on threads here and other sites that people have run it in excess of 125 times and come up with nothing as well. Whether or not you think they're stylish, I personally like the look of them and therefore want my Titan to sport them. :)
Now, before the masses decided to impart their "wisdom" know that one, this isn't a "screw you, Bungie!" post; I'm honestly just curious as to other peoples success rates, or lack thereof, when farming these items. Two, I KNOW, as you should know and/or learn now while reading, that these unique boss drops ARE NOT tied to the Legendary loot table of Strikes; they're on their own drop percentage so please don't say, "Do strikes for the buff to increase your chances!" because that is false. You should also know, as I recently found out, that you don't have to kill Big Red or Big Blue first/second. Again, I know it's all RNG but still.
Anyhow, rant and rant alike, anyone else out there farming these gauntlets and coming up short? Flayer capes? Darkblade Helm? How many times did it take you to get yours and/or how many times have you run a certain Strike?
*UPDATE #1*
115 times and still nothing. Tried running it on my hunter for a change of pace, though. It's at least a little more fun now.
Do people even READ the post before commenting?
Bungie really needs to add a penalty for bailing on a Strike. I lost count of how many times people flaked after getting the fragment.

I don't know how many times I've run it (probably far less than 82), but I've gotten the gauntlets twice. Last night I got them on my warlock. It's the damn flayer cloaks that elude me.

1 ReplyI did it once. Got the gauntlets and..... [spoiler]dismanteled[/spoiler]
-
I've been running the undying mind for the imago loop but the one I got has shit perks so I'm trying to get another one with no luck
-
Rules 1 of loot hunting in any rng game: don't chase it, let it come to you

Noob Sa1bot is wicked and desperate. Keep your pulse rifle safe, Omnigul!
-
3rd time for me
-
5 RepliesI main warlock, I have been farming the SABER strike for the Devouring maw helmet, and I still haven't got it. Just keep at it, RNG is RNG.
-
You gotta kill the jumper last
-
Got it in my 6th time. lol
-
Got them my 10th time or so. They are so awesome you can't imagine how much you want them

Edited by RPritt: 10/23/2015 12:22:45 PMI got it it while running my hunter. I've completed 12 times. Don't remember when it dropped but it was in the last 5
-
I got them on my hunter. Was confused but pleased. Still can't get a few things I've actually been trying to get though, so I feel your pain. Happy hunting! Don't get too mad, RNG can't be everyone's friend all at once /:
-
Got the gauntlets from my 10th-11th time soon the strike, I wasn't farming for them though.
-
I got my darkblade helm like the 3rd time running it wen it was nightfall. Besides that only thing i get to drop is treads upon stars. Giving up hope i ever get those gloves out of shield bros.
-
Had 2 drop, dismantled 1 and kept 1.
-
Wait till it's a nightfall strike again. Strike exclusive gear drops like candy in nightfall's.
-
Theyre so ugly though
-
6 RepliesWhen it comes around as a nightfall. Grind it. I did the psion flayers 4 times and 3/4 I got Treads upon stars and the 4th I got the solar flayer cloak
-
Got them my first run on my warlock at 295 :P
-
Maybe kill the mortar dude first?
-
Just got them yesterday
-
2 RepliesThat's how I feel about the cloak of taniks.
-
I ran it twice and got it. Sorry about your luck bro. I guess it's like when people try to get pregnant. The more you try, less likely it'll happen
-
One of my friends got these first time he did the strike lol. Tragic. I don't have them either
-
Don't worry, I got the dark blade helmet the first time that I ever did it!
-
