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.

1 ReplyJust rng...ive gotten like 5 treads upon stars never seen an imago loop. Just keep grinding
-
I've gotten them twice on my warlock. I feel for you man, we all have pieces we're chasing that just never seem to drop.
-
You do know this game has rng so complaining to bungie is pointless because they have no control over your drops
-
-
I got them my first run...
-
I got them doing the strike with my Hunter. I think it was the NF but we weren't doing anything special like killing them in reverse order... I got the Void Flayer cloak this week. Maybe you have more chance when it's NF?
-
1 ReplyPlay on another character and they'll drop seems to be the best way. Did 10 heroics in a row on titan, nothing unique. Did 10 heroic strikes on warlock, chainsaw-arm titan guantlets, Cubone's skull titan helmet, and solar flayer mantel.

5 RepliesYou must understand rng .... run the strike with your hunter you will get something for a titan
-
1 ReplyTaniks cloak dropped the very first time I played Taniks in TTK.
-
I get them all the time but I'm a hunter. Got my 5th one yesterday -_-
-
Ah! Of course he doesn't link his account. If he did we would see the 27 times he's run that strike:
-
All Ive gotten is Barons Ambition and I didnt even know until a week later when I inspected before wanting to dismantle Realized it was a strike drop so I kept it But, I also dont farm the strikes for gear, seems really mind numbing and dissappointing Id rather run them when I do and if I get a drop so be it.
