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.

Edited by rmagnums: 10/23/2015 6:52:40 AMI just did the Omnigul strike for a couple hours and watched both fire team members get a grasp of Malok. We were going on 5 hours.. Edit: oh yeah, i never got one to drop.
-
I've gotten 5 of them so far. The trick is to not want it and to not think about it. I grinded the psion strike so many times only to get the arc and solar when I completely forgot about getting the cloaks at all.
-
Why do people grind so hard for dumb items
-
Can't get the 'devouring maw' Saber strike helm, but my friend has two after running it 5 times
-
run more strikes then i can count.. got the darkblade helm on like my 3rd strike after TTK... then absolutely nothing until last week.. solar flayer cloak and tread upon stars 3 times..
-
2 RepliesI hear ya bro. I just recently got the flayer cloak and I haven't seen the shield brothers gauntlets to the darkblade helm yet. And I play strikes all the time farming 3oCs.
-
I've had 3 sets of these... only done the strike about 8 times. Sorry for stealing your RNG

2 RepliesEdited by Senzu: 10/23/2015 6:44:10 AMI [b]FINALLY[/b] got my Taniks Cloak today. Who knows how many times I ran the damn strike.. Edit: 97. 97 damn times..
-
They are on my titan if you'd like to rub on them.
-
1 ReplyI'd say I've ran them no more than 12 times... I've got the gauntlets. On the other hand, I've ran the vog hard quite a few times and I've yet got the vex mythoclast
-
I got them on my second run whilst on my hunter.
-
Yup. Random is random
-
1 ReplyI feel your pain man. I've probably run it half the times you have, and I've come up with nothing. :( I really want those gauntlets!
-
2 RepliesJust got my third set (sorry), did infuse one set to 310 gives more scout ammo
-
1 ReplyDon't remember how i got them but i got them one time without noticing. I feel like if you're deliberately trying to farm an item your chances of getting it go down exponentially
-
Are you just running that strike or are you in the vanguard playlist? The vanguard streak is how you get that stuff.
-
I just got them two days ago. Was pretty stoked. I kept thinking about infusing my raid gauntlets into them.....probably wont do that until i get another paid of gauntlets on one of my other alts
-
I dismantled mine last night, pretty poor tbh
-
Damn son. I got those without even trying. I think I got it from a nightfall
-
I've grabbed the Shield Brothers gauntlets twice. They're pretty sick, but my raid gear is still better.
-
Get a life bro
-
You kill cena or triple h first?
-
Wanted taniks cloak, did strike maybe 4 times a do got it
-
1 ReplyI lost track of how many saber strikes I've run for the Devouring Maw
-
Just dismantled a pair. -blam!-ing things are huge and got in the way whenever I'm using a hand cannon
-
Thats destiny man. I have never had gjallarhorn drop ever, not even once in year 1. And i can count way over 82 instances where i could of got it.....get used to it
