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.

Gottem 3rd try lel

Sorry man. Had about the same luck trying to get fatebringer. It's one reason why i don't play as much as i used to.

-
I got the titan gauntlets my first run. I realize I was very lucky now. I'm sorry for your pain. :(
-
I get the unique gauntlets all the time and I don't even main my Titan.... They look like toy chainsaws
-
thank you for mentioning that which brother you kill doesn't increase or decrease your chances, i was seriously wondering if that was a thing. ah well :(
-
Never had anything from strokes except a single flayer cloak which isn't particularly useful on a titan main, the drop rate is ridiculous
-
Lol I feel bad.. Got mine during my third time...
-
I've gotten probably 7. I have one 310 pair.
-
I have a friend who got them and thinks the order you kill the brothers in matters(blue one first), I can't confirm or deny the validity of his opinion but he swears that it worked for him.
-
I'm going to dismantle the ones I got today
-
Yep, no drops for me either. Rng sucks sometimes :s
-
Still waiting for the devouring mind
-
I've had just about the same luck with the flayer cloaks.
-
3 RepliesThis is just a theory but I've seen them drop once and it was the only time I killed the mortar shield brother before the one who charges. Sounds weird but give it a try if you haven't I'm sure you have.
-
How many?!!???!
-
I've gotten 2 pairs to drop, without trying. Also have all 3 flayer cloaks, treads upon stars, imago loop, devouring maw, mark of undying mind, and barons ambition. Now if only I could get that dark blade helmet... and Taniks cloak
-
2 RepliesI lost count how many times i did undying mind to get the -blam!-ing imago loop
-
Wow that's a lot of times man
-
Bruh bruh look at my titan.
-
I have gotten all those titan exclusives, on my hunter. The trick is not to grind for them, just let it happen naturally.
-
Got it on first try
-
You're just unlucky, not Bungies fault

Edited by Suya: 10/23/2015 7:12:19 PMI ran it about 12 times and got a intellect/discipline roll with melee attack speed and scout rifle reload. I was suuuuppppeeerrr lucky.
-
3 RepliesI've gotten the Darkblade Helm x5, Mark of the Undying Mind, and Mau'auls Maulers ALL while NOT running a Titan. I also got my only Flayer while running Warlock. Titan isn't my main. I've only get 5 days played on Titan. 15 days each on Hunter and Warlock.

RKO outta nowhereee
