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 really wanted the solar flayer mantle but my buddy already had it. So we killed the dumb void guy last on our 5th time running the strike and I got a purple mantle. Not sure how I feel about it. At least that Nebula Glow shader kinda goes with it.
