Battered Hilt no longer dropping from H Trash

Hi there,

Normally I would not post something like this, but the armory lists this item as having a drop rate between 1-2% (extremely low) from all heroic trash mobs (and bosses) in the Icecrown 5man dungeons.

Now, I have been farming heroic Pit of Saron trash for the past 9 hours without pause and I have yet to see a hilt drop.

By my calculation I have killed well over 1800 mobs today.

I have received:
- 2x Seven-Fingered Claws
- 4x Unsharpened Ice Razor
- 3x Ghostly Wristwraps

All of these items are also listed as having 1-2% (extremely low) drop rates on the armory, the exception being that they are not also listed as dropping from the bosses in these instances.

Statistically, it is highly improbable that I would not have seen at least one Battered Hilt drop yet today.

My question is this: Does this item still drop from trash mobs in these heroics? I have asked in the Pit of Saron general channel on my server and no one has seen it drop since the drop rates were hotfixed, at all.

Please let me know if I am wasting my time!

Thanks.

While there is little more information I can provide, I can tell you that the item is dropping at the intended rate. I'm sorry if you've been unlucky, Imaginary, but you'll just need to do more farming if you'd like to pursue this item further. :)

Without sitting down and reviewing everything, it appears as it the list found upon the armory may be accurate.
