... to balance the game as the makers see fit. You see, it's their game. We pay for rights to play their game.
A part of their game is that certain groups of classes get certain items. They don't want beastlords to have this. Of course you use mana, but not as much as these guys.
You're not considered a low level shammy. You're a hybrid of a shammy and a monk. It's give and take. Too much take and it would be too easy.
this belt dropped for me today while doing tier three collection for DoN progression. My friend and i were just pulling stuff to zone in and he didnt need it so logged in my druid. very nice upgrade for him. Dropped off a golem.
In my experience, these drop once in every 30 Creator missions, roughly. Does that make them rare or very rare? Shrug.
The melee shoulders are considerably rarer, dropping, in my experience, once every 60 to 70 Creator missions. Between the two items, the shoulders are definitely hard to get if that's why anyone is there.
On a few occassions, both the belt and the shoulders rotted since no one needed/desired them and given the drop rate, that is a pity.
Had one drop off one of the drakes, think it was one of the enchanter ones. I think this is a random mob drop in thundercrest, be it mission or normal zone
