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.

Best wishes to you... got them on my second and fifth try
-
Ooh tough luck man. But good luck on your quest. (Don't look at my Titan)
-
Try to do the strike with another class like your warlock or hunter (if you haven't tried it yet). I got them and the flayers cloaks with my warlock (sorry)

5 RepliesI've gotten the Titan gauntlets from Shield Bros and the Titan mark (twice) from Undying Mind. The Psion cloak on the other hand.... still trying for that...
-
I have them. Didn't notice till I saw them on a raid partner and asked. Checked my vault and they were there.
-
I'm not sure what is more alarming. The fact that you ran it so many times (for an item in a video game), or that you took the time to keep track (which means you expected it to take a while, and are sucking the fun out of your own experience).

1 ReplyThats why this game sucks, and with other good games coming out, this is a great reason to say piss on Destinys RNG!!
-
No life lol
-
Just broke 100 mark, still no maw. The best part is I don't need it anymore.
-
Got 2 from brothers. Dont use titan.
-
I dismantled mine :P
-
Why are you shocked? You're a puppet. Keep on grinding like a b1 tch.
-
Took me around 140 tries to get grasp of malok And it had the absolute shittiest roll I've ever seen
-
1 ReplyThird time running it I got them, but I destroyed them because I don't like the way they look.
-
3 RepliesHalo 5
-
Never got the maulers either. Treads upon stars I've got like 4 times now.
-
You don't know the pain of getting the stupid undying mark 2 but seeing you're Titan friend get psion cloak... If only there was trading
-
10 RepliesI ran over 300 Dragon strikes for Hopscotch Pilgrim, to then see it get nerfed in TTK. You don't know what pain is.
-
I got the maulers 1st run!
-
They suck anyway
-
Good. I hope u never get them.
-
1 ReplyLol check my titan. Got it like 3rd time running it
-
Each strike that drops specific armor I had no success on at all an I ran them NUMEROUS times while my friends in my fire team always got it lol I always fail
-
Sorry to say but im at two pairs
-
I've barely done the flayer strike and I have the void flayer mantle

Edited by FlandreScarlette: 10/27/2015 12:43:51 PM*gets Tread Upon Stars to drop twice in a row yesterday, and already had one* *still has yet to get any strike exclusive armor* Are you guys having better luck getting weapons than armor? EDIT: Also, to show just how much more this sucks ass, you also have to hope for a good roll 200 times before you get the gauntlets, 500 times before they actually have a use. We should be able to use Glass Needles on Armor.
