Or play against a group like that? I have. Absolute devastation. The group that runs up against them can't kill them fast enough because smite clerics have sooooooo many tools at their disposal combined with decent ranged damage with 8 of them dudes doing it!

They "fixed" named mob's drop rates a while ago since it was "too high".

No, the way it worked before is that it was adding +x% for EVERY item, instead of being x% for all items. Therefore, some mobs with large loot tables had extremely high drop chances. We didn't lower the drop chance - we fixed the bug.

If someone would bother testing it, Live servers have a pretty high droprate for the named monsters in the Dragon Zones. Nearly guaranteed 1 item per kill.

Not in mid at least. Arild that stingy bastard...took me about 110 kills on live to get the cloak of elemental buffering for my molvik template (often times without a drop at all) Odds also arent good, considering we've got 6 logs with 0 drops thus far. http://mindkayak.com/bestiary/mob.jsp?mob=2198

Do you know statistic? Do you know you MUST have large sample of numbers to have exact results? 6 kills is nothing from statistic view FYI

6 kills does show you that the drop rate isn't "extremely high".

It could also show that they had terrible luck!

I farmed Deskuva two Weeks, killed her hm 3-4 times a day and got 3 Bracer.. more luck then on Arnulv for me  so its fine and really only luck  i killed Arnulv more then 50 times without ring, and other ppl got ring on first kill .. i think its same with Deskuva, but it drops  you just need to have luck + a Char to logg there  lg
