Anyone else feeling theres a decrease in weapons drops rate?

Necro weps - we stopped seeing them in a while, as they are already super rare for some reason.

Hrung - his weapon slot is either skull or helm, while its almost always a helm, with very little chance for a useful skull. Rarely any firebolt / storm / shards / touch / breath ones.

Mordy - the only boss that drops weapons normally, although we still have 0 void vit and not to mention some helms are 50 times more rare than the others.

Gelebron - Belenus has collected 7 gele kills, now which happen weekly, and so far 0 weapons, and that bothers us most as we kill and that bothers us the most, as we finally are able to gather over 40+ toons weekly (we started with 32-35 on kills and that drawed more ppl to want to join the kill), and we throw our elixirs and spend time as we dedicate Saturdays for Gelebron, yet we get almost only crap. Why do weapons always have the lower drop rate?

We only have 1 wep slot while we have 4 ring slots and 2 bracelet slots, it makes sense for braces and rings to drop with much more frequency. The main issue I have with Gele loot is not the loot table as godly drops come frequently compared to bosses such as mordy and hrung but how crap the rings and braces are.

No good melee DPS toon will use a gele bracer over prot str/dex/attack and no good melee DPS toon would use gele rings over necro. As for casters it's the opposite with the rings being awesome and the best braces dropping from necro and the best weapons from hrung.

In conclusion the issue is the usability of what does drop and not the loot table, those weps will come soon 0/7 kills sounds super unlucky.

Shadow bow from necro last kill, dark gele bow last kill, mordy drops alot of helms lateley, dark lightning skull from hrung last kill.

Havent noticed a lesser weapon drop rate

Last hrung dropped no skull, last mord dropped a focus spear and no helm, last necro dropped 2 blunt rings and no weap, last gele dropped 2 braces and a ring.

Gele rings are perfect for hotbar swapping as they are just upgrades of spider rings with so many different skills available. Also dg loses skill points so the gele rings bring skills back up to max. So actually lots use gele rings...as for braces, currently i would use a cruel barbs brace over a prot str/dex/attack. Maxes my sharpen weaps and boosts my damage a lot. Sure lots of the braces are worse but for someone already with high attack there are some braces that are very good.

I have noticed almost no mord helms dropping at all recently. As for weapons on arawn, necro rarely drops any weaps lately, havnt seen a hrung skull for a bit, mord still dropping spears often but few books but gele drops too many axes. We have very few bows daggers and totems, a few shadow wands yet we have so many axes that they are beginning to be banked.

You only get 1 hotbar slot ring so you can only do it once unless you wanna alternate 3 rings which sounds like way too much effort.

Who are these lots who use gele rings? I almost never see any rogues or rangers using them, some DPS warriors do but thats a very small minority of melee DPS.

Maxing sharpen weps boosts you damage quite a lot? You must be trolling maxing sharpen weps from 45-50 gives at best 15-20 damage which is useless on endgame bosses.

As for your statement on high attack unless your attack is breaking the 20k mark you do not have high enough attack and a fair portion of your shots are actually missing which reduces damage dealt by 100% instead of sacrificing 5-10% damage for less of those 100% damage reductions.

Haven't noticed a lower rate. Got my void fb skull a couple weeks ago, so maybe I'm biased. But we still seem to have necro daggers and shadow/void halberds dropping quite often

The reason you dont see people with gele rings is usually because they are hotswapped. It is actually very easy. You have a page with 4 skills on one side and the rings for each skill next to them. I personally only hotbar a godly necro dbl shot brace and a longshot ring, but ik rogues who hotbar sneaky qs ss assasinate and poison weaps rings in order to get the rings boosts and get skills to 50. Ik mages and druids who hotbar rings to max much more of their spells, one mage in resurgence hotbars ammies, miscs, braces and rings in order to max most skills. Just because you dont use them an you dont see, doesnt mean they are not used.

Also, cruel barbs brace actually adds 600 bow ability, adding damage as well as attack and also heat damage. This is on top of the sharpen weaps skill points so yes quite a large damage boost. When having 13k+ lixed attack i believe that is more than enough to warrant a good damage boost over a bit more attack. Theres also these braces for warrior, adding axe ability magic damage frenzy an rupture, rogue braces adding dagger cold and skills, ranger brace adding bows str and skills etc etc. as they add attack(maybe less than a prot brace) they are extremely good braces as they boost far more damage and add skill points.
Edit: typos

According to OTM, as I understood it, this is all by design so that less dominant clans will not fall too far behind. Seems illogical to me but that has always been their principle regarding powerful items dropping from bosses, hence why no significant improvements have been done.

Gele still only drops 3 items which is the most baffling of all. 2/3 of them, even 3/3 gets banked.

Idk I love the stats on Gelebron braces but only ones worth using is the damage ones and weapon ability boost then whatever skill points come with it also depending on the tier I would base over which prot I'm currently using.

I hotbar a lure brace, brace plus attune ring for attune casts, occult/beastbone gloves, silverweb shards ring, and mord firestorm ring. Haven't found this to be excessive yet; I may add another item or two to the rotation
