does luck bonus contribute to finding legendaries?

[CausticNova☣]

I've played 112 hours. Playing my lvl 75 engineer NG+ and wondering if my +14 luck bonus is contributing to my chances of finding legendaries.

Also what are the chances it'll even be for my class?

It does help, but the legendaries are so gosh darn rare that you can't realistically expect to even find one of them in one playthrough. Much less one that's actually good for your character.

Except the level 105 legendaries. Those are easy, you can even get them from the gambler. Easy to see them in the gambler's pile because they cost tons more than any other item, too.

... Legendaries are the red ones, or are you talking about the oranges, uniques? Oranges can show up pretty much anywhere and do benefit from luck, yes.

The red ones.. I just finished me second playthrough so NG++ now, still nothing. Kinda of bumming me out at this point.

Yeah, at this point, I'm looking for a good mod to address this. With D3 ramping up the Legendary drop rates, I have little reason to want to go back to T2 without a better Legendary drop rate. :(

It helps a little bit. Treasure Hunter is a spell that boost your chances of finding good loot. Also do NG5.

Just get to max level, you'll be getting a lot of them then.
The gambler after lv100 areas can sell them sometimes, too.

14 luck isn't much. You get + 13% from lvl 5 treasure hunter.

At max level I'll be less inclined to continue playing... :\

Yeah, had I known how infrequently the stupid Legendaries dropped, I wouldn't have reviewed it as highly on my blog. :(

I think there are mods that will guarantee you Legendary in the late game or something like that. BTW, I also like the guaranteed Uniq from golden chest a lot. It makes the game a bit more worth while for me.
