How does world boss loot work?

[Lighthope]

Are drops based on participation? Does that mean that if you aren't guilded you shouldn't bother? What if you aren't meta or are a healer build? Does this mean you are out of lucl?

Yup. You have no chance. Game is pretty lame for looting rights.

That's too bad. I really wanted to like this game.

No, you can get a drop as a solo... I have seen it many times. A solo player getting the epic drop while an entire guild there rages, lol

Basically, you party up with randoms. If you care about loot, just take level 50 people with good gear. The more damage your party does, the more chance you have for it to drop for you. If you die, that chance decreases.

Tl;dr - group up with 50s, deal damage, don't die.

So this seems to contradict what the poster above you said in which a solo person can get loot.

Which is it?

Solo doesn't mean not be in a party at all. If you can't click a blue link for group at the boss then maybe MMOs just aren't for you anyway.

if you played aion
"like that".
but don't worry, while WB loot is generally best in slot at launch it won't take long before dungeons is where you go for your sets and WB's are for other resources

The good drops from field boss are like a .3% chance I hear, just need to participate, I'm pretty sure PvP ones go to the highest damage dealer.

That sounds like going to a colonoscopy party and finding corn on the pull out. Best loot in a PvPvE with most damage dealt. Yikes.

While you may have less of a chance, it's not "no chance." I got an epic helm from Chernobog today, and I was a solo level 40 tank with no idea what I was doing.

No, you didn't. People telling healers and tanks they can get loot so the continue to have support.

It's all about damage done, just like in every game out there.

That's why Guilds back in the day came up with their own reward point system.

But good try.

Go Sword and shield or Healer wand. You will get the drop. Utility builds and classes have high chance to get since they are the rare players. Especially tanks!

#11 anyone can get the drops our healer and off healer tank got a drop in back to back world bosses. You are patently incorrect. Then our dps got a drop afking no damage. You are wrong.

I play solo and have gotten purples at bosses. Its a KMMO it is heavily rng based. Dungeons on the other hand I have like 0 luck and I run cross/dagger so idk maybe I'm bad. xD

Some people have no clue and just guess into the white in here. You can get loot solo no problem. Your personal contribution counts not the group. Friend of mine is No. 1 Staff/Dagger and does Worldbosses on a daily base. He droppen 5 Items so far within 7 days. Wolf Mask for excample 2 times, etc.
