Yeah, this was poorly implemented. As of now, HM drops are the only way to get both exotic and legendary gear to 320.... AND the HM that does drop isn't even necessarily 320.
There should some guaranteed (and changed) drops:
Glyph:
Ghost Shell = 311-320
HM Class Item = 311-320
Players don't want to see this in the endgame loot table once they get a 320 ghost or class item. Put this in the raid table ONCE and let players focus on armor/weapons, which is what we really want.
Warpriest:
HM SR = 311-320
HM FR = 311-320
HM SG = 311-320
HM RL = 311-320
HM MG= 311-320
No changes here, except the sisters will share an identical pool so players will have more chances to collect each of the 5 secondary/heavy weapons.
Golgy:
HM Chest = 311-320
HM Arms = 311-320
HM Boots = 311-320
No changes here. He's a brick wall. Getting armors from a brick wall seems appropriate...
Sisters:
HM SR = 311-320
HM FR = 311-320
HM SG = 311-320
HM RL = 311-320
HM MG= 311-320
This gives more opportunities to at least GET one of each kind of weapon. I personally never even saw a rocket launcher throughout all of NM. Now, players will get secondaries/heavies - but can instead focus on infusing up to 320, rather than simply getting shafted with a 310 HM sniper after 30+ runs....
Oryx:
HM Helmet = 320
HM Primary = 320
[i]*May also drop an exotic IN ADDITION TO the raid gear.*[/i]
Oryx should drop a guaranteed '320' item since there's essentially no other way to get exotics or other gear to '320'. With each boss/stage having a guaranteed drop, the issue with forever 311-315 BS drop syndrome will go away. People can slowly infuse 1 weapon/helmet up to 320. Oryx is pretty damn hard for most folks if they lack the drops to even challenge him. The drop should reflect the effort/skill required to beat him.

I agree, but the change would have to be to whole raid or else you'd see nothing but Oryx farming. LFG would be a bigger nightmare

Edited by Vercingetorix07: 10/28/2015 7:29:28 PMOryx doesn't drop secondary/heavy weapons, the ghost, or the class item, or the chest, the arms, or the boots under my revision suggestion. There's only 5 items to farm... LOL The idea is that after you get those 5 items, you use the rest for infusion of exotics.

hard Oryx can drop all of those things

Yeah, his drops should be focused - not the entire loot table. Do you really want to go through the entire raid, finally beat Oryx, and just get a 310 ghost? LOL
