I don't know if this has been noted yet or not but I noticed the only high stat rolled armor comes from anything that is paid for content. Anything like forges, gambit, strikes, etc. seem to drop in the mid to high 40s.
Now I farmed these same pieces during season of undying and was getting a more consistent mid to high 50 stat rolls on armor from these same instances, seems like season of dawn had the armor tuned to drop lower stats from my experience.
Anyone else notice this?

I agree, my best rolled armour came from season pass. But I have had one or 2 good stat rolls from random drops after all the time I have put in on this season. (rank 130). These would be >60 stats.
-
Yep, best armour I have is from season pass, everything in game, including exotics are terrible.
-
I've never gotten anything above the mid 50s that wasn't an exotic (usually in the 60s), or a season pass reward. I got some EP armor that was in the mid to high 40s. I guess that's why I don't try to min/max. It's not implemented very well.

in the season of the Undying, IB gear was dropping in the 60's. For this season, the best I've seen is the season Righteous gear that you can get by upgrading your "seasons" and that's in the mid 60's. If next season there's only one particular set that drops high beginning stats, then we have a pattern forming.
-
Higher stat gear is limited to the following end game activities. Exotics. All raids give higher stat gear, even the leviathan. Iron banana also gives high stat gear. and thats about it.

Yes I certainly have. The seasonal armour in the artifact actually gets to a point where the armour has really high base stats. That’s the best I’ve seen for this season. The drops in all armour when playing have been noticeably lower this season. Even IB. IB offered the most consistent drops of armour with typically base 55 or higher last season. I cashed in 1500 IB tokens when IB came out a week or so ago. That’s 75 packages (used after completing the quest line)and did not get a single piece of armour with base stats 60 or higher. Not one. I ran the Garden raid earlier this week. Got my usual multiple drops of gloves. Nope all low 50s base stats. Same with Pit of Heresy where you always get a MW’d Dreambane armour piece. Ran the Pit on two characters this week both times the drops were lower than what I already had so these drops became infusion fuel. D2 is not in a good place right now.

Edited by zJDz: 1/5/2020 4:08:46 PMThe season pass has very high stat roll gear. Legs, boots, helmet, not sure on the chest piece though. All will be 80+ when fully masterworked with a mod equipped. I fully masterworked the gloves and they are at 86.

“Pinnacle” level content drops the high stats. So raids, Iron Banner, Reckoning, etc.

Iron Banner was dropping 60+ for me.
