I am mostly TOTC/ICC geared, and I only ever see HoS, UP, and sometimes HoL. I have gotten FoS twice, and UK or Gundrak once. Over the Christmas break, I got HoS and UP as random at least 5 times each.Ayonelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00624214391102108987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3065135122624892361.post-43613557719363335702010-01-06T04:08:46.246-05:002010-01-06T04:08:46.246-05:00they added 2 more nerfs to it as well this morning...they added 2 more nerfs to it as well this morning.Crivenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15194964384188065221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3065135122624892361.post-40850569584454368722010-01-05T12:23:22.905-05:002010-01-05T12:23:22.905-05:00I got Occulus last night on random.

There are three things you do need that are unusual.<br /><br />1) Somebody who doesn't get lost. It feels very freeform unlike other dungeons.<br />2) Someone who knows how to heal on the green drake.<br />3) A decent red drake tank with decent iLvl gear.<br /><br />Everything else is optional. You could three man it.Kheldulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12144686097363099402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3065135122624892361.post-87565073022292444262010-01-05T12:05:46.031-05:002010-01-05T12:05:46.031-05:00I'd appreciate it most if the random dungeon w...I'd appreciate it most if the random dungeon were completely random. As long as you can't get into a dungeon that will kick your ass, it's all good. Most folks are doing the random for badgers anyway so getting HUK will make them happy (fast easy badgers).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3065135122624892361.post-62229625179940032792010-01-05T11:28:47.220-05:002010-01-05T11:28:47.220-05:00My gear is significantly higher than ilevel 200s (...My gear is significantly higher than ilevel 200s (typically 232/245 pieces), and I have never gotten Occulus on random out of something like 3 dozen runs.<br /><br />In general, once you can join a dungeon via the random option at all, I have not seen any indication that it keeps you out of that dungeon for random selection. However, you will be limited based on what other people you get grouped with have for gear, so if you have a mage in blues in the run, you're not going to be able to have HoR. <br /><br />You can tell if you're locked from a specific dungeon by your gear by opening up the "Specific Dungeon" interface and looking for dungeons with locks next to them.<br /><br />The large number of people 'seeming' to get Occulus may simply be because you're filling holes: This change indicates that there is still a large number of people dropping group on Occulus when they get it on Random (otherwise they wouldn't buff the loot), and that means that you're likely to be filling in a spot for someone who left more often.<br /><br />But yeah. I get HoR all the time, but I never get Occulus. I'd definitely prefer Occ over HoR with most of the groups I get assigned to.Christopher Schmidthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17686963835871922877noreply@blogger.com
