Are staff of herdings filtered from intelligence classes by smart loot? I play witch doctor, currently paragon 850 hardcore. I have not found a staff all season. I also spoke to a wizard in my clan (paragon 900) and he said he hadn't found one until he started playing barb.
I cant figure out if i have just been really unlucky and have confirmation bias or if this is actually happening. Does anyone have any info on a bug? or if it is intended? why would that staff be filtered from int classes?
Staff of Herding is a crafted item from the recipe dropped by Izual as the others have said, it's used to access whimsyshire - which is pretty much pointless now with rainbow goblins spawning portals to whimsydale which is the exact same thing.
I assume you're talking about the bovine brodiche which opens a portal to the cow level when used in Kanai's Cube like a Puzzle Ring, I play a wizard and can confirm I haven't found one all season or any last season so I'd say it is filtered out of intelligence loot tables for some reason.
I have gotten 3 total in this season. My main is a WD. i know for a fact that i got one of them leveling the WD. The other 2 im not actualy sure about. I have played both monk and crusader aswell. And i might have got it on one of them and the one i got while leveling might have been a non smart loot drop. I do get those every now and again.

thank you.
Staff of herding isn't really necessary for anything anymore. Nor is it filtered in any way. Just gotta murder Izual a lot.

It's filtered out of classes that cannot use polearms. Wiz cannot use Polearms so you'll only get it as an off class drop.
I am playing a wizard as my main in season 5 and I just found my first Bovine Bardiche of the season last night. So I'd say it's not filtered out.
On the flip side, I was getting a bunch of Crusader set gear and DH bows last night too. So who knows.
Technically speaking "filtered out" basically just means it's a non-smart drop. Which means it's rarely going to show up.
If you got the mats to burn, you can just upgrade 2 hand polearms. It's what I had to do on my DH.
