A few days ago I got 3 Andariel's Visages. It struck me as insane RNG at the time, but I was reading someone in another thread saying they got multiples of the same legendary too.
With how many legendaries are in the game (at least 200 I'd guess, including set items) it should be incredibly rare to get the same legendary a few times in rapid succession or in a row.
It got me wondering if maybe it's not so random, and if maybe loot drops are seeded by random information about our accounts. The situation would not be unprecedented - there's a well known phenomenon in WoW where loot is determined by the first person to zone into an instance. Many guilds noted that they were getting the same loot week after week, and having someone other than their usual GL/RL zone in first changed the loot.
If this is true it would mean some people are hosed, if their account is seeded for the more worthless legendaries while other people are the "chosen ones" who get all the good ones.
2x WD set Boots
2x DH set Chest
2x Monk set Pants
2x MF Mace (forget the name)
2x(maybe 3x) strongarm bracers
3x cindercoat
2x those crappy low level shoulders
3x those crappy gloves... forget what they're called ilvl 61 I think
Strongarm x2 andariels x3 cindercoat x2 ... I'm having a shitty streak atm last 17 leggies ain't worth 2 mil put together but the last 8-)9 were the same 3 legendarie
i found 2 butcher's sickles yesterday within 3 hours. 1 with the worst rolls possible and the other with decent rolls i gave to a friend.
it's weird, i've found up to 10 legendaries in the last 3 days (only 1 decent one though, a nice str/vit lacunis and a badly rolled blade of the warlord. rest were vendor trash) but before that i didn't find a single legendary in over a month. random luck is random luck. hope this string continues. still no set items yet though
Certainly have! The winner for me would have to be Angel Hair belt

May the heroes rise from the pit of despair and the bards sing of the day of death renewed to everlasting immortality....awaiting your return to the lands of Sanctuary may peace be with you on this day...your day of birth.
I got Prowlers three straight runs, all around the same spot in the Heart of the Damned. It was uncanny. Sadly they all rolled absolutely garbage :(. Things like no main stat, health globes or thorns... one pair actually rolled health globes AND thorns... awful.

I also seem to be getting vigilance a lot.
