This might sound hypocritical but I'm not hear to complain but rather just see if anyone has been having the same issues.
The first week-two weeks loot was "Smart" - Legendary I needed (Wizard) Sources, Wands, Tal Rasha Helm etc.
This last week and the worst was this weekend - I think about 6+ legendary 1h axe and 2h axes (it was weird just axes over and over) - I found one upgrade all weekend which was a Tal Rasha Source which was actually a 3% damage loss but I had the helm so I got the 2 piece bonus.
Is anyone else seeing this drop-off in smart loot?
I'm not sure I understand the failure of smart loot in this case? It's perfectly reasonable for an axe to be an upgrade. Pre-expansion I was using a 1h axe for many months.
gotten 3 crap thunderfury and a not too good azurewrath (well good for me but crap rolled 15% out of 20% and had to reroll other stuff on it)
Then i have gotten my share of good items i suppose but its extremely frustrating to have only seen like 2 pieces of set items that were both rolled worse than crap, and meanwhile see so many from my clan roll great legendary set items and such.
All in all if any id say smart loot isnt very smart considering 2 handers as they are imo almost, no always shit compared to a 1 hand+ source.
I've not received a legendary that was worth a damn for over a week, either it's for another class or it's terrible and becomes salvage fodder. I've probably spent 500+ shards on sources and haven't gotten anything.
Meanwhile I have a buddy who's gotten 2 legendaries from shards already, getting set pieces left and right, etc. ><
There are no "issues" its random chance to drop with random rolls. The only thing "smart" about it is you have a better chance of getting your main stat on the item. RNG is RNG. Thats my fav thing about diablo, the HUNT!!!
At least you've found some weapon. Out of 7 legs yesterday (9 hours of gameplays more or less) 80% of them was rings and belts. 10% was good stuff for my alts and let say i got a hand for the Vyr's set (on step closer to awesomness).
Oh and by the way yes i'm a wiz too who just hit the 1m dps
Sorry @shoqzie didn't mean to get people upset - I just wanted to see if people were having the same issue. Yes, I agree I like the "hunt" for the item you want. I guess I just attract 1h & 2h axes haha
My only complaint is that the majority of my legendaries that I find are rings. Other than that, it seems fine. I'm getting a pretty good mix of items. I've found a couple set items, I've found several weapons, I think the only thing I haven't found yet is legendary shoulders.
If I had a dollar for every St. Archew's Gage that I've found so far I would be able to go buy a dinner at a moderately-priced restaurant. It both bothers me and excites me, though, because I'm hoping to get a Tasker and Theo so orange "Gloves" get my heart beating faster. Then when I see they're St. Archew's Gage I cry on the inside.

Only 500? I'm up to nearly 20,000 shards collected. Over 15,000 of which have been spent on belts and I've only seen two legendary belts. Granted I've had AMAZING luck with Kadala and sources. But 2 legendary belts out of ~3,000?? It's become very frustrating trying to get a Witching Hour =(
