To date, I have only ever found 1 weapon above 1000 dps - its a mighty hammer @ 1207 dps.
i am so Jealous! never even to this day with atleast 4-5 hours act 1 farm every day , have seen more than 700 dps weapon . (even 2H lol).
300% MF with NV. easy mode farming act 1...but... so unlucky!!
I wouldn't be too jealous, It was a blue hammer with 0.9 attack speed. I checked the auction house and they currently go for <100K so i just gave it to my buddy who's rolling a Barb.
So what I gather from some of the comments above is that everyone is pretty unhappy with their luck if they are here. I just want to state that I am not complaining. Playing this game is basically playing the lottery, with every kill being a random ticket for the 0.0001% (exaggerated?) chance of getting one of the hundreds of legendary/set item variations in the late game. And then, when you win that jackpot... they pick a ball out of the legendary/set item bowl... and voila.. i get the same ball twice in just 4 trys. Nevermind that it was a crappy item, i'm not complaining about that (or anything for that matter) i'm simply commenting on the outcome in general.
If nothing else i just wanted to know if this was common.. and it seems its more common than some might think. Is it "inevitable"? I'm not so sure.
That's like saying:
Play the lotto everyday because it's inevitable that you will become a millionaire someday, then keep playing because it will "inevitably" happen again.
What is more amazing to me is that Recipes for crafting items that you already know from the trainer drop! Nevermind the 6 prop patterns, I am sure one of those will drop over the next 4 years....
That's why I thought it was so strange in the first place. I had already trained the blacksmith on the helm... and then it drops two more times? Why is this even a possibility?
The auction house is already laden with garbage plans, and the blacksmith is useless until you find a 6 affix plan. Wouldn't it make more sense to only allow plans that you haven't learned drop?
Just think how much a Helm of Command recipe would go for if you had to make a choice: Learn it and have it forever (but it never drops again) or sell it for massive profit and hope you can someday find it again.
Maybe there's something to this "randomness" afterall... The best I can figure is that somehow the game knows my helm is really bad and wants me to craft a new one.
Let me start off by saying this - I know that there are still people waiting for their first legendary.
My response to this complaint: When you get your first, you will be sorely dissapointed.
I play as a DH - I have stabalised after the nerf to attack speed and I now have Act 1 Inferno on farm, I rarely die to anything short of fast frogs and those insect buggers.
I have completed about 20 or so elite/champ/warden/butcher runs this week and experienced much of what everyone else has complained about (useless rares, ilvl 63 drops are mostly white/blue garbage etc)
But one interesting thing has happened, and I wanted to share it.
Extremely rare item duplication.
I have found 4 Legendaries so far: Sultan of Blinding Sand, Sultan of Blinding Sand, Barter Town Pads and Arreats Law.
I have found 3 crafting recipes in the last two days.
They are : Exhalted Sovereign Helm, Exhalted Sovereign Helm and you guessed it Exhalted Sovereign Helm!
I actually found two of these recipes them in the same run.
To date, I have only ever found 1 weapon above 1000 dps - its a mighty hammer @ 1207 dps.
I just thought it was funny that considering the ridiculously rare nature of drops.. that I would end up with two of the same legendary, and 3 of the same crafting recipe.
If you have experienced similar results let me know. I will update this thread if i end up with another helm recipe..lol.

Yes - 11m should be enough to cover your repair costs.
Go for it! Good luck!
