Getting wrong loot: random or bug?(1)Category: Technical SupportMarch-10-2014 3:14 PM PDT (9 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
I am a barbarian, i am playing only with my barb and nothing else. When the new patch came out and loot 2.0 was introduced, i got a sword, Sever, with intelligence! I did not care much that time because i thought it is just new system, maybe bug or stupid roll.

But today, i got Natalya's slayer, a set item crossbow, that can be used only from Demon hunters! I am not a demon hunter and i did not have any in my party...

Loot 2.0 is supposed to secure us from that kind of drops, am i right?
Anyone else has a same experience or it is a serious bug and should contact customer service?

Thanks in advance

Ichor,

It's not a bug. With the new loot system, items have a chance to drop with the new "Smart Drop" system. It's not guaranteed though so you'll still find items for other classes, just hopefully not as often.

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/12671560/patch-201-now-live-2-25-2014

The Smart Drop system has been implemented
All items that drop have a chance to roll as "Smart Loot"
Smart Loot items roll intelligently based on the character being played (example: A Wizard is more likely to find items with Intelligence or bonuses to Wizard skills than a Barbarian)
Class specific items will no longer roll stats inappropriate to their class (example: Intelligence will no longer appear on Mighty Weapons or Belts)
