Purging Evil staff: Is it still in the loot table?

Either the RNG is trolling me, or the Purging Evil Staff drop rate is so low as to be effectively zero, or it has been removed from the loot table.

FrostFire gear?  easy.

HeartyBlockade gear?  easy.

ToweringPoison gear?  easy.

PurgingEvil?  Nope, can't find it.

Definitely wasn't removed, found one just yesterday while carrying on lower nm.  I average around 1-2 PE per week of gameplay, though it did take me a few weeks to find a nm4 one with high % and def power.

Only found one frost fire staff 

one poison Bow and 

2 purging evil

  and u find it easy?  RNG yay

I have the exact opposite situation :)

No problems in finding purge, but can't find any good hearty gear.

Found a few over the last days.

It's just RNG, and don't play a monk. =)

I got my first last weekend, nm2 liferoot, playing as tank squire

I think so.

Pandynator that is a very nice staff there 

I see more Purge Evil than any other thing in this game. I also don't play as a Monk, maybe it's bugged.

Still I laughed when you said Hearty Gear is easy to drop.

Yup:P Got it today, so I can confirm it's in the loot tables.

Can't complain about 16k+ purge dmg:P

I r jelly.

Grats though. You must of been stunned when you saw that thing drop.

As [[43706,users]] has confirmed, it is indeed still on the loot tables. It's my favorite Monk staff, in fact...

I'd like it to be my favorite too if the darn thing would just show up!

I played 40 hours in the last two weeks, and it's still missing  :(

I have 120 hours played and still haven't found a single PE staff

Does it drop totaly random or only on a certain map, or mob type, or only betsy? Really like the design of the staff, just for that I would like to farm it! :-)

its supposed to drop from ramparts incursion boss but ever since a few patches ago it was broken

blacksmith, one of the lead devs said he'd look into it.  Dunno if it's been fixed.  Hasn't been announced in any of the patch notes since the playerbase discovered that boss wasn't dropping any of its special legendary weapons.

But because it's a "passive" legendary it can drop from any nightmare map round4+ regardless of the current hero being played.  That's currently the only way to get it

From my experience of playing quite a few hours the best place to get it is from end game chests. The best chance seems to be when playing Apprentice on that last wave.

If you are desperate for one don't play NM3 or 4 as loot seems to go down drastically after NM2. Play monk through to wave 7 then play apprentice. Good luck.

589 hours total here, and I've never found a single Purging Evil staff either :(

I found one on ramparts nightmare 3, 120 hours in. 

Build passive weapons are pretty rare in general. I play a couple hours a day, and I'll find maybe 1-2 a week. When loot is fixed in one of the upcoming patches, the ones we do find will be a lot more useful. Like seriously, who wants a purge evil staff with hero health?

Maybe the staff is bugged for some players?

At least thats my guess...

I think you have a higher chance to get it if you DONT play a monk. That's the feeling I've gotten atleast. Might be pure bias. But end chests seem to consistently drop it.

When I play monk, it feels like I always get "Legendary polearm".
