Bugged Drop Rates?

My friend and I have been playing... started the last few days.  I main apprentice and he mains monk and we each other other characters for specific scenarios.

We have had extreme difficulty finding Polearms for his Monk.  We find very few and the ones we do find are extremely weak compared to other gear we are finding.  This has actually be evident across the board for all but apprentice staves.  I find those at appropriate levels for where we are playing. 

For more information....I am hosting and yes I usually use my mage in combat.  He uses his monk in combat as well.  We have played through almost the entire campaign thru act 4 on insane and are still finding sub PWR 50 polearms.  Can anyone tell us if there is something we should do or is this a genuine bug?

Also we are finding a MASSIVE overabundance of Offhand gear for ALL the characters.  Like 10-15 each a wave often Epic or Legendary.

Try Survival Mode - Ancient Mines.
You will see that much better items will be dropped.
You get the best items in MixMode Hardcore Rifted LK.
The best weapons you get from bosses.
Survival or MixMode here too.

The issue isn't getting weapon drops. We're getting tons of staves in the 300+ power range. Legendary rarity. We're also getting tons of secondary equips in that range too. We're getting almost 0 weapons for other heroes. This is persistent across multiple maps and game modes.

ah sorry. after each round, you have to open the chest with the hero you want to get a weapon from.
For monk weapons, you have to open the chest with the monk. this applies to every hero.

Just to test last night. I ran a mixed mode insane ancient mines clear to the finish. I played as monk the entire time for every battle phase (built with monk apprentice and huntress).  I got exactly 1 rare quality polearm the entire game. I was getting legendary rarity secondaries (offhand) and armor like crazy but almost no weapons for heroes other than apprentice. This includes chest rewards. And the polearm I did get was a floor drop not a chest reward. I got a few common and uncommon rarity ones and a few swords and huntress weapons but I got probably 200+ offhand drops.

This was the best I could manage because I'm near geared for a nightmare run atm.

Offahnds do not have such high rolls.
At the highest level of difficulty there are about 320 ups.
And as I said, you get the best weapons when you defeat a boss. 
Attached is a Google sheet with many of the drop locations.
The sheet is designed more for massacres.

I am aware that off hands should not be dropping as frequently as they are. That's why this post exists.  I don't know if it's an issue with how drops are calculated with hero selection or if there is something funky going on... But I'm seeing abnormal drop rates. It might be an issue with how drops are calculated for apprentice characters. I don't know.  That's why I made the post. It might be that the non apprentice weapons I've found are level gated and the apprentice ones I've found are not. I don't know.

The problem is that you want to have offhands with the right set. They don't get dropped quite as often.

Your clearly not reading what I am saying. I'm getting 200 to 300 offhand drops a game! A survival /mix mode game is dropping hundreds of offhands and little else.  That's the point of this post. I can understand getting some lower rarity gear. It's common enough but Im not joking when I say I'm selling 2 to 3 pages worth in the bag of legendary offhands between 2 waves or so. It's frankly insane how many offhand drops I'm getting. And its a majority whetstones and tomes (which makes sense for apprentice/monk games).

 

Sorry my English is not the best.
In that case you haven't set your loot filters.
They are there so that everything you can't / don't want to use is automatically sold.
 

 

Yea i know about the loot filters. I've used them to exclude the offhands we're getting so many of. The issue isn't getting rid of them it's the sheer number of them that are dropping. Literally hundreds a map.
