No Drop caused by minions / culling strike ?

First of all, if a unique/rare can drop 0 items, just discard this report.

Ref-Nr.:733746047

I'm not sure if this is a bug, but it happened several times.
I have never realized a rare/unique mob that would drop nothing on other chars than this.

My impression is, that some skill / minion / whatever is causing the mob to not drop items.

Im running with:
- Raise Spectre (Flame Sentinels), Faster Casting, Minion Damage, Lesser M. P.
- Firestorm, Culling Strike, Item Rarity.
- Raise Zombie, minion Damage, minion Speed, minion Life.
- Spell Totem, Summon Skeletons, Minion Damage.


To the screenshot:
My mouse is targeting the corpse that didnt drop anything.
On the left side, behind the chat window is another dead rare, which dropped 4 white items.

Yes, I strongly suspect something like this is still going on. It's very inconsistent, but I have noticed a few times that endgame map bosses will sometimes drop absolutely no loot. This has only ever occurred on my dual totem explosive arrow character, so whether burns, trap damage, totem damage, or ground fire degen damage is at fault I can't confirm. My current setup does not use culling strike anywhere.

Noticed that also, against Uniques and Rare mobs while having summons around.

This is in need of attention.

this happens to me when burning ground of fire trap kills the bosses/uniques (only if it takes some time to kill)
no loot at all and its for sure because it happened a lot to me, even in unique bosses of maps with 90iiq
I`m using a lot of minions too and i noticed that.
Also when boss dies in a narrow place or close to edge of the map (i think he drop outside the map somehow).

Is kinda strange for a map boss to drop 2 blue items when i have 300 rarity and 50 quantity but it happend few times.

Looks like when is surounded by minions and near map edge boss (not only big boss but yellow and blue too) will drop items in the free space around them. Since there is not much space left around they drop as many items they can throw in the space left.

Best test place : spider lair map.
Pull boss in a narrow tunnel, start summoning as many as u can and enjoy your 0-3 blue drops.

If there is no room for items to drop on the ground when a monster dies, they now stack on top of other items rather than not dropping.


This might be the answer.
