A lot of the time when I'm grinding on my barb, i get around 8 - 10 drops every time I have to sell, but recently on my hunter I've gotten far less over the same amount of mobs killed.

Ok, let's just put it this way. It's not always 1.5% chance. Besides, probability is taught in the first level of secondary school here
Well, if the probability itself is random .... well, it's possible, that's NGD after all.

For example, each hour, pick a random number between 0 and 5, this is the base probability to get anything during that hour, divide it for items, magical and epic....
so yes, with bad luck, you can grind for hours getting no drop at all, and when lucky you can find few interesting items in few hours. If divider is 1000 for epic items ... at best 0.005% chance per hour to get an epic item, but it can be 0% for hours too.....

Just some stupid thoughts ....
