How does it work?

-Last Hit
-Shared throughout # of players equally



This is the only 2 conclusion that I came to think of, however if you have any other thoughts or ideas on how other methods of Party Luck could be, please explain;

pretty sure it has nothing to do with the last hit.

the monster dies and every char there gets it's own roll of drops with your own luck taken into the equasion.

Would kinda make sence cus its the same creators as d2 and last hit was how it was bassed in there.
Thanks for your input this is a pretty good guess.

i heard that luck only affects the drop rate of white items = no use vs bosses?

luck is the inverse to white items. The more luck you have, you are reducing the chance of a white item to drop, thus increasing the chance to have green/blue etc drop.

Also, I think it not used for bosses, but I don't know exactly on that.

I don't know the details, but I will share my experience with iceT here (I was partyed with him, doing abby runs on HcE)

At first, we killed Abby about 20 times with our regular gear (little to no luck). I would find a legendary item every now and then, but not very often. IceT was getting bad drops. Then iceT got this idea of using those nova guns that adds 250-300+ luck (we both found one ^^ and I let him borrow mine).

Then I let him get the last hit on Abby, and legendary items become more common. I started finding more legendary items! It actually made a difference in MY drops, even tho iceT got the last hit! I guess it could be just coincidence. This isn't proof, of course, but it was just my experience. I dunno. I think it does make a noticable difference, even on bosses, and for other party members as well.

I have experimented with this also with Occy.

I have about 300 luck on him and I was in a group of 5. I spent about 10 runs just hurting him and letting others get the kill, I had already confirmed that they had little luck on their gear. Our gear was consistently ordinary.

I then started multi-rapid when his life was low so I would almost guarantee a final hit. I was getting lots of legendary items and often a unique each run.

So yah, I think it has an effect.
