Do inspirations have an equal chance of dropping?

[MikeSol]

Do all the different inspirations of a particular level have an equal chance of dropping from mobs? I am asking because the awaken one and the one that stops hold type effects don't seem to drop as much as some others.

[Without_Pause]

As someone who solos x8 a lot, no. Blues and Greens for understandable reasons drop the most.

Rezzes drop when you're low on health and endurance, out of inspirations, about to drop and just need a little something to keep you afloat for another second. Then you drop.  Almost prophetic in a way.

So, this is what my parser picks up for the month of September over all my chars (almost all level 50) and I usually have small insp disabled, and sometimes medium.

Unfortunately my parser doesn't figure out what was bought from Luna, and what got dropped, so those Super Insp can be ignored

If they do have an equal chance, then there's something gumming up the works.  I've often had play sessions where 8 out of 10 inspirations dropped are accuracy ones, and the other two are orange damage resistance ones.  And it goes on long after one counts up 10 of them.

I don't know what it is for sure but I get different drop rates of the various types of insps that seem to be related to archetype if not power set.

I'll have to pay more attention.

A this point I cut off getting certain types of insps, but before then, some of my characters would consistently get more end insps than anything else. They way that I remember it, they tend to have electrical powers, but I'm getting older and my memory can be crazy ... especially taking dreams of playing CoH into account.

I do think there are different drop rates for different tiers of inspirations, but I don't think there are different drop rates among inspirations in a tier (other than the 0% Iron Wills+)... at least not by "feel".  I want to disclose that I always "reject resurrection" inspirations (I just keep some in email), and I am 50-50 on if I have team inspiration drops turned on (Tankers, MMs almost always; Blasters, Scrappers almost never, other ATs depend on other factors).

 

I often have a "special tray" set up with macros to combine reds/yellows/blues into either heals or resist effects; I find that I can typically build characters that don't "need" red/yellow/blue for most content, but enemies can cause me to "need" greens/pinks. MMV based on AT and content of course.
