Do we all agree that the chance to roll a 35% FCR Spirit is ~1/10?

I've used the
Hel
+
Scroll of Town Portal
recipe and hoarded Spirit runes many, many times now and I yet have to roll a 35.
Unfortunately I did not keep count but I would say I am easily at about 25 rerolls now, I've gotten 34% about 4 times and many 25% rolls.

This has got to be unlucky, right?

(I was going for a 35
Monarch
first before trying to roll 35 on a
Crystal Sword
and decent levelling
Rondache
but now I'm scared)

Glad to know I'm not the only one struggling! xD

It's the same for me, I'm waiting for that 35% so I can drop
Magefist
and use
Chance Guards
instead without going below 105 FCR but now it's been weeks and those perfect MF gloves have just been gathering dust in my stash...

Well I'm happy that I didn't have that much trouble lol :D My first roll was 33%, second for my soso was 35% and then ama 34%, but the first and third one didn't need the fcr so all good.

yeah i would say thats just bad luck. ive done this and gotten 35 like 4 times out of 20. i have four Spirit monarchs and i just reroll them till i get one that higher than i switch it out and reroll the other, so at least they are always increasing. however, rnjesus is a fickle bitch sometimes she can be quite the miser with her luck.

It is not guaranteed 1/10 to roll 35. I have rolled my SR perhaps 20 or more times, rolled it over 10 times just yesterday to get to 35 finally. Before that I rolled all 30fcr or under, 2* 25fcr in a row. When I got my 35 tho, it turned out as 111mana, 7mdr so not bad in the end.

In case anyone wanted to know, 9 more Spirit rolls today, still no 35 o.o

Statistically with infinite rerolls you will get one eventually but in theory it is still possible that you will never roll one.

I'm personally done with Spirit rerollin - just paid
Mal
for one 35fcr/106mana/8absorb for my swap. Problem solved for me entirely. Perhaps i shall buy another one for main slot - it's better than
Stormshield
when you're fast-cowin.

Just made a 35FCR out of about 30 rolls. It has a perfect 15%ED 171 def base, in case someone is interested, here is the link for the item:

Is there a big difference between 34% or 35%? Or is it OCD?

Please feel free to reach out to me directly through Battle.net if you're interested in one of my items, especially if I don't respond immediately to a thread I've posted.

34% vs 35% might matter, consider Sorceress wearing
The Oculus
,
Magefist
,
Arachnid Mesh
. With a 34% Spirit she'll be at 104% FCR and will be exactly 1% away from reaching the last realistic breakpoint. And OCD, if it doesn't matter.

If you get a PM offer, post it in the trade. Promote healthy competition instead of settling for less. ;)

There are breakpoints for FCR, actually there are breakpoint for FHR/FBR as well.

Sometimes if missing that 1%, you won't be able to hit certain breakpoint, which DOES matter in game play.

Wouldnt the odds be 1/11 not 1/10

Correct. Since the range is 25-35 inclusive, it'd be 1/11.

Speaking as someone who has spent the past few weeks rolling hundreds upon hundreds of spirits...1/11 seems about right as well. Seemingly no "hidden bias" towards lower rolls.
(Sadly, the odds of a truly perfect Spirit aren't quite 1/11 ^^)

Have been lucky to roll a perfekt one.

Was about to throw all sorts of offers at you..until I read the part about the 143 base. :(

I managed to get every single 35/112/x variation at least once now, except for the elusive 8...RNG is just being mean!

The thing with low probability events, is that it's easy to go on a bad streak. If you roll a million of them, you'll get the right amount of perfect, but you'll also get streaks with 30, 40 misses in a row. Just variance.

But on a smaller streak, you can massively underperform your odds.

The odds of rolling perfect FCR are 1/11 (not 1/10).

The odds of not getting at least one over 11 rolls is 35%. ((10/11)^11)
The odds of not getting it with 20 rolls is 15%
30 rolls? 6%.
To go under a 1% odds, you need 49 tries in a row without success.

But you also need to consider the fact that thousands of people try to roll the same thing. So as unlikely as a <1% odds looks, someone is guaranteed to achieve this.

If 10,000 people try to reroll spirits, it's roughly 50-50 that one of them will go 100 rolls in a row without hitting 35.

That one person will think it's rigged or that the odds aren't 1/11 or that he's cursed... But statistically, it's not just normal, it's expected.

RNGesus works in mysterious ways. I rolled low Spirits in the 20%'s for like 10-15 in a row. I ask someone else to roll it for me, and it gets to 34% (shield) and 35% (sword) on first try. Ha.

As in life, if you're having bad luck, channel someone else's luck...

Still have to re-roll a 35% shield...
