How is Loot generated for a raid? I've heard two theories. One is that Loot is generated when you enter the raid as part of that annoying load screen. That's where the game decides what loot drops for each boss.
This.
Loot is generated when the instance is created.
Loot is generated when the Mob spawns.

I was under the impression that the loot was generated as soon as the boss was killed. And before you click on the dead body, the system already knows what loot is on the boss.
I'm 100% sure that its when the mob is created.
There was countless arguments about this years ago...back and forth, etc, etc.
But then Blizzard stated that it was on instance/mob creation/generation/spawn.
Someone can do the research and get the blue for confirmation...

So if loot is generated when the person enters the instance, one of my guilds supperstitions is that having a different loot master/raid leader enter the instance will generate a different loot table than someone else. I am traditionally the loot master and raid leader and I've been getting constant complaints that the same loot drops every week. Would it matter who entered the instance as loot master/raid leader?
It's random. Loot has no memory. Every time it's generated it's independent of any other time. It makes absolutely no difference if you go into the instance first or someone else.
Whoever enters the instance first will generate the loot on the mobs, because it is at that time that the instance is created. But you will never know what loot was created unless you kill the boss :)

Wow takolin that's so witty. Almost like you read someone write that before somewhere and decided to reuse it somewhere else to seem like you're snarky or something. I wish to subcribe to your newsletter or pie is better than cake or something.
Your trolling contribution has embiggened us all and you've really won the internets. Good job.
My sarcasm detector appears to have gone off.
