Who is getting great succes in HE dragons?

Yeah title says it all i guess, just wondering which classes are currently getting great succes when you join the zerg feast for dragons currently? My 17.5k cw sure as hell isnt getting great succes ever, so just wondering what classes are?:)

Only way i can get great succes is by starting at another dragon than the zerg team, that way i can get great succes on 2-3 of the dragons, but of course i wont get anything from the dragons i dont attack, not sure it is worth it though, some people claim in zone chat that you need to attack all 5 dragons for the greatest chance of artifacts dropping?
Oh Yeah and still havent received anything but junk, and 3-4 purple items...:(

    My DC has received great success a few times, as has my TR. It seems to depend on timing and how many people are in the encounter.

    Lots of blues, and two high prophet items for my DC.

    I never get great success in a zerg with my 17.3k sentinel. Thus I usually release one rotation and rush to the next dragon and like that till red dragon where I have like 2 minutes alone time with the dragon. That pretty much guarantees me a great success and a 4 normal basic ones from the other 4 dragons.

    I get great success all the time (TR), and I see now we're getting blue quality gear from dragons.

    Of course, prior to the fixing of SoD, my TR was getting great success at almost every dragon in the rotation, but due to being a casual player, I was only able to run three of those rotations before the SoD feat was reduced (the OP aspect is gone, but it is still not working as described). During that time the only nice item I got was one artifact belt (strength one), which I promptly sold on the AH for about 550k AD.

    Since the "fix" of SoD, I have only gotten great success 1 time in 2 more full rotations - no good drops. The groups sizes have been pretty huge, though, which probably has a lot to do with that. Zerg rush . . .

    I find it really varies for my 17.5k CW. In some groups I can get Great Success on every dragon. In other groups I don't get it at all, even though I do exactly the same thing.

    They should make this work like the ICD epics, which seem to have a threshold rather than a ranking.

    In ICD I got Great Success every time with every char if I arrived in time. Not so much in WoD's zerg festivities.

    15k TR, getting Great Success on maybe 1 of 5 dragons, and I typically skip one because I can't get there in time with my rank 1 mount. However, it doesn't seem to matter. In the last 12 hours, I got maybe 1 or 2 Great Success (I honestly wasn't looking), but 3 epics not for my class. The first day I got Great Success and got a belt. Great Success doesn't seem to have anything to do with drop rate on stuff, and I've clearly gotten epic quality rewards on Heroic Success. The dragons are still melting due to mega zerg w/cheese edition groups. The rewards though, are far better than dragons outside the Well.

    I get it sometimes on my CW.

    With my DC it's pretty impossible to get... and I feel guilty because I use High Prophet and P. Terror, making the dragon go down pretty fast D:

    i've gotten it on all the classes (i have one of each current class)
    however i don't go with the zerg, i start on green or blue, no point i'm not 20k+ gs so i know i won't get it - except on my TR but i usually only do dailys and go to another toon (working the boon grind).

    GWF, no great successes unless I went against the rotation, then I got 2 for 2 dragons. My only decent drop was an epic dagger on my very first dragon, which was a regular success. (around 40 dragons killed here to date)

    I got a great success on the first dragon yesterday however it gave me the Fatebender Gloves for a CW even though I was on my HR, go figure. Otherwise I have just been getting blue item drops.

    Doing just fine on earning a Great Success, myself... Then again, that's to be expected. ;)

    I guess I've just been lucky. My CW with a GS of about 15.5k gets it it about 75% of the time and my HR with a GS about 17k. gets it about 50% - 75% of the time. I have only received 2 pieces of epic gear ( TR Blades & DC Helm, both T1 ) from these so far, both on my CW. I have only done about 5 of these so far so I should not expect much from this few attempts. I just wish they would increase the drop rate for those hoard boxes as I am very unlucky at getting those. Only got about 15 of them total for both characters after many many hours of trying. I guess its a good thing this is a weekly since it looks like with my luck it will take me a week to get 25.

    18K HR, I don't think I have received any great success.
    16K CW, 2 great success thus far. But if I stay in the mob, can almost guarantee no great success.

    Great success on a DC is really difficult if you are the healing type, because there are so many people that the dragon dies before they can take enough damage to let the dc heal them (and if they get hit a potion pops up immediately)

    The larger the zerg, the less chance I have to get a great success on my 16k combat HR. Especially when the dragon dies in 30 seconds or less. I barely have time to get off a full rotation, including switching between melee, ranged and taking damage.

    Have yet to see anything worth while. Just some T1 gear which has lost any value it had on the AH. Only good for salvage now. Got a DC high prophet helm just to find it's only worth 5k at best last night.
