What are the mathematical odds...

Of the same legendary dropping twice within 1 minute? They weren't duplicates, but I thought it was kinda bizarre. As if I could actually figure out how to replicate that...

I have gotten rare exact duplicates before though. It hasn't happened in awhile, so I'm not really sure if they fixed it or if it's just because I don't really pick up rares anymore (only 1H and jewelry).

I've had two depth diggers drop off the same mob in A3 keeps once. They were both insta brim but it was exciting at the moment to see it.

i believe it's a known bug since 1.02, doesn't happen all the time but it happens.

When I was farming using monk, I often see the same rare (before ID, same item name) dropping off the same mob. Their stats were not the same though.

It made me wonder if under some circumstances I could actually double my loots e.g. sometimes I thought it was because I finish my last blow with SSS. Wasn't there a bug with exploding palm before, that it yields multiple drops?

A month or so ago, I killed an elite and got 3 Rare ilvl 63 shields, a blue ilvl 63 shield and a white ilvl 63 shield as the only drops from him besides a little gold. Just too bad they were all crappy.

I would be anxious to see when 5 set chests drop off a same elite.

i've never seen same legendaries off the same mob, but i've often seen same rares as previously mentioned in this thread... so i can assume its possible that the same legendary could drop x2?

however, the OP said off different mobs, so i think those odds are pretty slim... unless you're talking about ivory towers, or mighty belts... then its possible :/

That reminds me. There was a curious note in the patch 1.0.7 notes:
Barbarian
Bug Fixes
Threatening Shout – Grim Harvest should no longer cause monsters to drop loot multiple times

No, it doesn't specifically say dropping the same loot, but it sounds like in certain cases, Barbs are getting extra drops in 1.0.6 when they should only be getting Gold and Health Globes.
