ok guys i just did some testing on this and when you pair your character up with certain types of characters you can find epic sets easier and quicker. i'll list all i know and update as i find more. I would also like to add that all of these calculations are based on my character and the characters of people who have given me information. all of these people (including myself) have added to their armor a total of 15% (capped) loot drop chance.
first and foremost you will not find epic armor right away. it takes 2 to 3 hours of searching. however here are the pairs i have so far.
berserker:
bio-engenieer
berserker
champion* (25% more likely to find epic armor.......not like you have a 25% chance of finding it. but if an epic armor piece drops its 25% more likely to be yours.)
Defender:
Defender
Champion
Commando*(23% more likely for the epic armor to be yours)
Champion:
Bio-engenieer* (28% more likely for the epic armor to be yours)
Berserker
Commando:
defender
champion*(still trying to find the % for this. if anyone has information please feel free to tell me.)
Bio-engenieer:
Berserker*(35% more likely for the epic armor to be yours)
Champion.
*-means highest chance
( )-means when you are paired with that person, you have the highest chance of finding the armor, not them.
i will keep you all up to date on these and add anything new i find. but this does work pretty well and i have found i am 35% more likely to fine bio armor sets with a berserker. i do not know about cybernetic or human if it makes a difference. but as soon as i know i will tell you. if you have any questions just e-mail me at Flamesare1014150@yahoo.com or post them (e-mail will get a faster response)
i found the percent loss for dieing. the first time you die you lose 2%. Then if you die again you lose 1.5 time that 2%, which means you lose another 5%. If you die again multiply the 5% by 1.5 and you will lose 7.5% in addition to that. the math looks like this.
first death: 2%
second death: 2% + 5%= 7%
third death 7% + 7.5%= 14.5%
This continues each death. if you have not yet understood the math then you simply take the last answer from each equation and multiply it by 1.5% and then add that to the original number. this will give you the percent for each death. but by the third death you have lost over 50% of your bonus chances of finding the epic armor so it's best restart and try again without dieing.
