I have never understood the attraction of ELyR. You get a 2AP bonus, but for the most part that doesn't get you much. The attack cost is 5AP, so you get two attacks per round, which is what you would get without the 2AP bonus. If you invest skill points and get CS2 you get to 14AP, and you still only get 2 attacks per round. If you get JoF or Marrowtaint then the attack cost drops to 4AP, so you get 3 attacks per round with or without CS2. So the only benefit I see is that it makes Combat speed worthless, and you invest those skill points in something else. For a two-handed sword, the Gleaming claymore of ruin is better.
As far as HoF goes, the base stats are similar to the DP. But there's a reasonable chance of getting a condition that boosts both AC and BC by 20, which is significant. OK, there's also the possibility that your AC and BC will get nerfed by 20, but it's 4x less likely than the boost. I would rate it as the best helmet in the game. Not so much better than anything else that it's a must have item, but enough so that it's a nice to have (even very nice to have) item.
Note that I’m still trying to grind a RoLs but if I’m not wrong then if you dual wield Elthyrian Redeemers with 2x action point skill and JoF then you have a total of 16Ap with a 4Ap consumption rate... Its a lot less work to just get 6 attacks by DWing quickstrike daggers but hey!
The ELyR is a two-handed sword. Hence, no dual wielding
Ah, Is it? Ooops.

It is random, so statistically there is no point at which you "should get one".

yeah, I know how drop chances work but when you kill double the avarage amount of monsters that would statisticly drop item, being a bit frustrated should be understandable

Then you are deceiving yourself. Unless you change your MF skill, it never goes faster, or slower.

I'm not a big believer in MF skill ..
If every skill point possible is put into MF skill, it creates a 60 out of 10,000 chance of obtaining a legendary item - HOWEVER, those are your chances every skirmish - the game does not count your skirmishes & give you credit for them..
I have an MF skill level of 3, @ level 111 &..
I have; 2 & 1/2 RoLS
1 RoL
1 EyR
1 HoF (5000 shamans!)
& 1 or 2 of each of the extraordinary
items...
Some were easy, some were extremely grueling..
Just sayin', it's all luck -
Sometimes you're the dog..
But usually you're the fire hydrant.

With legendary items, you are the fire hydrant 9999 times out of 10000
