I am hearing that with the new dt2 bosses the drop tables change depending on how you kill the boss.

I think this is a very ridiculous idea. I just want to kill the boss why do I have to kill it a certain way to get better chances at getting the drop it really seems ridiculous to me.

Raids okay i get it, but also those scores and values arent hidden.

Now we have new hidden boss mechancis where if i dont equip certain equipment or kill the boss exactly how jagex wants me to then I get punished with a crap drop table. Its really disheartening to slightly misclick once and take a 15 from leviathan and now i have no access to good drop table. Really not a good move.

According to the OSRS wiki, you get 50% more common loot if you correctly deal with the boss mechanics (The Whisperer page says it pretty much without a doubt). As far as they know there it doesn't seem like it affects the unique drop table.

Right now, it doesn't seem like equipment affects the droprate in a direct manner. Of course, better equipment will probably mean better odds for getting a better/perfect kill. Encouraging players to properly deal with the bosses in this way is a nice incentive to mastering the boss.

Look, when droprates start changing due to chosen equipment or due to other odd requirements, I'll be right there with you on the bandwagon. But getting an extra incentive to master the boss in the form of 50% more common loot? I'd say that is a nice way of recognising your mastery over the boss in question.
