To be honest, I haven't seen very many of these shields for sale in the marketplace districts since their inception. I wonder if ANet needs to tweak the droprate a little on these?

I think its gd that they drop so little like now. Many of items drop like crazy and its not so special like before.
Personally i want one for my warrior but its kinda hard to get one and ppl are asking alot of money for em.

i've been on two duo runs where a gloom came up, for the other guy
in both cases the shield was a chest drop within the Ice Wastes. since the update before NF it's anyone's guess about drop location. sweet skin imo

How many bid on it? How many pixels it takes to create a Gloom Shield? What was the final attack you unleashed on your foe before it dropped? Once you're done please include a picture of your kitchen sink.

i was under the impression that these only dropped from chests in UW, including ToPK...but thats just me and HoH chests...but I think those can drop anything

Got 2 in UW. Both come from chests.

req9, +29hp always
req12, +45hp enchanted

Before the update I use to kill some of the coldfires in specific locations, just to be easy to join a great group of smites, never get a gold drop from them.

Chests drop loot from the mobs around them. The reason ectos and UW items can be found in the ToPK has nothing to do with the ToPK itself, it has to do with the Terrorweb Dryders and Banished Dream Riders, both UW mobs, in the zones.

They're very rare drops from mobs as it is, as I believe they can only drop rare. Therefore the likelihood of random loot rolling to be gold, and then to be a Gloom Shield is relatively small... as for what they drop from (besides chests), any mob in the Ice Wastes would be a good start
