I went 3 months without an epic. Opened over 100 chests and combined at least 50 times w/ 4 stars. No luck. Then I opened one chest on a whim and got a Triskelion Wargear. Over the next 2 months I combined about 50 times and got 3 epics, got 1 epic in a war (Aegis of Sky Majesty), and 1 epic from one of the promotional epic boss events (Northerner's).

My honest advice. Keep hitting the epic bosses. Keep in mind the epic boss plus armors are now better than many of the epic armors and take less gold to max than an epic. Upgrade the basics to level 35 to get pluses than use the basics to combine and get epics but keep the pluses (because the stats are pretty good and combing pluses doesn't increases your chances to get an epic). The less elements the better. Meaning that combining two mono element armors is USUALLY better than 2 multi-element armors.
