Circlet of Shadow should be common.
 

I've been camping it here and having the most ridiculously difficult time getting it. It's definitely the uncommon drop here when it should be the common. I camped Droga all the time on live for the idol and gauntlets.

I think people just assumed it was the normal rare/uncommon.
