Are loot drops and quest rewards based on your class?

I've been playing a Sword and shield, heavy armored sorcerer and have got 80% of drops as light armor or staffs. I had 8 staffs at level 6, but no new one handed weapons.

No, there is no class tailored loot. Would be pretty difficult too considering all classes are capable of using all weapons, so the game wouldn't really know what you need.

Hmm, I was mostly farming the same area.

Are certain enemies more likely to drop certain types of weapons then?

For example, killing a mage is more likely to drop a staff than a mace.

No. The type of mob has no influence on the type of weapon or armor it drops.

That's the nature of a random number generator, it can have long streaks of one thing or type of thing before ending and evening out over time. At the end of a sufficient period of time, you should have enough of the weapon types that you want.

Well i must be very unlucky then. Thanks dudes.

Edit: inserted an "s"

Loot must be totally random because I looted a two handed great sword from a mudcrab on my Breton Sorc not long ago. How it managed to hold onto it so I could loot it is anyone's guess.

I would think it's random as although you may be one class you can equip any weapon so having class limited loot would take away from the custom player builds
