Tbh the 5th and 6th link isn't that insane for poe2 due to the support gem limitations. Sure at higher tier pinnacles it might matter a bit but by that time you should have found at least a couple greater (if unlucky). Not gonna lie I kind of like the drop rate of them. I could even prefer if they made them non tradeable and as compensation guarantee 1 greater at level 75 and one perfect at 85 or 90 as quest reward to protect vs extreme cases of bad luck.

Still haven't found any beyond lesser, and I'm lvl 82.
I was around that level when I dropped my first greater. Using the atlas passive and running the respective biome (blooming field is where I found 100% of mine, 2 in 1 map and 1 prior). Keep farming - it'll drop.

True, I've only used 2 of the perfect orbs I've found. Can't think of another skill I'd want, or would benefit from being, a 6L.

Corrupt your gems for a +1 to skill level. You'll blast through them then.

I could, but most of my dmg is from triggered skills. They're all corrupted +1 and the socket # dont matter for them.... may do some gamba on the cast on ignite now that you mention it though.

I found 2 perfects in the same map! And then at no other point in 170+ hours.

And let's not forget the fact that you need multiple of these not only one or two per character. The whole game is balanced around players running multiple 6 link setups.
Also since you only "link" the gems these are ineffective on other characters while in poe 1 I had a good 6 links I could use it on multiple characters. I just had to recolor or build the character around it. Here if my main has a 6 linked srs and I make a melee alt I can't do anything with that.
These are far to rare for what they are.
No, the whole game is NOT balanced around multiple 6 links. The reason they are rare is that they are a min/max endgame goal, not a requirement.
5 link is fairly cheap and easy to get using vaal orbs. One or two of those is enough for all current content.
Stop confusing POE1 for POE2.

Closing in on lvl92...
I just bought 1 6Link out of sheer frustration because these SOB's just won't drop (and yes that includes running maps well over the magical 150%MF with double breaches, more rares, more rare modifiers, more monsters and a lot of increased quant as well)
