Lesser Jeweler's Orbs Drop Rate

I am currently in Act 2 Cruel (so act 5) and have only found one single lesser Jeweler's Orb so far.

Is this normal? I am sure last season I had more of these by now on my first character. But it is possible I am remembering the much faster twinked progression of my 2nd.

What are ypur experiences here? Have I missed some guaranteed drops maybe?

Jeweller orbs are much more scarce than they were in 0.1

I think I'd found ~10 jewellers orbs by end of campaign.

*i have no idea why.

All of them are... don't think I dropped a single jeweler until Act 3 ... 1st char to 75 2nd char to 86 and I've seen one greater jeweler...
You've already made ascendancy stupid after the campaign, we can't get a level 20 gem after hundreds of hours and now you are limiting our power further by not dropping any jewelers. Feels really good approaching 90 running 14 and 15s regularly and can't get the upgrades necessary...

How about if they are this stupid rare we can reforge them up to next tier ,games are supposed to challenging and FUN. KEYWORD FUN. seem to have forgotten this aspect.

To me, many of the loot woes remind me more of how many other companies balance and design around "engagement metrics". Make it just good enough for the player to almost have fun but keep it really annoying throughout so they stay on the treadmill for longer in the hopes they'll buy your MTX. Enjoyment and fun left the wider games industry years ago.

i have opposite experience in 0.1 i found only one less jeweller other than the one you get in act3.

In 0.2 i have found literally dozens sat on 50-60 atm and ive used them like candy

however i have yet to find any greater or perfect ones with 1 lvl 90 and a 2nd char also almost 90

Hmmm... so, is 1 lesser orb when in Act 5 normal? Or not?

To be clear, I am talking about the ones that take you from 2 support to 3. The Lesser Orbs.

I understand the greater and perfect ones don't drop much. But that's not what I'm asking. I'm sure I got at least up to 3 supports much sooner than this in 0.1.

they dont dropp at all until you need greater and perfect orbs lol. honestly every once and awhile i ask in general if anyone needs lessers. because i know they are scarce when you actually could use them and they drop so much while mapping that they are literally worth nothing.

they need to make it so you can use currency exchange in act 1-3. they are literally worth a few transmutes.
