Anyone else notice jeweller's orbs being less friendly RNG?

Since last patch really. An entire stack and can't even get 4 sockets on a level 70 or lower item. And this has been on weapons that can take 6 sockets so not sure why I'm getting busted on just 4. Has happened 5 times this past week just wondered if anyone else noticed. I know about bad streaks but this was over days. Worst was 32 orbs for 4 sockets.

For one, bad streaks has nothing to do with the number of days or anything else. Second, no, GGG did not change any drop/orb rates. Third, since it happened 5 times you said, with the worst being 32 orbs, that means you used less than 150 orbs, which is nowhere near the amount required to even make a solid guess on what the probabilities are. You're just having bad luck.
Yesterday I rolled 6 sockets with 5 jewellers. That was my lucky day. I guess this was just your unlucky day.
Found a Solaris Lorica yesterday , grabbed a stack of Jewellers and got 6 sockets in 15 tries .

For 3 chars yesterday I made 3 x 4 socket items and got 4 sockets between 1 and 3 tries , fused all links on said items for 7 fusings , now , where is that lottery ticket .

Just a pity I have 0 fusings , might of tried linking the lorica :)
ROFL @ Hardcore in this game . ALT F4 for FTW . Hardcore my arse .
I took me over 60 to 4 socket a pair of boots yesterday.

The boots themselves only cost 1C.

burned over 200 jewelers on my god dam
Cloak of Defiance..still no 6s.
Now i am broke...back to farming


6s in less than 20 (30?) jewelers. dont ask me why i try to 5/6Link it..

i do not even consider buying non 4L boots or gloves as my luck with 4s/4l them is BRUTAL

this entire concept of sockets and links is badly designed grind-prolonger. enl4rg3 y0ur gr1n0!

after 30 more jewelers
i should really leave it alone for now lol
