[Resolved] Eldritch chaos orb doesn't reroll existing prefixes, just deletes them

UPDATE: From responses below, as of patch 3.17.2 eldritch chaos orbs no longer preserve the number of prefixes/suffixes.

I used 5 different eldritch chaos orbs on the following pair of boots:

- Implicits
- (greater searching exarch mod) 6% movement speed
- (lesser eater of worlds mod) 16% cooldown recovery rate of travel skills
- Suffixes
- 22% suppress spell damage
- 38% lightning resistance
- (crafted) 25% chance to avoid elemental ailments
- Prefixes
- (fractured) 30% movement speed
- 2 random prefixes I wanted to reroll

Each eldritch chaos orb resulted in all non-fractured prefixes being removed. No rerolled prefixes took their place. After each use of the eldritch chaos orb, 3 suffixes and 1 fractured prefix remained.

However, my understanding of the eldritch chaos orb is that when the the searching exarch implicit dominates, the 2 non-fractured prefixes should have been rerolled. Not deleted as if I used 2 eldritch annulment orbs.

Am I missing something?

not a bug

rares are weighted towards 4 affixes, so rerolling with an eldritch chaos does not guarantee additional mods
