Harbinger Scarab of Discernment unexpected behavior

When using the Harbinger Scarab of Discernment I often only drop 1 Stack of Shards. For example killing a normal Harbinger results in one stack of 2x Chaos Shards. This should be impossible as my atlas Tree gurantees an additional Stack of shards. Meaning I should always drop at least 2 Stacks of Shards.

What seems to happen is that the game rolls how many shards of what type drop and then only keeping one shard type voiding all other drops. Is this the intended behaviour?

Also has a weird behaviour of sometimes, giving 1x shard and the rest are of the shard is some other shard.

Context: My friend dropped exactly 1x Fracturing Shard using Harbinger Scarab of Discernmentand and took a look at what else dropped. Those other shards that dropped were suppose to convert to Fracturing Shards and instead were individual stacks on another shard. One Fracturing Shard, and multiple stacks of another shard.

For the most part, it works, but sometimes it malfunctions.

its cause you guys have the harbinger nodes on the atlas allocated that gives the harbingers a chance to drop an ADDITIONAL stack of currency shards. these shards have nothing to do with the scarab you mentioned.
Harbinger Scarab of Discernment

"
Harbinger in Area drop Rarer Currency Shards
Harbinger in Area drop a single type of Currency Shard

VS

Harbingers in your Maps drop an addtional Stack of Currency Shard


So you are telling my that Atlas Passives aren't affected by Scarabs?

The problem is that BOTH of these are true statements. Scarab is working as is and also ADDTIONAL is proc'ing. The Scarab I would assume is higher priority and checking itself on all Harbinger mechanics. Otherwise, it's not "Area". Also, if it was such, results would be consistent as there would be two types of currency shard dropping everytime.
well can you provide a screenshot of a harbinger not dropping 2 different kinds of shards while you have the 100% chance for additional shards allocated? Also this would not be the case "everytime" since obviously the additional shard can also roll the same shards that were originally dropped by the harbinger.

the thread you posted just proofs my point, not sure if you are just trolling me at this point :) harbinger dropped binding shards - atlas tree gave additional stack of annulment shards, whats the problem? i asked you to show me a screenshot of a harbinger just dropping ONE type of shards while you have the 100% chance for an additional currency stack allocated.
And even if you could provide such a screenshot, it would still be possible that the additional stack just happened to roll the same currency shard as the original harbinger loot.

The title of the post, "Harbinger Scarab of Discernment not applying Single type of currency shard always". Like I've said already, your statement is true and the output of the Scarab is true. To keep asking me to prove it is moot because this is a BUG report page bro! Obviously, the single drop is working but sometimes it POOFS.

yes but there is NO BUG, bro!
anyway have a nice life!
Have a nice day sir.
