Much as I continue to dislike the entire Herald design and implementation, just to throw something related and positive in here for a change:
The more I (am forced to..) run through shard games, the more it feels like they pretty much nailed the shard drop rates.
Yes, but they have to fix the uneven drop rates. Since the release of the DLC I have found only one(!) Northern Worldstone Shard...
If there was more of a crafting need for them, I'd agree. But considering the current reality of "little to no sunders anyways", I'm happy getting more shards for the coincidentally far better acts and far fewer for the extra short act 4 and better than 4 but still worse than 1/2 acts 5 and 3.

But what if I find two Latent Black Cleft in a row?

After a 20 year break from D2 I started playing D2R in 2024 with my sons (9 and 10 years old)

Then you don't need to worry about shards anymore because we'll burn you at the stake for clearly being a witch.
