I posted this in the 1.55 update thread but putting it here too:
I had a chat with Pavke and this is the conclusion (and yes the numbers are taken from the game files):
Statues drop at roughly the same rate as essences (1:12 chance at p1 for any statue to drop from a TZ act boss).
Statue drop distrubution is as follows:
Talic's Anguish
Korlic's Pain
Madawc's Ire
Bul-Kathos' Nightmare
Worusk's End
Total
Andariel

The table is meant to be read left-to-right, showing the distribution of statue drops per act boss.
tl;dr
Worusk's End is the rarest because Baal is the hardest/longest to reach & kill, plus there's only 2 act bosses that can drop it at all (that's also true for Andariel, but she's much faster to get to and kill)
There's a drop overlap - all act bosses drop mostly "their own" statue, but have a small chance of dropping one of the "adjacent" statues (in statue/act order).
I was told that the distribrution is like 1-18-1.
So for Mephisto for example, out of 20 statues,
- 1 will be Korlic's Pain (Act 2 statue),
- 18 will be Madawc's Ire (Act 3 statue),
- 1 will be Bul-Kathos' Nightmare (Act 4 statue)

dropping statue from Duriel will be really obnoxious.. since you dont know which tomb is the correct one and you only have half an hour.
It would be nice if the drop chance of this one particular statue would be increased. I dont mind the others, you know where they are.
OR you can farm The Summoner and get the answer to which tomb is correct by missing Pattern, in addition you get chance for Key there. Slightly better odds i guess.
