Hey, i will put this simple. For 4 months i am gambling kadala only amulets. Spent 275k+ shards. Here are the results :
countess julia cameo: 20+ drops, 1 godlike drop with 10cc + str + socket + (enchanted to 98cd)
mara's kaleidoscope: 10+ drops, 2 fine drops with cc + str + elemental dmg + (enchanted to cd)
xephirian amulet: 1 drop only, trash...
the star of azkaranth: no drops
talisman of anaroch: 10+ drops, trash all
gambled them with barb mostly (i will frankly say 90%) others with crusader.
ofc other amulets dropped with almost perfect stats but as a barbarian they are useless.
So.... you're either really really lucky (41+ immunity amulets instead of an expected ~13) or "a big phat phony" to use Imgur speech ;-)
Well i can call myself unlucky with all my heart. Except countess julia's cameo all my other elemental immune amulets borrowed from my friends. They were mostly played with dh's (it seems this class is lucky with mara and azkaranth mostly) and wd's (it seems this class is lucky with xephirian).
So am i going to give up? No. I am just obsessed with amulets.
I don't get entirely what you're saying... but there's a lot of selective bias going on. First, please don't say things like "class X is lucky with item Y" because there isn't such a thing, that a particular immunity amulet drops more often or with better stats for a specific class. It's all anecdotal stories at best. Loot is random, sorry.
Second, you can call yourself unlucky but honestly... I know people with paragon 600 that don't have a single Xephirian. And with 10+ Mara's and Talismans and even 20+ Arcane amulets you are definitely not unlucky, no matter if you see yourself unlucky. You chose to gamble the worst of all slots, and while 275k shards allow for some great expectations if spent on other slots, jewelry and weapons mean nothing even if you spend half a million shards. Those slots are just really really bad in terms of "bang for your buck", i.e., the rewards you get for gambling on those slots.
Note: I've gambled close to 200k shards on 1h weapons because despite 700+ paragon levels I have yet to see a Wand of Woh. But absolutely never I would call myself unlucky with regard to gambling weapons. I know that gambling weapons (as well as jewelry) is nothing but an absolutely stupid waste of shards. You just seem to misunderstand gambling and mathematics.
It's kind of like someone playing the lottery for 10 years, which might result in investing about 10k dollars in it, and then calling him/herself "unlucky" because he/she hasn't won a million yet. Yeah... right.

This is my experience and ofc you are right about it. Sorry for misunderstood.

I chose to gamble amulets cuz i have got all barb sets and other items with very good rolls so no need to gamble them. What i am calling myself unlucky is that a barbarian must have xephirian and azkaranth amulets for grfits as you well know. I have recieved them from my friends actually. As i said before with or without kadala there is no azkaranth drop with total 3 xephirian drops.
There is a furnace issue too. Got my first at paragon 650+ and now i am 780 with total 7 furnace drops. I didnt get what a want from the furnace from all of those. All dropped low average dmg with no cooldown or no +%dmg on them.
I know that gambling weapons (as well as jewelry) is nothing but an absolutely stupid waste of shards.
This. It would be really nice if they just lowered the cost of gambling jewelery and weapons. Or at least increase the BS cap, because rolling for 4 amulets is just stupidly unfun.
having only 6 shots at a 2 hander each time makes gambling suck big time. If they will not lower cost then at least meet us half way and lift the cap to how many shards you can carry, especially now there Blood Goblins, it is pure stupid to have to go back 2 or 3 times to get the shards they drop (big waste of iffing time). Otherwise why even have gambling in the game at all, with the wide range of stats and the drop chance, it is not like some one will abuse it......even tho they will try.

Finally i can call myself unlucky again
I've gotten two Furnaces in 780 Paragon levels. None had vitality nor native damage%. The only one with CDR rolled ~3500 damage with 10% damage factored in.
countess julia cameo: 20+ drops, 1 godlike drop with 10cc + str + socket + (enchanted to 98cd)
mara's kaleidoscope: 10+ drops, 2 fine drops with cc + str + elemental dmg + (enchanted to cd)

talisman of anaroch: 10+ drops, trash all

In any case, no one should read too much into this...

E.G.
Stock up 5 bajillion bs, roll for ancient legendaries on patch day
I think they could raise it a lot and still not really hurt patch day, though
You are not unlucky.
