Although there isn't alot of empirical evidence at this point, I am guessing really low drop rate. Someone in another thread mentioned killing Malthael over 40 times and he didn't drop the component yet. I have only heard of 1 person getting Malthael's component in an active guild of 150 people, all killing Matael at level 70.
I found 4 adventurer's journals and 1 griswald scribbling since loot 2.0 went live and I searched every body and bookcase in those 3 or so weeks. I have a feeling that is a drop rate is between 0.5%-1%. And we don't know how difficulty level impacts drop rate.
Assuming the drop probability is the same off of mobs as it is from environment drops, I am guessing you are going to need 300+ Malthael kills without a single Angelic shard to consider yourself unlucky.

Alright! Thanks alot for that, guess the farm goes on!
Yeah some of these materials will take a while for us to understand the drop rates.
I also found some of the mats from 2 different mobs within the same game. One of them was theSymbol of the Guardian Brotherhood.I found 2 of those from 2 different rare mobs in one of the act 3 places in the same clear.
What difficulty, and where in Act V (best waypoint) did you locate them?
Bosses are bugged, you can get those crafting mats only on the first kill. Was getting mad with Malthael forReapers Fear.
This is not true, at least not for Izual. Whenever I need a shard I farm run him on T1-2. I've gotten four off him in maybe ~12-15 runs so it's probably drops at a similar rate to keys.
Me and my friends have been farming Izual for Angelic Shards. We have been doing him on torment 2 mostly (recently started doing torment 3). I would say he has a drop rate of about 10% there as me and 3 friends each got about 3 over 2 hours of farming. You might just need to bump the difficulty up.

I need 2 of the Angelic Shards to craft my Hallowed weapons.
Ive read up that it drops of Izual in Act 4 so have been farming him today.
Just killed him for the 35th time now without a drop.
Am i really unlucky or is the droprate really low?
