Sanctified Fossil Crafting Worth it?

Not a single Sanctified Fossil Sanctified Fossil has yielded anything remotely decent for me. In fact, the items I’ve rolled with Sanctified Fossils come out so incredibly terrible that it kind of seems broken. Like maybe they accidentally made them do the opposite of what they are supposed to do? I have tried to roll a minion weapon with a 4 socket resonator sanctified, bound, jagged, and shudder I have tried to do so about 20 times if not more, and every single one has come out with none of the possible fossil mods in fact completely different mods than what is expected with that combination, and absolutely horrible rolls numerically. It’s almost like its bugged. Maybe it’s just simply a bad run of RNG but In delve league every single time I used the same combination with a sanctified fossil I got awesome results, including most of the fossil mods implied and very decent if not excellent numeric rolls, and in delve I would find sanctified fossils way more often. Kinda sad really, delving was a great addition to crafting, but still glad they added it to the core game, even if its kind of nerfed.
