No supposedly on a completely different loot table than other drops. Essence should not reroll into legendary gear and green drops should not reroll into essence. I will have to find the post, but this was mentioned by a developer when the whole issue of increased drop rates and archon ring drops came up when crafting first came out.
Edit: here it is!
I can confirm that for the moment nothing can reroll into an essence, and an essence can no longer reroll into a Crate, or anything else.
As with any new system, things take time to settle. We are listening, watching, and waiting to see how the dust settles before tweaking any more for the moment. Essence drop rates are one of those concerns, but it's too early to tell and there is a lot of mixed reactions. A lot of mixed reactions probably stem from the unreasonably bountiful quantities of Essences that were dropping on launch compared to the most recent update that addressed the issue.
We're listening, but we can't justify sweeping changes to drop rates and the like without some more time to let the system settle in.
Thanks for all the feedback!
