Should I feel stupid for insisting in playing Diablo 4 after so much time with this issue? Tempering is broken AF. I’ve just bricked 3rd item in a row trying to get a damn temper which should have 33% chances to appear. Considering I’ve consumed one scroll of tempering on each item in my try to get what I want and only got the exact 2 other options from the temper recipe of my interest would make not less than 30 tries for a total fail. My question remains… Do you guys sleep well at night after designing such imbecile feature? Not to mention Conduit shrines, lol.

I brick almost no items, the scroll is a good thing and in my opinion its enough. Maybe you shouldnt gamble for the highest outcome. It cant be that from 2 affixes to roll you get 0 . Never happened to me
items have that limit and i think it’s a good thing. that way an item is not endlessly flexible, you will have to find a new one.
but yea, it sucks when luck runs out sometimes. i’ve rolled same bad stat 5 times in a row also… but u know, it can happen, and it will, but only rarely. and i find this current balance on this fairly interesting. a note on this though: i have like 10 stacks of temper resets.
Run a few Infernal hordes and u will have so much scrolls that u not gona know what to do with them anymore xD (im getting 2 scrolls min at T4)
The only real endgame grind is MW / Mythics with those non-existing stars :))
Yeah, im gonna agree with the replies in this thread, bricking is pretty much a non issue at this point. Success means nothing without the chance of failure, and at this point the two are pretty much in balance. Sometimes it feels like people forget the point of this game is NOT to get perfectly rolled gear, but to get as close to it as you can. If everyone ran arround with a perfect set of BiS gear, what would even be the point of stat variables?
yea’s fun seeing how trim i can get. it’s the point, really. depends on your personal goals what is important. for me it’s the feel. i can’t get much higher than pit80. maybe like 90-100, maybe. which is cool, it’s not my build. what i want to do is apply damage elegantly in a way reminiscent of the classic rogue. small damage need to matter too, and it does, i feel, when i’m on the fields of the world. not so much pit100 where subtlety is redundant and only might matter. personal goals. anyway, yea; there’s a risk. u got this rare triple and u MIGHT wreck it… and yea, u will, if u don’t know where to go with it. u gotta decide what character it is… at least for that item… which is defining to me, or a way of cementing my style. inconvenient at times, yes, but it’s practically the only spec that sticks beyond class selection itself. and it’s lenient. think it’s 8 rerolls on a triple… first are free, so 9. and then u rewind the reroll with a temper reset. no one can fail that if ur careful, it’s a statistical anomaly! u got 17 rolls there. 10 of them on one, for the unlucky, gets u 7 for the next one. failing that is unlikely if u head straight. but if u stray, like u use some extra (which u can risk in some cases), u might end up bricked and done. that’s the price of greed and/or indecisiveness, fair and just!
