So I use Puncture, and really want the Chance to cast Punture Twice when I temper my bow.
After bricking a few I realize it consistenly gives me skills I don’t have selected, and repeatedly.
So I used my points in Puncture and put it into the other basic skills. All it cost was whatever it costs to respec tree points.
Got “Chance to Cast Punture Twice” on the next temper. 
Yeah Blizzard hates you. Use the Hate young Jedi.

I have tried things simular to what you did. It did not help. It’s just a slot machine no matter how we look at it. But glad you got what you needed.

Yeah it’s interim 925 gear…not that 3GA bow I found earlier. But I may use this tactic for that as well. This is one of those tempers I must have.
hmm, i might have to try this

I use Heartseeker. The temper is always “Puncture cast twice”

Yup and as Puncture skill selected it is mostly heartseeker…today I saw some invigorating strikes also…but generally heartseeker.
It doesn’t work like that, the system has weighted rolls. There must be some videos on youtube explaining how to abuse this mechanic and how to make your tempers hit all the time.
It’s weird because like almost everything the devs do this system which was designed to keep players playing more has now backfired because the weighted rolls can be abused so easily to get all your items tempered with what you want.
The people crying here day in day out about bricking their items, instead of typing large amount of words or come up with some convoluted ideas that no one cares about on how to fix tempering should instead spend 2 minutes searching on youtube how to not brick their items.
not to mention the time my friend use money to buy skins in the shop. we would run NMDs and i would get 1-2 legendary from the whole run, same for him, but after he bought a skin, he got a full inventory of legendary from then on out for the rest of the season 1… was shady as hell and i got Forum silenced when i posted about it.
maybe just bad RNG for me. but for a week straight it was like this

I wonder if there is a Youtube video that explains humor.
True i also think different on rng. I dont know if you ever played world of warcraft? But from sunwell plateau a legendary bow can drop. So i wanted it with my hunter. Loot is rolled when entering the raid. So i saw a druid there (which cant equip bows) so i asked him to party up. So he went in, then invited my hunter while he was already in the raid. And the bow dropped!! Same with warglaives. Many times the same one dropped that i already had (if it dropped)
Or transmog item when there was no account wide wardrobe. With my hunter i wanted shaman tier 6 recolour shoulders from black temple. Took me 17 runs before it dropped. While on warrior i looted it after. But for warrior its useless.

It’s just random.
We especially remember the times when the game just refuses to give us what we wanted, simply because the times when the game was going to give us exactly what we wanted multiple times, we stopped on the first time (since we got what we wanted).
Streaks are actually very, very common in very small sample sizes.

Yeah I used to do that when trying to roll a core skill on gloves it definitely helps

It isn’t that Blizzard hates you, it’s that they have no idea what they are doing and have learned very little from the beta to now.

OR…
HEAR ME OUT MY GUY.
The game could be designed in a way, that you could literally just log on and PLAY and do stuff without shoving a tree trunk up your backdoor and actually giving all the information to the player ingame without the need to go to some third party for explanation and way to screw with the system, because it keep kicking you in the willy
You know, it could be designed well.
But nah, let’s rather complain about the players

Lil bro your reading comprehension has a lot to be desired. I am against the way tempering is currently implemented. I’ve said this numerous times. However, I choose to live in reality and try to figure things out.
Right now this is what we have so make the best of it instead of complaining into the void. You are preaching to the choir regarding transparency. I called out the D4 devs behavior as scummy for implementing a convoluted weighted system when it was not advertised as such. In my opinion the way they described and showcased tempering is a farce. They presented only the positives of the system while keeping quiet and pretending like there are no downsides.
Yes I am blaming the people who complain for making these useless threads all day long instead of doing the absolute minimal amount of research on how to solve this ridiculous problem.
If you want to protest against the devs with facts for the scummy stuff they are doing I am next beside you, but if your plan is to shout into the void all day long, getting your feelings upset and start inane rambles about “fixing” tempering then no, you can do that yourselves.
This is called “advertising”.

You may think you are a smart person, I want to assure you, you are not.
Well academics (and life) says otherwise…but I am sure you are right.
Now go away sourpuss.
