I have been fortunate to get some gear with 3 GA for my character only for it to be ruined by bad luck tempering. Please add a tempering reset so we can reroll to fit our builds.

3 GA items should have infinite attempts at tempering
They are rare enough to be able to brick them

I agree they are very rare drops and shouldnt be bricked.

Yes, this. A friend suggested the price for re-rolling should be dependent on the number of GAs. The more GAs the more expensive. In addition, use Scattered Prisms as part of the price since they are somewhat rare.
I believe it should cost to rest and reroll. At least gives us an option instead of farming all season and never getting another or buying one for 5 bil gold from diablo trader. The boots that i have list for 9 bil on diablo trader and i cant do anything with execpt brick. I really hope we at least can get an option.

Fortunately, 3GAs are completely optional.
For a system to exist that grants players as much power as Tempering does, there has to be a great risk for it as well. Even without seasonal powers, players are more powerful now than most any season previous to this one because of Tempering.
The only way we should be allowed to reset tempers, is if they lower the rolls on all the tempers to make it not as powerful. Otherwise, we only need to find a semi-decent 2/3 item to have a really good 5/5. That’s just way too easy for something that is almost way too powerful.
I wish they would turn on 3GA with 2 random affixes added to it as drop RNG for like a week so you all could have a refresher on how much worse things could be
3GA of preffered stats with 2 RNG affixes from the drop of what you need would be like .0000001%

Almost no one would have a 5/5 by the end of that test week. Heck, not many would even see 1 in a whole season if they extended that test period. They be begging for the Tempering system to be re-implemented.

Any tempering automatically reset means we have 3 affixes instead of 5 in the game.
So reset is not the answer imho, they just should lower tempering value for builds. Or just redesign them completly.
Or slightly increase drop rates…maybe.
i honestly don’t see any need in full 3Ga gear at all. Droprates seems fine for me. The problem with tempering and all this system - when you get 3 Ga gear you automatically think that you hit a jackpot, but it’s only 3/5. Idk what they should do with it, but increasing already insanly high droprates w/o loot filter is not that good. And imho they don’t want a loot filter, literally main goal for S4 was to avoid loot filters in the game.
I definitely would not call drop rates on 3GA gear insanely high at all. I have played the crap out of my main to almost full masterwork and leveled an alt to almost 100 and gotten 2 ever…

I kinda like the prism idea. Not at the start of season, when they were rarer than a Shako. But now that they’re more accessible it would make for a good resource sink for end game where you have your sockets sorted out already and can afford to use a dozen or so prisms.
Just not 5 prisms per reset. I don’t want to end up like Stygian Stones.
Well 3Ga with perfect stats are rare, true. But i doubt that there is a possibility for increasing drop rates for 3ga and not increasing others drop rates. Maybe i’m wrong.
Idk, i just don’t think that this problem is connected with drop rates.
Its not exactly. The bigger issues as eluded to is the perception of a good piece just because you got stage 1 the 3GA gear piece. But if it was a little more common for them to drop it might not be as painful to not get it to 5/5. I quite frankly dont understand with the current drop rates on 3GA, ESPECIALLY to get one with desired stats… how people are “bricking” multiple pieces in a row on tempering.

maybe they just should return 5 affixes and remove tempering, this is probably the easiest solution.
But that was terrible… Thats my point. People seem to forget that 4 random affixes from the full affix pool resulted in mountains and mountains of useless gear. Tempering only exists because of how horrifical loud people were screaming about bad itemization, bloated affixes, useless stats. So they give them 3/5 with a chance to temper on 2 more at a MUCH better rate than the original RNG and they are still mad. The old system of full RNG on 4/4 drops was way way worse. Reverting to the old method is getting drops of what people now consider “bricked items” straight out of the packaging.

They could increase the frequency of 3GA’s. I’ve played quite a bit, and only seen a small handful. Of that, only 2 pieces would even pass as usable. Though none are being used as they don’t fit my builds.
I would also like to see a way for them to make rares mean something again… And drop blues and whites from WT4 entirely.
