Horadric Malus (reset temper durability) šŸ”Ø

We seriously don’t need this. I’ve bricked two 3GA items and ā€˜succeeded’ on three 3GA items. Succeeded meaning I got the roll I wanted. Not a perfect roll, but the one I needed. I think people’s problems is they get a less than max roll and reroll it expecting to hit the roll they want again with a higher roll.

Treat tempering rolls as just another roll on the gear and not something you need to fix to be perfect and you’ll experience a lot less frustration. Once you already have your BiS gear and find another one then you can be more aggressive with pushing for max rolls.

I myself am a fan of selecting the exact affix you want and only roll the %strength of it. it makes more sense

Yeah, the Horadric Malus adds a way to restore tempering durability, and hard to find. It also adds The Smith from D2, which would be a cool Butcher variant. And finally adds reason to explore Cellars. What’s not to like?

everything
I was under the impression it was rng
and if you have a 100% chance to get your gg item as opposed to a pseudo 100% chance haven’t you got all the best items straight off the bat and nothing needs to be done and season finished even quicker

sounds like another unfun thing to grind for…how about you just allow people to customize without penalties other than the already excessively high material costs

Restoring temper durability should be a grind, otherwise its just another bland mechanic.

I think the solution to tempering is going to be complex because there are some folks who enjoyed the grind while others enjoy gambling and others who don’t enjoy either.

Personally, I don’t mind grinding up a new item. I think the time spent farming dungeons and pits is kind of fun, but I will not travel around the world looking for sellers and other things to get a special reset item. I’ll just find another piece of gear so the reset item would work for me, but it wouldn’t really change my game.

What I am no fan of is that they are forcing us to gamble with unevenly weighted stats, and I don’t appreciate that. I feel like it’s somewhat dishonest and scammy. I think giving me the option to temper in a way that I have better control over the outcome of my item would be preferable. I just don’t have a good suggestion on how to achieve that goal.

Another useful change would be choice like occulist to keep a temper or not so you have a chance to improve those lowrolls without :brick:

I hit anything I am going for I keep it even if 5/5 because the moment you reroll trying to improve lowrolls you just know you are going to :brick: it after the first miss.

the devs need to do something. my rogues on both weapon rolls have 3 out of 4 = bricked item. bricked a 2billion gold item today and not going to lie… not having a way to farm to try again is making me want to rage out. This is coming from a die hard diablo fan

I like the idea of using a spark or say 2k masterwork mats

Not sure why everyone is taking a giant crap on this post. I kinda like the idea. It’s creative and brings some nostalgia to the game.

The one glaring issue is that people will complain it’s too rare so they eventually buff it until it’s meaningless to temper at all. If it fails, they’ll just have 50 more they got within a week because of the buff it received.

A good idea for sure but I don’t think there’s a good solution besides just leaving it be.

A good solution = Tempering 2.0 šŸ”Ø

No more :brick: items. You always get something useful. Maybe you prefer something different but you will not brick your wands with ice shards if you are frozen orb with my new expanded manual system. Still has a range so getting BiS rolls will still be very hard. Integrity of system preserved.

:pray: is gud?
