Ya… i can easily do this with mediocre items. I never get attached to them. I can even do it with 2GA items. But if this is the approach we are prescribed for really good bases like 3GA, doesn’t this take the fun away?
The tempering is the reason why I am so happy they are buffing uniques and mystics. It means I deal with less tempering bs. I just have to farm good uniques with GA.
