I just got a 2 GA helmet to complete a bone spirit build I’ve been working on literally all season.
Went to temper it and…

Blizzard this system is just a middle finger to the player base. There should be something in place to prevent duplicate rolls or some kind of diminishing probability. The item in question sells for roughly 500 million to a billion gold.
It’s not bricked but my God am I frustrated right now. I literally wanted any other rolls but the one i got… Six times.

Seriously nothing?
Like I don’t know a single person that thinks the current system feels good, it’s literally hated almost universally.

If they are going to insist on slot machine sysyems then they need to act like real slot machines. No one rolls the same fruit 4-6 times in a row in vegas. The city would grow broke within days.

“don’t you understand the game is supposed to be HARD, do you want blizzard to ruin this games BALANCE?”
Sorry, but I had to.
Yeah that really sucks that you rolled that man. Tempering should be changed so that kind of thing doesn’t happen and so that you can’t brick the item. Unfortunately they didn’t mention anything about this in the recent patch notes that just went out which was a massive letdown, but hopefully next campfire they say something about this and it gets fixed.

It’s not just tempering, masterworking has the same craziness going on. I rerolled the first crit on an item 5 times in a row and crit on the same affix all 5 times. That’s a 1 in 5 chance, repeated 5 times in a row. Either I need to run out and buy a lotto ticket right now or there’s a bug involved - I can’t believe this is just related to weighting.
To be super safe I now exit the game and relaunch it before each attempt, and that seems to have worked so far.

This is going to be my new tactic. Every item. Every roll.

To be fair I don’t know of any slot machines that have only 3-6 icons on their reels either. On average it’s 20 icons per reel.
A good slot machine would just roll all 5 affixes on the item when it drops.
Instead of 3 reels spinning, and then you need to talk to the manager to get the last 2 reels moving.
The thing is, there is at least a chance to redo it at a cost. Not so with tempering. That’s the whole issue.

Things seemed better earlier in the season. I’ve bricked far more items recently than i did at first and i’m even finding less ga loot from all activities. Maybe cuz i didn’t preoder the xpac

They should make tempering like enchanting, it allows you to pick between 2-3 different outcomes for each tempering attempt.

Then they would need to merge the recipes so there was 30+ different outcomes per recipe.
