In my opinion the masterworking process does not feel fun or rewarding. I dont know what the solution is but it just feels bad having to grind pit runs only to boost an affix that isnt optimal. Since youre not allowed to masterwork a piece of gear until its fully tempered (five total affixes) you have a %20 (1/5) chance of hitting your ideal boosted affix increase at levels 4,8,12. So lets say I wanna boost +3 Ranks to Forzen Orb I have only a %20 percent chance to hit it at level 4, again at 8, and then at 12. (.20)x(.20)x(.20)= .008. I have less than a one percent change of getting my ideal affix boosted all three times. All that time and effort I put in and I have less than a one percent chance of getting my optimal affixes boosted?!? For just one piece of gear?? Then if I want to repeat the process I lose all of those masterworking materials and have to grind pits again?? That whole process doesnt feel fun or rewarding. It makes me feel like I wasted my time.
-Also I get DC’d everytime I teleport back to town after complete a pit. Which makes grinding pits and the masterworking process that much less enjoyable.
