I’m wagering 50m gold (I’ll take 6 bets bc I have 300m) that tempering is adjusted in a way that will help the temper bricking/non-randomness situation. Small or large improvement to tempering and I would win. This is based on patch notes tomorrow. Examples are but not limited to, new mechanic to reset tempers, adjustments to temper weighting or options, increase in temper limits, keep prior roll, etc.
I think a 1-1 bet is appropriate so no odds applied.
Any takers?
If in game currency bets are not allowed on forums, I apologize and I’ll delete the post.
For the record I’m incredibly surprised they are releasing a patch so soon and decided to release it a week early.
Edit: Bet with Urza for the full 300m. Will update tomorrow, hopefully notes are released at a reasonable time!
Fixed or slightly improved?
Either fixed or improved and I win.
What if it improves the odds to brick?

I’m not a betting man but I do not think it will be fixed. rerolling to get the same unwanted temper but with +/- is going to stay RNG. unless they let us actually craft exactly what we want, there is no fix…or something.
Then I would lose the bet.
More than likely it will be improved on. I don’t think they will simply make it that easy to reroll.
My take would be they leave as is with the limited tries, but they will let us select the tempering we want but the % range will be RNG still.
Or
They let us have the option to keep the previous temper instead of the new re rolled one.

They will not change tempering much, if at all. The most I can see them doing is adjusting the weighting of stats or trimming down the number of possible stats we can roll with each manual. The ones with 5 possible rolls are brutal.
I have bricked so many weapons trying to gear for flay barb…

I hope they will apply some QoL to tempering as it current state , i don’t enjoy it . But don’t hold your breath to it they never mentioned nothing about tempering changes… only class balance
Patch notes tomorrow will include everything but Pit leaderboards and changes to Tempering. 
They are 100% certain to alleviate the pain of Tempering in the patch.
I stopped trying to upgrade GA items as soon as they said the midseason patch was coming. Now im just stacking them up
I’m not 100% certain your 100% certain is in fact 100% certain. If this is your first Blizzard game I can understand the optimism, I’m just saying for those of us who have been with the company over the years, we tend to expect less and less so we’re not disappointed when a patch comes out.

I’m surprised no one has taken the bet. I’m willing to bet lower than 50m, but thought people would put money where their mouth is.
I guess all the bricking lovers truly think Blizz is going to address it?
If they do give you more rolls you can be sure it will come with a cost. It seems the devs insist on piling on the “medicine” any time they give a little “sugar”.

In D3 you enchanted an affix on a Primal it was still a Primal affix so they have to change enchanting GA’s so they stay GA. If I see another 60% of Lightning Resistance as a GA…sigh.
That would make it much easier to gear, which I’m ok with. Still incredibly rare to find a 3GA. I’d be happy if enchanting a GA would remain GA. Kind of off topic though!
I expect to see further nerfs to Whirlwind Base Damage. I’m still able to kill some things above level 100 without using Dust Devils and that’s a big no no to Blizzard.
