S5 same annoyance as S4

Prolly Elden Ring. Not absolutely perfect tho, no seasons.

I think this one is only perfect for folks who like this type of game. I felt it’s okay but not my cup of tea.

Personally I find chess to be the closest one to perfection, but I know a lot of folks don’t even care about it.

Chess is the game for sure my good man.

He was talking about enchanting, but yeah he did throw in Tempering/Masterworking at the end.
Enchanting does have weighted affixes, but as far as we know they’re the same as the weighting on item drops - good or bad, it’s there (i’d rather there was no weighting on Enchanting).

Tempering at least doesn’t have weighting, but Masterworking i’m not sure if anyone has done the math enough to confirm either way, although I wouldn’t expect it to be weighted.

Sell everything that drops that doesn’t have an aspect you need.
Do Tree of Whispers stuff in Helltide, open all the chests, and turn in, you’ll get enough for a MW reset after 1 round of ToW.
Infernal Hordes will give you a TON of gold in S5.

See my first comment. We don’t know if this is changing in S5 though, if they change weighting under the covers, they’re not going to tell us that in the patch notes. They don’t share that kind of data with us.

It’s not weighted, there’s literally 0 evidence of weighting, and plenty evidence that it’s not. And don’t @me, i’ve proven this myself as have many others.

Yes, it’s possible to get even 15 of the same affix in a row without weighting.
However, you saying they haven’t done anything is absurd.

They’ve changed almost all of the tempering recipes so that the vast majority of them only have 3 options on them, and they’ve grouped together some stuff so that the options you get are less likely to be bad options compared to the one you want.

This is a MASSIVE QoL improvement.

S5 will be NOTHING like S4.

Enchanting is a hard one tho when you think about return vs outcome. I mean if your enchanting an ammy there is 30 different possibilities on the return which you only see 3 on each roll.

I know blizz spoke about enchanting in the past saying it was being “fixed”

I hope so. I’ve always hated the Enchanter in D3. Only getting 2 new options to choose from is a terrible idea, making it look like 3 doesn’t make it feel any better.

The ramping cost is also a really dumb idea.

I try to find stuff that already has the hard stats on it, so that I can just reroll Life or something, it makes it much easier to get what you want, but for an Ammy, I literally didn’t find a single one all of S4 that had even 2 of the affixes on it that I needed for my builds.

They’re practically impossible to roll now, we need a better craftin/enchanting system, and I hope we get one in VoH.

Yeah, before they fixed it you could “brick” the item. The most expensive roll I did was in HC. 250 mil on my last roll I did. Ended up with perfect trifecta res boots.

I normally stop when it gets to 3 million lol.

What are you on about? I didn’t trade at all last season and I was doing 120 pits.

Yeah I had a 25 mil rule but when you could have a perfect item its hard not to go well past the limits

Post us a video of your perfect tempered 12/12 perfect masterworked gear on each slot then, goes for everyone in this thread saying the same thing, if you can’t post said video you obviously had an issue with gold or mats. If not you would be maxed yea?/

The weighted affixes are the worst part and the main reason why gold is a problem
