Tempering and Masterworking Stat Weighting

PC General Discussion

I’ve been playing the enteral realm with my level 100 sorc. In the past 3 days I’ve gotten about 8 hours in each day totaling 24 hours play time. In that time I’ve been able to temper and brick every decent item I’ve gotten and master working I can never get it to land on the stat I want.

Tempering:

  • Most of the time when tempering I get the same exact roll 5 times in a row.
  • Statistical odds of getting the same roll 5 times in a row out of 5 options should be low. But it happens to me an awful lot.
  • Conclusion the possible roll options are weighted, blizzard please don’t weight possible rolls. Or create a system where I can just pay a crazy amount of mats and gold for me to choose what I want. 24 hours of farming and everything is bricked is not fun. No upgrades = miserable experience.

Master Working:

  • 85% of the time it defaults to main stats, example intelligence for sorc.
  • This system is also weighted toward certain affixes, its a terrible design.
  • Because the tempering is so bad I can get enough power to get my level 100 sorc to complete a level 56 pit. So I cannot farm master working materials fast enough so I can constantly reset my master working. This is frustrating and game breaking.

Blizzard please remove the weighted system for tempering and master working.
When it comes to tempering allow for 10 rolls or pay a massive amount of materials and gold for getting the option to choose exactly what you want.

Aye I was on with the clan last night, everyone was complaining about bricking everything they got due to this issue.

They are seem to be weighted with the undesirable affixes higher. Example I have rolled 10 necks/boots 4 times each and gotten regular movement speed one time. The movement after killing elite should just be removed and evade/movement speed cool down might be good for some niche build but can’t think who would want either of these.

Can you be more precise ? With what Tempering recipe ? “a awefull lot” = how many times ?

Was is 5 times the same affix, or 5 times an affix different of the one you want ? Why do you say 5 when you can actually go up to 6 times in a row ?

Patch 1.4.1 is live and I still get this issue. I’ve lost 5 two-handed scythes with several GAs trying to roll increased gollen damage, I’ve only rolled damage on skeleton mage. Not even once did I roll damage from all the summons. What are the chances of this happening? I wonder if I should go and play at the casino.

Reset my 2H Sword 4 times. Got Damage While Berserking 4/5 times until I finally got Crit Damage, yay. Then went to 8/12 and hit Damage While Berserking again. F this game.
