Tempering can be so frustrating

This happened to me (and certainly not for the first time).

I’m building a Penetrating Shot build for my level 43 rogue, and I wanted to temper my 2H and two 1H weapons with “Chance for Penetrating Shot Projectiles to cast twice.” The result?

None of the three weapons ended with what I wanted. NONE. The temper I was looking for NEVER even appeared once. So my 2H now has a temper for Twisting Blades, my 1H’s have a temper for Barrage, neither skill of which is in my build.

This tempering system is the only feature that has vexed me immensely in Season 4.

It’s really no different than if the item dropped with those affixes. The only difference is that, in order to reveal the extra affixes, you need to take another step. Anyway, I still think they could do better by the players with Tempering in particular, but the +1 per GA will go a long way in S5 - just not quite all the way.
