Tempering sucks. I don’t care what anyone says. “oh, it keeps the thrill of crafting that perfect item.” NO, it does not because you constantly brick 2 GA or 3 GA items on a 1/4 chance, rolling 14 times after farming for days. It shouldn’t brick the item. I’d get it if the items weren’t account-bound; it could be used as an item sink. However, the items are FKN account-bound. It forces you to grind stale content for perfect items you will likely brick. It’s not fun.
Just make it cost more gold, ffs. This game will always be lesser than PoE. I can’t wait until PoE 2 comes out. Jeez Blizz.
