So i am a new player to d4 and been struggling to understand all the gearing (stats on what pieces etc.) I finally found a good weapon I have been after and decided to Temp it. I got 4 rolls the same and then 1 I also did not need… Bricked… same for my gloves. as a new player this is very demoralizing. its hard enough that i farm the materials, I would love to see temp limit removed even at the cost of harder to farm materials… having this happen just i’snt fun.

My tempering slot machine is finding it really difficult to pay out on critical strike damage on rings. When I started counting it was 18 unwanted tempers before it hit critical damage. Figured why not just start tempering any ring I find to see if there’s something of a pattern.
You can play for 5 minutes and get a dozen good weapon options. They’re by far the most common item in game and almost always drop with the stats you’d want, and if not you just need to enchant 1 of them.
Burning through them til you get a good roll doesn’t take much.
On an amulet, i can get behind your point. They’re virtually impossible to find with the stats you’ll want, but weapons? No. Just play the game for 5 minutes and try again.

Why? Why should it be even more of a hamster wheel then it already is? A rigged slot machine, A dirty poker dealer, A shady cars salesman.
All i can say is good luck.

So tell me, if you get your tempered items removed (or) rather you can temper as much/many times as you want…
what would be your point in playing diablo 4?
Part of the reason to play (if not the Major reason) is to find gear, temper it (in this case) as best as you can and then Try to beat the content.
Having your gear perfect defeats your purpose.
Having your gear perfect to beat bosses to get… … More gear (that you won’t use cause your current gear is Perfect) - Is Pointless.
Play the game dude… Grind the game… Treasure Hunt better pieces and Temper it the best you can.
A good challenge for YOU is to beat the Diablo 4 content with pseudo good gear, if you can do that Good job, if you can’t continue to find better gear and try again.

Tempering is just a single layer of diablo 4 itemization. Even if they removed the limit (not advocating for it, but for argument’s sake), there are still many item chases.
For example, I don’t know anyone that has found 3GA for all of their slots on their own with ideal stats without trading. That chase alone is already time consuming enough. There is also a chase for uniques with GA, mystic uniques with GA and triple MW crits on the ideal stat. There are plenty of things chase after even if tempering never existed.

IMO, tempering has ruined the game. The RNG is what an item drops with, not a ticket to a casino. Tempering is straight up trash due to the ridiculous unfair ‘cheating’. And miss me with the ‘RNG’ crap.
14 rolls in a row when there are 4 choices each time? Many times the same % on that roll too? GTFO with rng nonsense.
Tempering is likely the worst of all the bad ideas Blizzard has made for the game since loot reborn. It’s shocking that they somehow think this was a good idea. It speaks to a real disconnect with reality and the game itself.

As a new player, you might want to try out the newly reworked Uniques. They might not be the best in slot for tougher content, but they should provide enough power to help you clear most of the game. Personally, I usually won’t temper gear until I have at least three of the same pieces.
You have a VERY broad definition of what “perfect” is if you think having a better tempering system means perfect gear.

I don’t see why you can’t just pull one stat from an item breaking it and put it on another.
Or make crafting like Vagrant Story.
Why does everything have to be a slot machine?

It happens. Only demoralizing if you believe you have a 5/5 on drop instead of what it actually is 3/5.

I couldn’t have said it better myself. I don’t know why I don’t see people saying enchanting should have reroll limit. If enchanting hasn’t broken the game, neither will tempering if it has no hard limits.

Weapons are easy to find… be glad it wasn’t an amulet… they’re hard to find with the stats I need and I keep bricking them… I gave up at this point
The fools can white knight all they want but the masses have spoken, this system sucks donkey D and needs revised, badly.

The weapon was not good to begin with.
That said, remove tempering. The affixes should be rolled when the item drops.

They will figure this system out I’m sure
I just got a perfect roll of what I needed (3 rolls total). Was happy, went to add gems. game crashed and reset back to before I rolled. Rerolled and didn’t get what I needed once…
