Worse than hard bricking via tempers

Hard bricking an item because your tempers failed (now with x2 the chances to hard brick that +2 or +3 affix item!)

Soft bricking by rerolling an enchant over 100 times wasting thousands of materials and hundreds of millions of gold just to have a pool of enchants that has like 50 possible outcomes.

At least hard bricking is a final immutable NO where as soft bricking gives you hope to waste infinitely more time rerolling an item to try and get the stats you want just to continuously fail and even mathematically have over 300% chance to get the affix you want.

Also dont get me started on % chances. I see we brough back 90% chance on gems that fails a statistically impossible 10+ times in a row like back in d3.

Overall though expansion is solid though, really enjoying it. These things are just incredibly stupid, stuff that everyone asks you fix or change and yet you keep it in the game and everyone hates and no one enjoys.

edit:
also soft bricking is worse because you’ve spent hundreds of millions of gold so you’re defiant about letting it fail, quitting attempting to reroll means all that resources were in fact fully wasted.

Affixes are weighted. Max life and your stat take priority.

You’re absolutely right but I guess people don’t really consider an 2/3 items perfect and go on.

They could rely categorize affixes in each line. Like for example: first line main stat, max life, armor, attack speed, damage. Next line crit dmg, crit chance, DR, vuln, OP. Third line +to skills/skill groups, lucky hit effects. Something like that.

thorns is also on the heavy weighted side - 5 out of 6 temper attempts gave thorns and there are only 3 values it could have picked. Some of this heavy weighted rolls make druids look anorexic…
