Giferis: If not for Raxx, I don't think I'd still play D4 or have any interest in PoE2 and Last Epoch. This man is internets treasure !
Ichiban_Kasuga.: It's amazing to me that all the while blasting through this game on several different characters at world record speeds this man still understands when to put out a video perfectly timed for the less avid players
mikegoldfinch: PSA for new players…. You might find that you copied a build perfectly and your not capped on resistances or armor. Most builds rely on the 5% you get per masterwork for each piece of jewelry and armor. You will have to make a decision to add additional rolls of resistance and or use elixir tech. Make sure you’re always doing legion events for potion tech you get 900 bundles herbs per legion event. And try to pay attention to guides that suggest you have a greater affix resistance.
sgt7512: Rax is legit, very helpful content. To add, this is the 1st season I am actually enjoying. Working on a 3rd level 100!
40stollar: I literally just hit 100 last night and thought....man it would be nice if Rax had a guide on what to do next.
bluejoc2057: No one deserves the success for than this guy, always top tier videos
Japhu: I swear you are ALWAYS straight to the point. No BS, really appreciate it
Tobez: This video will get me through 30 mins of work. Thank you Raxx. Also, I wish I could use GA gear as loot filter but if I don't sell every last piece of yellow and legendary gear that drops, I'd be even more broke.
Mordakar: "It's honestly a huge grind, I don't know if there's a single person in the world that has a character that's just...fully perfect everywhere."
Boy am I glad you said this. Which underscores a great deal about the discussion surrounding tempering.
I'm of the camp that you should be able to reset tempering. Like Master working, it should cost gold, and like Master working, it should be steep. No new items needed, just another thing straining your already limited resources.
No one shits themselves with rage if some dudes girlfriend plays an hour a week but somehow fell blindly into a perfect Shako. No one has anything to say about resetting master working. But when tempering, suddenly you're just a filthy casual that wants everything handed to you if you don't want to brick a otherwise ridiculously well rolled legendary.
Tempering doesn't give me a dopamine hit. It's a source of anxiety. If I don't hit what I'm looking for within two rolls, I'm almost certain the item is going to brick. It's relief I feel when I get two rolls Im looking for, not glee, to say fucking nothing about the straw man of perfect tempers.
You already went through multiple levels of RNG just to get to tempering.
Did the item drop?
Did it have good affixes?
Are those affixes greater?
Those are already some fairly steep mountains to climb. Most of the time when I see a GA, it's something obnoxious like life on hit. In fact, the only GAs I have equipped anywhere are common like main stat or health.
Enter tempering, and you have a highly sought after skill bonus on neck or gloves. NOW you have to hope to God you just get reasonable tempers, or youre losing an enormous amount of build potential.
Not everyone is playing hours a day. Before S4, a lot of people weren't even making it to 100. To top it all off, as of August, your perfectly rolled item is worthless anyway when everyone resets for the next season. There's a three month maximum shelf life on the item, unlike the oft cited D2, where your character is your character forever, and not subject to the whims of seasons or rebalancing.
In short, tempers should allow rerolls. It's a stupid and arbitrary decision to have items brick midway through the upgrade process, and if the sweatiest still don't have perfect characters, we don't have to worry about the majority of the playerbase "getting bored" because they have amazing gear. They'll get bored for a ton of other reasons instead.
tomekhome: great video Raxx, thanks for all your work !
