Massive Power Boost On Any Class In Diablo 4

Just a thought, since this video is targeted at casuals and could likely be a long term resource for new players, maybe include something in the video title like "How to Temper Gear" so that this video is more likely to pop up for new players who search "diablo 4 how to temper", or "d4 tempering explained". I could see new players assuming that an 11 minute video talking about a "Massive Power Boost" might be too far above their pay grade.

Another tip: Gold and crafting materials are extremely valuable throughout the entirety of the game, so in an effort to minimize the expense of these resources, it is best to follow an order of operations when crafting. ALWAYS temper first because tempering is the only step in the crafting process that can "brick" your item (aka, make your item too weak to bother using, and in a way that cannot EVER be undone on that particular item, at least currently as of the start of Season 5). So, if BlizzardRNG™ screws you and you fail to get the targeted temper(s) on your item within the allowed amount of temper rerolls, the item is automatically irredeemable junk (assuming you have more gear to repeat the tempering process to try and get the targeted tempers). You don't want to waste gold and rare crafting materials on the other crafting steps if you fail to get the targeted tempers, so get the tempering out of the way first. Technically, the rest of the crafting steps (enchanting, imprinting, and masterworking) can be done in any order, but I would recommend doing enchanting, then imprinting, and then masterworking. While you can technically enchant an item (aka reroll a single affix) an infinite amount of times, the gold cost scales IMMENSELY to the point where continuing to reroll for a desired affix may just not be feasible, effectively "soft-bricking" your item. Imprinting (applying a Legendary Aspect) is simple and could be done at any time, but there is no point in wasting the crafting materials imprinting before tempering or enchanting if those steps could hard or soft brick the item. Naturally, masterworking fits in as the final step considering, 1) the materials for masterworking can only be acquired in the endgame Pit, and 2) this step could require several masterworking resets in order to optimize the "critical" single affix buffs at Masterworking 4, 8, and 12. TLDR; As a rule of thumb when crafting gear, ALWAYS temper first, then enchant (if necessary), then imprint, then masterwork.

thank u so much. as a casual i absolutely had no idea how that worked. Thx!

Tempering has helped boost my Cataclysm dmg by over 200% and core dmg to distant well over 100%. The level 2 capstone boss got deleted in seconds when lvl 36. I think Storm Druid is being slept on.

That's crazy that some people are saying they didn't get them. me and all my friends that played last season definitely has theirs.

I feel like the lucky hit chance at big Ele damage is nice as heck. Can really feel when it goes off if you're using a decent lucky hit skill.

They may have changed it, but in S4, all of the surges would proc at the same time. 4 weapons, 6-7k times 4, was hitting in the 20k's consistently at level 10. That sicknasty Lunging Strike leveling build. Only costs 7 points.

This helps so much! I was so confused as to why I was not killing no where near as fast as other people even though I had the same stats sometimes even better stats, the same build with the same aspects and all of the passives and paragon glyphs. Thank you so much man! God bless!

First time trying Sorc in D4, went with Chain Lighting and was following the leveling guide from Maxroll. Didn't know what tempering to put, so I logged out of the game thinking I will look online. Minutes later, Raxx puts out this useful video. So, I log back in and I do what he said, then went into a Nightmare Dungeon (already got to T3 without the tempering, very slow) and I was flying. Thank you Raxx.

Thanks Raxx. Learned these from you last season and have been taking advantage of tempering ever since, but it’s great to hear the whole thing again! Great video!

Great video, much value, thank you!

Awesome video guide as usual Raxx

Thanks, Raxx. I followed your last Tempering video and it was hugely beneficial.

Bro really named his rogue BowJob 😂😂😂 Never change Raxx

Wow, saved me a ton of time. Didn't realise it was so OP early game. Thank you.

I had all of the tempering in season 4 and didn’t have any this season

It did make sense, I'll try it when I get home from work and let you know 🤠. Thank you.

Nice guide ty

You can and should temper even rares as soon as you get them - even basic damage to all/close/distant is a HUGE dps boost! Me, I also got very lucky at 20-something and had an Axial Conduit drop from a trash mob. 😁

This vid is why your career is taking off man!! Straight to the point no BS, like teaching a class. Tks
