Itemization in Diablo 4 is a source of controversy among players, leading to calls for Blizzard to revise the reroll system. Rerolling item stats is a crucial element in maximizing a player's build, particularly in the endgame. However, the current system is not meeting players' expectations.
In Diablo 4, creating a powerful character build relies on synergizing skills and items. Unfortunately, sometimes players do not find items with the desired affixes or stats. This is where the Enchanting feature becomes important, allowing players to fine-tune their rare items. The feature was first introduced in Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls and is now being reintroduced in Diablo 4, albeit in a slightly different and less effective form.
Satokibi on the Diablo 4 subreddit recently pointed out a flaw in the game's reroll system. Unlike Diablo 3, Diablo 4's reroll system fails to provide players with sufficient information on the possible affixes they may receive when rerolling. Instead, it only displays a selection of available options for players to choose from. This lack of information leaves Diablo 4 players in the dark, unsure of what to expect when Enchanting an item. With numerous affixes available, players could spend a significant amount of time trying to roll for their desired affix, only to remain uncertain if it holds any value or falls within an acceptable range. The issue is exacerbated by the high cost of Enchanting in Diablo 4, as players may lose substantial amounts of gold during their visits to the Occultist.

With Diablo 4 gearing up for its first seasonal update in July, it is unlikely that Blizzard will make any changes to the reroll system. However, Blizzard has consistently demonstrated its commitment to improving the game's quality of life through prompt patches, so there is hope that adjustments to the reroll system could be implemented in the future. Diablo 4 can currently be enjoyed on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
