I noticed no one talked about legendary gem. Which one is the best? Or all of them are jokes?

go try it , experience it

Different class uses different leg gems. For DH and WD, definitely Enforcer.

Not really. I dont play sentries, cos I know its gonna get nerf later.

Universal gems for ranged class are

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/item/bane-of-the-trapped ->simple like cull of the weak

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/item/zeis-stone-of-vengeance ->also simple like Take Aim

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/item/gem-of-efficacious-toxin ->good sustain dps (doesnt help with clear speed though), flat 10% dps increase like a mini marked for death


My strafe build currently using Taeguk, Bane of the trapped and wreath of lightning.

Dont be fooled by the lightning and holy proc gems (or any other proc gems for that matter)
You can utilize them, they are powerful. If you can proc them, you can use them.
You dont have to have that specific +elemental damage to utilize them.If you can, its even better but they are great even on its own.

After sacrificing my CHD on my amulet for wreath of lightning, my clear speed greatly improved, and Im a cold strafe.

At first was skeptical, but now found out definitely worth it.
In a perfect world, everyone wants CHC + CHD + Elemental dmg/Main stats +socket on their amulet, but we get by with what we get.

i click but cant see the L gem...guess thier server and website is down

Monk would be either Mirinae, Gogok, Taegok

if u are very poor Boon of the Hoarder is ur best friend

yea those 3 is like the staple gem for monks

barb on other hand I don't have a fix idea

Can followers use the gem?

LGems only work when equipped on players. Do not function when equipped on followers. - See more at: http://www.diablowiki.net/Legendary_Gems#s...h.3Pus4a3N.dpuf

crusader favourite choice: gogok, trap, power

My Wizard = Gogok, simplicity strength and bane of the trapped

Someone was complaining how underpowered other gems are mathematically speaking.
Among his highlights also are how powerful the poison gem and the bleed gem are, and bane of the powerful being weak.

I always know that bane of the powerful is not that great, but I could be wrong if the bonus is another modifier instead of being lumped together with +dmg to elite on normal gears.
For example, if you have 30% soj + 15% from gem, the calculation could be 1 x 1.3 x 1.15 =1.495 instead of flat 45% damage increase to elite.

Im pretty sure the bane of the trapped is separate modifier than cull the weak, so its multiplicative.

My take on the gems are get two damage modifier gems and one elemental gem even if you dont have specific +elemental damage (such as fire or cold)
At least thats how I think the devs designed the gem designation (fire and cold gem might be in the making still)
Elemental gems are:

Bleed, poison, lightning, holy

Poison is especially powerful due to it also have innate damage multiplier, but it is offset by how the damage is over time in nature.
Bleed is somewhat the same, but it is limited to break points and more situational.


Im gonna level up my poison gem and replace my bane of the trapped and see how it goes with 2 elemental gem + 1 modifier gem (im using taeguk, trapped and lightning currently).

For wiz, wat gem?

the dont die easily gem

I'm using this when doing normal rifts on T3 LOL!

Guys, how do you feel fail 3 times upgrading the gems at 90% ?

LOL I will go buy a toto. because the probability is 0.1x0.1x0.1=0.001 . man u hit the first price of today toto4d

Take comfort in the fact that it's only 10 mins of your life wasted! Still got many many more minutes to burn ahead
