General Gem Discussion

I'd like to see a dodge gem, not like evasion but a gem that when the skill is used makes you dodge in a specific direction.

There's been a number of occasions where I would have liked to have rolled out of the way of a charging mob, then strike at them while they recover.

I'm guessing that such a skill might not be made due to the animation requirements. But as a stop gap you could use a similar mechanic to flicker strike. Just without needing a specific target.

Whirling blades are just that, a fast evasion move not requiring a target, great for dodging slow but damaging blows of brutus or vaal oversoul.

I was just about to agree with you before I remembered why I'd not moved my Whirling blades gem across. It only works with claws, daggers and swords. I've currently got a mace with my Marauder, which is kinda what prompted me to wish for a defensive gem/skill.

Maybe I'll drop the mace and go with a weapon that works with it. Back to the drawing board for me!

I'd guess it's intentional since your aura gems won't gain any EXP like that. If you just want to free action bar slots use weapon switching.

Ok, but once I level them up, I can use them freely and un-equip them right after... I would say that this gives me additional advantage and it surely is not exping penalty.
Im talking about "end-game" here.

Still, its a little weird...

I was wondering if it was ever going to be possible to use elemental hit with wands? It'd be a fun character to make! :)

So i didn't know where to post that, nothing to terrible still it's just about the town portal gem. I didn't read the all thread so maybe it's an already known issue.

If you use the mouse 1 shortcut usually with other skill you have to press shift to use it ( for obvious reasons you don't want to loose your ability to move right ? ), well with the town portal gem you can't move anymore.

I know it's not a big deal but i didn't find any bugs yet, i was feeling bad to enjoy the game so much and not "beta testing" it for real. :D

I would like to suggest a new type of skill gem.

namely- dark skills

and what's that supposed to be? O_o
If you really want to make a suggestion you should elaborate a bit more ;)

I wish there would be more types of skill gems.. :)

Any idea if GGG will make more?
