Thank you for the reply as well as updating the guide! Mostly everything is clear for me now. I just have one more area of confusion that I hope you can clear up for me.

For the gems that we are supposed to run, you have stated which gems to run in 3 sections. They are the recommended gears set up, gems set up and the aura flow chart in your FAQ. Now again, confusion lies in the fact that I'm new, which is why I'm not seeing what other experienced players are probably seeing. However, what I'm taking from having read these parts multiple times, is that lets say for Helm, you have these gems set up: Cast When Damage Taken Support, Increased Duration Support, Ancestral Warchief and Immortal Call. For boots, you have these: Vaal Lightning Trap, Herald of Ash, Leap Slam and Enduring Cry according to your recommended gems set up.

So, that leaves your gloves open for manipulation in terms of what gems you want to socket in there. According to your flow chart, it depends on if you have Xoph's Blood/Watcher's Eye or not. Ok, lets say if I had Xoph's Blood and Watcher's Eye. On your flowchart it says, if that's the case, go for Anger + Herald of Ash and TombFist. Ok, I got that. Tombfist, has a jewel socket, so one jewel goes there. From what your recommended gems set up say, Herald of Ash should be in your boots, I think, so that goes there. Anger is then socketed in your Tombfist. So, which other gems should you socket into your Tombfist, if what I have understood and said so far is true? Should you choose the gems that you have socketed in your Tombfist under the recommended gears tab, or go with the gems linked along with the Tombfist in the recommended gears tab. Which is where more confusion arises, since I thought Herald of Ash should be socketed in the boots. Or should I pick and choose from the gems in the recommended gems tab, in which case, which gems should I choose?

Lets take another situation. In your flowchart is says, if you have Xoph's Blood but don't have Watcher's Eye, go for Blasphemy, Flammability and Herald of Ash. Herald of Ash goes into the boots from my understanding, which means Blasphemy/Flammability go into the gloves. That leaves two gem sockets open, where from what I have understood, you choose the gems from the recommended tab. Which would be Summon Lightning Golem and Blood Rage. Is that correct?

I hope you get what I'm trying to convey here in my very lengthy post haha. Basically, to reiterate, having socketed Herald of Ash in my boots, that leaves my gloves open to options. Which gems should I choose from, once the gems that depend on Xoph's Blood/Watcher's Eye/Impresence/If I need mana have been chosen. Probably, from what I get from the flowchart, the only time you don't have any other choices, is if you have Impresence + Watcher's Eye or don't have Watcher's Eye and you need more mana, in which case your gem set up for your gloves would be: Anger/Blasphemy/Flammability/Enlighten 3/4 for Impresence + Watcher's Eye or Hatred/Blasphemy/Flammability/Enlighten 3/4. Is my understanding correct?

Also, what does Enlighten 3/4 mean? Does that mean Enlighten level 3? Haha, forgive me for all my questions, but you seem like a very knowledgeable/helpful person, which is why you are the best person to ask all these questions from. Thank you again!

- You will want aura gems to be linked together so that they can all benefit from Enlighten gem.

- Cast When Damage Taken must be linked to Immortal Call.

I get it now! So basically, the gems that you have pointed out as optional, can be replaced with Anger/Hatred/Enlighten depending on what amulet I'm running, as well as if I have Watcher's Eye. Also, if I'm using Enlighten, I should probably socket all the aura's in one item, so that they can all benefit from Enlighten. Oh, I do have a question here. Let's say I'm running Impresence + Watcher's Eye for example, that would mean I would go for Anger/Blasphemy/Flammability/Herald of Ash - all of these are auras. So what if I need Enlighten? Obviously I cannot socket 5 gems, so one of these auras will have to be socketed in a different item. Is that okay?

For the other items, I can mix and match however I like, as long as Immortal Call and Cast When Damage Taken Support are socketed together. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's right, right?

Anyways, I think that's my final question, hopefully. However, you've been a great help so far. I like the fact that I can talk with the guide creator, it's really helpful for a new player like me. Thanks again for responding to me!

Quick question, if were running impresence, why do we run hatred which deals cold damage? Simply because avatar of fire converts 50% of it?

Updating the guide will also help other new players with similar questions to understand better so thank you too for making the guide simpler.

And you are welcome. :)

If you have Impresence but do not have Watcher's Eye, running Hatred will give you more damage because 50% of the cold is converted to fire, which is still higher than the damage Anger provides.
