Jewel Changes FAQ

Calling replica conquerors efficiency niche is a joke and removing it is a dickhead move. these jewel changes suck horrendously they are not improvements. they are downright nerfs.

Pls, GGG, all i ask is to keep wardloop alive, pls. Why you can,t add SurvivalSecrets to corrupted gems pool? Also you said you remove only bad jewels, but you also remove replica CE, which is a great jewel. I even can say that this is "chase" unique jewel. I think jewels weren't a problem in the game, and i just will wait other news.

Always a bit disappointing to lose uniques but I expect this will open up some room for the future.

Moving niche build enablers into more deterministic locations is something I'd like to see going forward, vendor recipes and other "secret" behaviors are an important part of the soul of the game for me.

Still don't understand, will we be able to roll "% reduced effect of elemental ailments", "% reduced duration of elemental ailments" on normal jewels and "% chance to avoid elemental ailments" on abyss jewels or did you split it up, in the sense that we got 3 different types of modifiers according to ailment type (cold, fire, lightning)? For me this is not clear at all.

In the current state of the game, I believe that we really need the first type. Otherwise the mods are pretty pointless, I cannot immagine anybody using a jewel like "30% reduced duration of ignite" (you would need 3 such jewels to just reduce ignite). But on the other hand, if you put all the mods together, it seems also quite boring. Why not adding mods that give us 100% reductions?

But yes, played your delve event and died about 100 times with 78% resistances, 50% attack block, 4k life 300 energy shield on depth 80, mainly due to chaos damage (I do have 20% chaos res, but its useless, chaosweaver one shots me, probably a crit, but yep), but also due to ground degens all over the place. We seriously need some kind of help with those ground degens. Currently we can ignore fire degen with the pantheon, but all the other degens are only available as conqueror mods, and currently crafting those is so expensive. But degens are all over the place, even in white maps.

You realize Survival Secrets is pretty much necessary for wardloop to function, right? That's the definition of build-enabling. That build can't give up a slot to "another unique item" either, it has to be a jewel.

Who cares about wardloop, the build should be gone, sooner or later.

Conqueror's Efficiency: its mana reservation stat has been moved to the regular Jewel mod pool.

I already love those changes.

Sadge wanted to try out the wardloop build this league, i hope something else strikes my fancy.

what about the survival instinct witch is for one the best even during the campain ?

Seems like the mitigation changes are a bit of a nothing burger, it's a little odd they packaged it this way. Mana reservation on rare jewels depending on the values could be a pretty real buff. Honestly I agree that unique jewels as a whole are pretty underwhelming the vast majority are garbage. I am excited to see what the unique jewel pool will look like. If last patch unique buffs are a reasonable indicator there should be some pretty cool new jewels to look forward to.

Its interesting the reactions, seems like the community has a bit of ptsd after last season. Rightfully so, hopefully GGG considers having integrity this coming season and include the most meaningful changes in the patch notes.

Why ? Are you a GGG employee in disguise who secretly hate having fun ?

This is why melee is in this state in this game...cuz nerfs over nerfs over nerfs.

You sad cuz you cannot understand the build or what ?
