Transfigured gems have near zero usability versus alternate gems from Heist

I do not use one single transfigured gem.

the 8 conventional primary gems I use are ideal for my build.

alternate gems gave me like 4 or 5 choices how to use my build.
transfigured? 1 choice.

I could do another build but.... why dont you do it?
I'm busy.

What do you mean "why?" ? Did you not read what I wrote or what's the problem? Or are you here stalking my and other people's posts as usual telling people how your opinion is superior? Transfigured gems are inferior in every way, period. I explained how in extensive detail, if you don't like what I have to say about the reality of the situation then why are you interacting with my post in the first place?

There is no way around it either and no amount of coping with the current situation is going to make the situation go away. You would have to deliberately deceive yourself to believe otherwise. Transfigured gems are less meaningful compared to Heist Alternate gems, have fewer alternate interactions, have fewer varieties, AND don't cover ALL of the gems as opposed to the Heist gems that did. Not even mentioning severe DPS decrease across the board for all builds comparatively. POB numbers don't lie either. What part of this prompted you to ask why? Because from what I read in your antagonizing replies, I did not hear a single argument from your end that refutes anything of what I said. Most of your posts & responses are just in favor of whatever devs have to say anyway so not only is there no valid argument from your end, but it's just bias. Also, if your opinion is correct, why are other people commenting on here stating how they also dislike transfigured gems?

I'll bump my post every day 💯

Them basically treating transfigured gems like a kind of shift in gameplay paradigm gems, and then only introducing a handful; tells me it was someone's mind baby fad.

This season only had a few, and the entire list isn't fleshed out. Not only that, but the base stats given from some of the heist gems aren't even present, which actually damages a bunch of lesser used and niche builds.

Why? I don't know. They seem to be playing with gameplay mechanics like toys. After a while they get bored of them and then just leave them alone, nerf them, or just completely patch them out, instead of actually progressing those mechanics into something substantially differentiating.

I think that conceptually the transfigured system is much better, and for the most part the execution is well done in my opinion, the only problem is that they just don't have nearly as many, like you've touched on.

They obviously also used the opportunity to take out a few different quality effects that they just didn't want in the game, for whatever reasons, but then they just left a ton of skills in the corner. Like I get that they couldn't and probably shouldn't have even tried to release all* that there was going to be in one pass; obviously they need to release them in batches. But the first batch wasn't actually even that big. Every skill should have gotten at least 1 transfigured version in that first release of transfigured gems. But there are still at least half the skills that don't have one. And they're not releasing enough of them each patch I think.
