Transfigured gems have near zero usability versus alternate gems from Heist

T.gem idea is superior to alt quality gems

It's just the execution that is poor, many gems are not interesting, majority or just numerical change

I was hoping for more mechanical changes

To me it's more of a lack of creativity from the current team that is handling PoE 1

Look at Elden Ring, it's not a spell game, yet they have insane amount of variety

Plenty of replicas to still be found in heist that thousands of players use. Not sure what the OP is going on about in their heist opinion piece, not to mention they buffed all currency rewards at the end as well.

As for the OP's opinions on transfigured gems. Its just too early to say what builds can come out of them. And it would make sense that OP's builds wouldn't work properly with those gems or be optimized for them...

Because they have a different play to them. Its not like alternate quality where you can just interchange them 1:1, some completely modify how a gem behaves to the point that you dont even scale them the same way.

Right off the bat both versions of TR that were revealed I could make something out of and would be an improved version of base TR, not only from arrows but from their effects, one of them literally provides withered AND more projectiles compared to base TR.

The enchant removals are a slight nerf to builds but its not like anything is struggling without them. Enchants were always a min/max sort of thing, nothing build enabling by any means. This is offset if not ignored, by the immense and INCREASING borrowed power we get each league. The ascendancy providing 3 charm slots that can basically be flame/flesh but for any ascendancy is completely cracked in power.

Give one example of a useful replica unique other than Replica Alberon's Warpath. I'll wait.
