Hello Moosseolini,

another question round from me, sorry :P

Is there a specific reason that the Gems slotted in your End-Game Gear preview sometimes have Quality, sometimes don't and even if they do have Quality it is to varying levels (Not all are 20 or 20+)?

If you had to choose which Gem to get quality on first, which would you choose?

Also, what exactly does corrupting skill gems do? And why does the build care?

Quality on gems usually provides some minor benefit to the build depending on the gem (like some increased damage or increased attack speed).

The quality on some gems, like Empower, provides nothing useful (Empower quality gives increased experience gain for the gem itself).

Some quality can even be detrimental! Phantasmal Static Strike will get higher beam frequency with quality, which can end up plummeting your DPS if you do not optimize the hit rate.

Most gems can have up to 20 levels by default, and all gems can have up to 20 quality by default. Corrupting gems modifies the gems unpredictably. If you get lucky, you can get up to level 21 and up to quality 23 on your corrupted gem. This is highly valuable for gems which scale massively from levels.

I would suggest getting quality on gems whenever you can, but it's not a huge deal if you can't do this.

Spoiler

I'm nitpicking, but in the endgame gem link section, Empower is blue but should be red. Thanks!

Edit: post updated, all good... nothing to see here!

It's very much fun with necromancer as well, build variantions are endless.
Just don't think champion is a good choice, it has no minion life/defense and no offense beside the aura effect eighter.
Even the increased damage taken node is weakened by the fact we already have a lot of that anyway.

And always keep in mind the holy nova CDR.
I LOVE playing with enhance support, nova cooldown of 0.2 instead of the usual 0.33 with basic divergent relic is abolutely amazing.
After all, best supports are awakened brutality, awakened minion damage, awakened controlled destruction, and then? Predator... funtionality is useless on relics, only works on bosses... enhance works everywhere and gets a *1.6 multiplier for dps in the right setup.
