Jewel Changes FAQ

All I hear is "nerf nerf nerf" (except mana res being moved to the general pool).
When are we getting "here's a bunch of stuff you can have fun with" changes?

There are 3 massive issues with the manifesto and subsequent follow-up:

1) This was not an existing problem, but a new problem created by GGG when they removed the jewel implicits from Harvest for no discernable reason. This was a self-inflicted problem for which we had a superior solution literally 1 league ago.

2) In a world where you've taken away mana reservation efficiency time and time again, you're now pushing people in the far more efficient direction of just running Purity of Elements. Giving back 2% MRE as a possible jewel explicit does not make up for the fact that we lost the MRE mastery.

3) You committed to taking feedback. This change has had overwhelmingly negative feedback. You showed up here in this announcement to double-down and essentially say you're not actually taking feedback, but simply making decisions and then going into further detail about the intent behind them. The change is bad. The feedback is "don't fucking implement this".

Every single time we utilize a jewel mod affix for ailment immunity, we're giving EHP or damage. This is just another thinly-veiled attempt and slowing players down. All that's going to happen is you're going to see the usage of Purity of Elements spike as people roll MRE on every jewel they can, since Purity of Elements makes us immune to all elemental ailments and the MRE that enables us to run it alongside the other mandatory defensive auras benefits us anyway.

It's never been more clear that you all don't play your own game.



GGG should cut you a check for this advice.
oh and while i'm at it on the subject of jewels, thanks for fucking Hollow palm in the fucking dirt. Thanks for making a build almost nobody used fucked into the fucking ground. Truly an amazing design, GGG, keep it up. Keep making the game less fun and keep narrowing the pool of builds we can do, it's such a great idea, y'know.
Making items that enable specific builds. That just don't work.
Keep it up.

will one with nothing be affected by those changes on jewels? or the changes are for just the regulars? not including unique clusters ones? i'm still confused because i like hollow palm a lot
Conqueror's Efficiency: its mana reservation stat has been moved to the regular Jewel mod pool.


please keep "replica Conqueror's Efficiency" in heist though! that item is too useful early game!
All that crying. Wait and see, maybe there will be introduced other things that will make up for your loses guys.. if not then that is intended, and you can leave the game, and if enough leaves, GGG know they did something wrong, with not listening to feedback and etc.etc. but because a jewel like replica conq, and the one for waardloop is out, it shouldnt be enough to ruin the game experience.. figure it out, work around it, or okay a god damn other build with one of the billion skills there are, and if you want play other skills than oneshotters. Then its just sad for you. Whoever you are.. take care everybody.
Looking forward to replies from people that want me to fuck off 😂
aura stacking is back my friends
Please, GGG, while you're at this, please consider buffing or at the very least remove the stat requirements when socketing Combat Focus Jewels.

It's already very outdated and it limits HARD the way I actually want to build my character forcing me to path out of my intended "build", lets say I want to socket 2 jewels to make me use only fire damage, but i have nothing worth for a build in the lower side of the tree near duelist, and i mean nothing at all, I'm still forced to go there just to socket a jewel and NOTHING else.

These restrictions on STR/DEX/INT in jewels do not do any good at all. It's just HARSLY limits whatever building options I have cause i'm forced to waste more then 10+ points just to reach a jewel socket, and let's not forget that i'm AT THE SAME TIME limiting myself from 2 entire jewel sockets just to make sure that I do 1 Type of damage and invest in it. Prismatic Skills do NOT work like Triple elemental damage as people do with LS. I can only do 1 damage type at a time and I have to choose which one to invest in. Allowing 3 or 2 damage types in prismatic skills severely harms the damage output later on and to offset that, I have to path on the tree wasting more then 10 or even 15+ points sometimes just to reach 1 jewel socket. It makes no sense. Please at the very least. Remove the attribute requirements for Combat Focus jewels. It's BAD

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.


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 ?

are you aware that the build is more than fine atm,just get more flask duration or smth,play pathfinder, requires more invest smh,that build clears whole game very easily,idk about fun bro i have my part in this game,you do you,and no i understand wardloop clearly,i was making builds in closed beta and have more than 10k+ hours,in this game,last epoch,diablo2-3,grimdawn,torchlight,i have a big torchlight channel that used to be popular in the past too,so peace man,...
First Mirror drop at t8 pier map in legacy league :D
Second Mirror drop at t16 promenade map in delirium league :D
Gods knows what happened in affliction league... :L
Rip wardloop. You were a fun build. Now you are gone and will be missed. Another build bites the dust.
