These mods should be gone completely. All mods that are if not present then item garbage need to be gone.

Honourable mention: delete light radius. Worst thing in whole gaming.

I don't think they need to be gone completely, just giga-nerfed.
Gem level definitely needs fat value nerfs. Due to the way gems scale it's one of the only stats that doesn't falloff from stacking like crazy. Gem level stacking is just Damage*(LevelDamageGrowth^GemLevelBonus). Every single gem level is a More multiplier. +7 gem levels is like 7 seperate More damage multipliers. It's Just stupid compared to all the other damage stats that are additive with themselves.

Gem levels on gear don't even need to be removed, just nerfed hard. It needs to be treated like the More multiplier that it is.
They (Mark iirc) already said (in the Ziggy interview) that they're nerfing +Skill Gem Levels in a few places and also plan to nerf them some more.

I hope they start to feel more like chase mods and not like mandatory mods balance-wise or itemization-wise.
Spoiler
And that Movement Speed on Boots gets the same treatment.
But I guess we'll see.

I don't really think they designed them to fit into the itemization puzzle in the way I want them to. Hopefully they have better ideas than me, I believe in them.
Don't get lost by being so focused on the target that you forget to enjoy your surroundings.
Good job GGG on nerfing gem levels!

It is not good Charlie! It's half work. Becouse all corrupted items will stay unaffected by new amendments anf thous game will more unbalanced than ever.

GGG don't dare to make a step towards to eternity. It prefers chicken nerfs affecting only newbie players and that's all.
Instead of nerfing by removing gear levels why not lowering the power of its level.

Why always ruining new coming players over aces?? Everything is done for profit.
