General Discussion - I'm getting tired of this... - Forum

im sure over the next few leagues even more exceptional gems will be introduced to add more variety fixing the problems that the removal of awakened gems caused for some builds. minions didn't even get hit the worst... some dot builds lost way more(no +2 from the woke supports, lower multipliers from 3-4 supports, and sometimes more)	Posted by dorkdude2#1774 on Apr 27, 2026, 3:51:05 PM Quote this Post

It removes options, just like it did when they removed all the alternate gems. You might believe that PR but its 100% a nerf and in no way adds build diversity.

Awakened gems (except for aw. enhance, enlighten and empower) can no longer drop. But the existing ones in standard still exist but they still work , right ? they still make minions deal more damage ?	Posted by acco73#3356 on Apr 27, 2026, 10:39:01 PM Quote this Post

Believe it or not, nerfs are the bread and butter of build diversity. If strong builds stays strong, no-one will invent new ones and the meta goes stale. There's always strong builds around that no-one has discovered yet. The pieces are there, but if nobody is incentivized to put them together, then it just won't happen. In other words: Necessity is the mother of invention	Posted by twostroketom#5281 on Apr 28, 2026, 4:11:36 AM Quote this Post

Exactly this, and removing this gem in particular is not a small change. Removing the +1 to minion levels isn't just a small power issue, it breaks the entire gear setup to the point where I have to completely re-orient how I gear my character from scratch.

I love all you people on the forums, we can disagree but still be friends and respect each other :)	Posted by Snorkle_uk#0761 on May 21, 2026, 2:09:30 PM Quote this Post

You're seriously trying to suggest that gambling with expensive gear is actually a viable alternative to just slotting a gem? Are you high?
