+Gem Level is stupid. 3 gear suffixes can give 300% more damage.

People are already yapping about power creep getting out of hand, rightfully so I might add. Gem levels on gear are the obvious outlier when it comes to damage scaling and also a bland numerical way to scale damage. Gem level on rares is also one of the reasons why uniques blow ass compared to crafted gear. The choice of what to nerf if GGG cares about combating power creep should be obvious.

" I swear to god, I do not understand anything of what you said And I have 900 hours in this game I only understood the " +Gem Level" part so I'm imagining you would like all +3 to projectiles/melee or +skill/gem level removed. I guess I need to start playing other classes/characters than just playing Monk or Druid But for what is worth, crafting is so RNG that I barely got +3 to spear level for my Amazon in 90 hours so I would say that GGG does not need to remove this, rather make it more common during crafting Last edited by ArdeleanuG#2185 on May 24, 2026, 7:30:58 AM

Disappointed Ghazzy nor DM mentioned this when Mark was on a 12 minute rant about unique items sucking in poe2. For most unique weapons / offhands, gem levels is a major factor why they're trash. |

" This is extra funny to me because people love to worship him as a minion god. Enjoy playing minions without +skills on every piece of gear that possibly can. |
