The gem enchantments are different. i can find the regular increase and regen stam, health and focus., but im not seeing a increase or decrease damage options
if i want tp focus on a master works build until i can find the pieces the RNG gods have blessed, am i limited ?
The devs clearly take gems as something secondary that should be combined with enchantments, rather than a system all its own, in fact the gems are generic stat boosts while the enchantments are more creative.
And gems are too rare to build until you get to the mid game.
If gems were made with the same care as enchantments, and were just as varied and found everywhere as enchantments, you would be able to choose between gems and enchantments.
Unfortunately the devs don’t seem to have the intention to try to push the gem system to its full potential like they are trying to do with enchantments.
And while the big gems are strong, and the gem-only builds are better then before, they’re less varied, and as things stand now it’s just a support system for the enchantments.
Sh!t
So focus on enchantments and tweaking rng. Got it
If the devs were going to improve the gem system, I’d prefer that. But it doesn’t seem like they’re willing to do that right now.
However, I’m only using gems in late game because with the singers it’s stupidly difficult to change builds
Now for example I’m testing the knives in the crucible because I want to make a similar item to what I wrote about the new bows, and it’s not worth enchanting them, since it’s difficult to find good enchantments.
