![]() *130% more damage to an attack that has an already elevated damage stat just makes sense. *Critical hits are ridiculously underrated and happen more often than you notice. Emerald is the best gem in the Weapon slot due to the 130% critical hit damage buff. Again you have multiple choices here, but I will only recommend the two that make the most sense. This slot has caused numerous arguments in my living room and will, I am sure, cause many more as long as Diablo is the Lord of Terror. More armor means you will be able to deal more damage before having to move and reset Taeguk’s buffs Weapon *The heavy channeling style means you will likely take damage more frequently that a swift ranged style. *Strength is the amount of armor a character has. Ruby is the next choice in these slots as it adds strength to you Wizard’s stats. *Additionally, Intelligence increases Resist to all types of incoming damage. *Intelligence is an attribute that increases the Wizard’s damage output. Topaz is the top choice in these slots as it increases intelligence by 280 points (Flawless Royal) You can load one gem in every slot to severely buff one stat, or you can use different gems to buff attributes based on your needs. Other You have two different options when it comes to picking gems for “other” slots, such as torso and pants. *Reducing the cost of resource spending attacks means you can channel longer and gain a better bonus from Taeguk. *For builds such as LOD/Hydra, you will be channeling, summoning, and casting spells frequently. Topaz is the second choice due to reducing resource costs by the same 12.5%. *Archon form has a Cooldown of 120 seconds and with Chandtodo’s/Vyr’s set bonuses casts a powerful wave of destruction every second during Archon Form. *Cooldown reduction is critical here as we are trying to use Archon Form as much as possible. Diamonds are the ideal choice for the Helm socket in the Chantodo’s/Vyr’s due to the added cooldown reduction of 12.5% (Flawless Royal Diamond) * Lastly, we use Taeguk because you will be spending a bulk of your resources on channeling skills. *Enforcer enables the LOD/Hydra build to pack a punch. This is great for newer and more casual players because you don’t need to build a full set to use the effects. *Legacy of Dreams is an alternate gem because it buffs damage when no set bonus is being used. Finally, Legacy of Dreams rounds out the outfit by buffing damage dealt per legendary item while no set bonuses are being used. Enforcer buffs the damage dealt and reduces damage taken by pets by 15%. Taeguk provides a damage buff to resource spenders while channeling that stacks up to 10 times. This outfit of gems looks utterly different than the set above because LOD/Hydra is a build focusing on channeling attacks and summoning pets. *Bane of the Stricken is primarily for killing the Rift Guardian quickly. *Bane of the Trapped is an all-around damage buff as you will be using Blackhole and Slow time in between Archon Forms Therefore the attack speed buff from Gogok is also beneficial. *The Chantodo’s Set buffs Archon Form immensely and also scaled with attack speed. *Cooldown reduction from Gogok of Swiftness is key to entering Archon Form frequently. Finally, Bane of the Stricken is used for damage to bosses or rift guardians as it increases damage dealt on a single enemy with every attack you land on that enemy. Controlled enemies (frequent with slow time and black hole) take increased Damage with Bane of the Trapped. Gogok of Swiftness increases attack speed, dodge chance, and reduces cooldowns after level 25. If you are unfamiliar with Legendary Gems, I wrote a sweet article on the top ten a few days ago. The second selection is based on LOD/Hydra. Keeping this in mind, my selection of gems is based on the Archon build mentioned above. These (two) rings and amulet will take gems with attributes that are very build-and-playstyle specific. The jewelry slot is where you will be equipping Legendary Gems. The suggestions below are based on the highest tier Wizard builds, Legacy of Dreams/Hydra, and Chantodo’s Vyrs/Archon builds. You are in luck because today I will be giving my recommendations on how to bling-out your mage. I am so glad you asked that, oddly specific and almost precisely the title of my article, question. “Kris, If diamonds are a girl’s best friend, then what gem is the best friend of a demon-slaying, ass-kicking wizard?”
