LiftingNerdBro Reveals Three New Unique Jewels!

Now we know why they nerfed scion ascendancy. Sigh.

I wonder if these are prophecy league only.

Per each huh, so does that mean its multiplicative and stacks?
So if you have 7 grand spectrum viridian, that will be 7*7*6?
IF not, a decently rolled magic jewel is probably better all of them.
After all, almost 300% increased elemental damage is pretty OP, so I doubt it would be that awesome.

That is exactly how it works - except that it was already nerfed to 5% instead of 6%. They also scale off the other grand spectrums.

people claim there is no way to balance this jewels, and that they are stupid 'cose you can scale it too easely, i think there is a way to balance them and make them more funny, add a simple and tiny negative effect to the jewel, for exemple


"5% increase elemental damage per grand spectrum
-0.5% attack speeed per grand spectrum"

"gain 15 mana per grand spectrum
-0.02% life regen per second per grand spectrum"

or even a downside that can be mitigated from the others jewels, like
"+75 armour per grand spectrum, -1 mana per grand spectrum"

in my opinion an assect like this make them more funny and it's harder make build around them, 'cose if you take too many jew-s for allocate them, you have to compensate their downsides and spend passives on the tree

wow, not too shabby. its more powerful the more you get. this seems like a redundant statement but check it out.
for the elemental damage one, even if it was already nerfed to 5% as said above...

5 jewel sockets (pretty easy to get) will net you 5x5x5 = 125% bonus elemental damage, which is MASSIVE, but using 10 doesn't double the amount to 250, its 10x10x5 = 500%!!!! which is 4x the power instead of 2x.

if you don't have many jewel sockets, it isn't worth it. if you can get a bunch, its definitely worth it.


in the build im currently playing i can get 6 jewel sockets with 12 passive points. that would give me a benefit of 6x6x5 = 180% bonus elemental damage. that is an average of 15% per passive point, which is actually quite enormous.
compare that to 56% for 5 passives at shadow start (11.2% per passive point) or even 71% lightning damage for 5 passives north of witch start (14.2% per passive point).

you'd be very hard pressed to match that with rare jewels, and it would probably be much more expensive. lets say you can average 20% increased damage per jewel, x6 is only 120%.
rares would still be better overall if you could afford 6x jewels that had 3 good relevant mods to your build, but again that would be extremely expensive.
