Cluster Jewels Over Nerfed?

Yeah, counting that anything other than this specific roll is useless (even more life than expected ?) and obviously the rolls are useless. So chance of hitting a #FlatLife with a pristine fossil is 22%. Chance for a notable on that is 75%. Well, you have a decent roll for 6-7 pristine fossils. After that, you're free to trade any unwanted good roll for what you want...

I know that cause i was crafting and selling them on delirium. A lot of notable sells quite well (adrenaline, blessed, holistic, %str...)

If your theory was right, these small clusters should be woth 40 ex on market. They are not.

You said fettle ones I ve given you fettle ones fettle roll is 0.8% u forgot to put that in also not all notables make a good roll I dont want a 6% life on my jewel also most people use 2 point ones so getting 12 life and life regen with a notable for 12 hp and 0,2 regen is still still a bad investment even if you get it on 3 point ones they are bad investment btw like most people I do prefer fettle ones which as you stated are still astronomically rare

btw hitting a flat life is not gonna save any jewel or regen roll or all res roll and I put it as you said spesifically 12 flat life not 2 life, 12 life roll is not that common

you know you can roll clusterjewels so cheap this league...

if you want a fettle cluster jewel, roll fettel with alt+aug and than use a regal
after that use is with 3 mods or use the league crafting to add another mod,depending on what you want you can even reroll these without risking the loss of fettel notable

alts are easy to farm or dirt cheap compared to chaos and you only regal when you hit fettle anyway

spamming chaos/fossils doesnt have to be the easiest way to get those good mods on a jewel,atleast not with the amount of remvoe+add or augment harvest crafts we get
those mods are from t1 seeds for most stats cold/ligtning/fire/def/life are t1

The change to mod weights has completely ruined the fun of cluster jewels, they should straight up remove all non-notables from them and focus on the fun instead of how to slow down players to a hold.

Cluster jewels are good for certain builds. Poison and chaos builds already have a lot of good nodes on the passive tree so cluster jewels don't do much for them.

They are good for adding things that you can't easily get on the tree or items. eg. penetration or flask effect like so:




I only use this set of clusters in my WO build. Thread of Hope jewels in good locations are actually better than cluster jewels if your build can benefit from 4+ notables.


It's also not really worth using small cluster jewels except maybe for niche cases or getting chaos res. Just save up for two megalomaniacs that give 3 nodes which benefit your build and use them with a large cluster.

Must be some strange AI datamined new marketing method, that makes no sense on the surface, as GGG been doing this all over. Introduce things OP, then down the line completely wreck it. Never balanced. Either ded or OP.

small cluster jewels are actually pretty fantastic.....i ve been working on a small cluster life jewel without notables as i believe that jewel can be BiS for a dex stacking build

this is one i am not using currently, but if i can get a 14dex unto this one it would be of greater benefit to a dex stacking build than a fettle jewel. in my tree right now i am using a 35% effect +13 life+6 to all attributes jewel. both of these have a free suffix available, i am waiting to see if harvest comes over to std to see if they can be target modded for their final free mod....

a small cluster life jewel like this:
14 dex
35% effect
16life
6attributes/6 all res

this type of jewel is mirror worthy in my opinion for any dex stacker
