Jewel Changes FAQ

avoidance is already WAY better than reduced effect/duration, so why is that mod higher?

and, if the point is to get rid of useless jewels, why the hell are you removing jewels like replica conquerors efficiency, which is one of the best unique jewels? u nuts? it's literally the biggest item that allows me to reach 0 mana cost on most of my attack builds

Are other forms of ailment mitigation being nerfed to offset the buff to Jewels?

No

...OK, but considering people are frequently suggesting these changes will just make people run Purity of Elements more often, I have to wonder whether that aura is going to see a major change and this "no" has unclear context that would exclude it.

That and, of course, the "they're more guidelines than rules" disclaimer means these answers might be true now and completely reversed later.

They could go for Vaal Impurity of Elements and make enemies take increased damage from elemental hits and all elemental ailments effects. And change the immunity from purity, make it reduced effect 50% or scaling.

Bye Bye all the builds that rely solely on Replica Conq Efficiency

You just said it yourself, it allows you to reach 0 mana cost and that means more power for us as players and they have clearly shown their "Vision" means wanting us as players to have LESS power

You missed: What about Alternate Ailments?

Brittle

Scorch

Sap


Do the jewels block 50% "Fire ailment avoidance" or only "Burn avoidance"

Nice !

It might become really difficult to craft what we need with the current crafting methods. As many other said, the mods are too many and the crafting methods, introduced in the game so far, produce poor results since a big part of them is based on pure luck.

I don’t mind the changes but to be positive changes they must address actual problems and/or aim to improve the functionality of the game mechanics.

If you're looking for a very specific outcome on your Jewel and have no use for ailment mitigation modifiers, it may be marginally more difficult to roll your Jewels. However, the average outcome for Jewels should be better.

Who is looking for these Ailment Reduced Effect or Duration?
So yea this just dilutes what players actually want.

This game is Immune / 100% Avoidance or die.

Go ahead and change the 90% of worthless Unique gems but Rares is a nerf.

RIP Wardloop, super sad since it was a build of the week recently. Big L

so far the only people complaining are ones that make the stupid insta map clear builds and uber boss killers. sounds like a skill issue
