every other gem has been revealed now...there is no trans RF or it just doesnt get released until league start so people cant theory craft their builds?

It could also not have a alternate version.

RF seems to be fine.. you just need to stack mana->es conversion and some life

good luck scaling fire trap though.. or maybe its fine

my bet, the devs just dont know what to do with it. So the RF gem will be the last one shown or maybe even left out...

Would not be surprised. Delays are common, like the mystery box last league that was super late after start. Also, since everyone is a beta tester, when a design is in doubt let the masses do the work and fix it end of league.

I was really hoping there would be a viper or pestilent strike gem. Or even Cobra Lash. Kinda wanted to play with those skills again.

They are doing at least one for every single "main offensive" skill in the game (excluding heralds). Any skills not shown yet haven't been skipped over, it just means they weren't ready to show them yet. There's at least one more batch to show off.

The "main offensive skill" are key words in here. GGG does not see RF as main offensive skill. RF was supposed to be spell buffer and thats it.

Give them a break. It's probably crunch time galore at GGG's place. Maybe the early batch today means another batch later. Maybe they are testing the skills that are more popular than others very carefully to the last minute.
Complain after the fact, not before.

They should just remove RF from the game and save noobs from the noob trap. It's DOA.

RF is fine.

Unlike Vortex which got completely deleted. I swear some of the new gems feel like they just ran them through an AI and took whatever got spit out.

I think there will be a redesign of trans gems as we go on. This is the first league with this design and it seems at least a little rushed to me.

Eventually the underplayed ones might get reworked, removed, and each skill will have different versions.

There also needs to be "shitty" versions of trans gems though, like how Magic packs have to have shitty Rares, to make opening something good feel good. Like how gambling on Lab Gem crafting will net you something good only sometimes.

league launches in less than 24 hours...i think its safe to say there wont be a trans RF. its one thing to ruin regular RF but we wont even get a trans version?

Oh, it's in there.
Two versions:

One has a 50% chance to instantly kill your character, and everything on the map except the boss which will have its resistances doubled.

The other heals everything within its radius while draining the player's ES/Life.

So that didn't age very well did it. Though whether it satisfies the people wanting a lazier build or not is another question.
