Nice job. Could you maybe do this with other melee gems such as Elemental Hit ? thanks

I can start leveling it, I suppose, but it wont be any time soon. If anyone on anarchy would let me borrow a level 20 ele hit(I suppose I can give some form of insurance if I have to) Ill be happy to check.

I'm silly, forgot the gem had to be lvl20 ^^'

Ill throw one in my gear, but im leveling a random alt for a bit of a change after leveling empower so itll be a fair while till its done.

melee skills generally don't scale too much with level.

that seems like some solid dps, its a pity viper strike cant be used with melee splash if it was we could see some nice 1h+ shield kaoms builts , id say as it is now u could use 1h + shield with kaoms on weapon swap for bosses :)

indeed, lvl 26 viper strike on a vuln target is probably near 10k dps

Yea, hence why we are talking about the ones that do.

It would actually be really benefical to the community if you do check a bunch of gems, and have someone update the wiki with all the results. I'm sure there are people who could help you out.

Perhaps make a separate post requesting gems to test?

I wonder if level 25 Purity is 5% or 6%. Pretty great either way!

Even if you don't get the data on any more gems thanks a lot for confirming the possibility of level 26 gems!

Id quite like to, and im trying to find a level 20 ele hit atm.

The main issue is that I dont have the +1 gem +2 gem weapons id need to test most gems, or the gems themselves.

If I come across anyone actually selling them in trade Ill try and rent them for a minute or something to get screenshots but.. mostly depends on luck.

I have a 15% quality empower I am leveling on an alt I planned to use it on. I did not realize how much exp it took lol. I really need to get that last 5% quality. Even then when I think of the new leagues coming out, I feel like this is a pointless endeavor.

Regardless, I will have to level one again in the new leagues and not having quality on it (because I'll be broke from starting over) is really going to make it painful.

Yea, not looking forward to that. I didnt even have one drop in the entire time it took me to level it either so getting one early wont be easy..
