​

Best 5 Star Legendary Gems

1. Roiling Consequence - Increases your critical hit chance and causes critical hits to burn enemies.

2. Golden Firmament - Causes multiple ranged wind damage attacks and increases your evasion rating.

3. Seeping Bile - Gives a 4% chance to poison and slows enemies movement speed (also triggers the Pain Clasp gem).

4. Blood Floe - Increases damage, critical strike chance, critical hit damage, and causes enemies to bleed.

5. Fated Trail - Deals damage over time as a percentage of your life, shatters enemies' armor, and immobilizes enemies.

6. Colossus Engine - Gives increased skill damage, increased area of effect, knockback immunity, and increased size (which increases your movement speed) for a medium duration with a 20 second cooldown.

7. ​Wulfheort - This gem slashes enemies multiple times on cooldown and increases you and your minions attack speed.

8. Echoing Shade (PvM) - Gives 1-3 minions that increase your critical hit chance with the Shepherd's Call to Wolves set.

9. Frozen Heart (PvP) - This gem should be switched to for PvP for an absorb shield and to chill opponents.

Note: The Echoing Shade gem is strifed in PvP which gives a greatly reduced minion duration in PvP matches.

​

Best 2 Star Legendary Gems

1. Pain Clasp - Gives high increased damage against enemies that have a continuous damage effect on them.

2. Viper's Bite - Poisons enemies on cooldown and triggers the damage increase on the Pain Clasp legendary gem.

3. Mother's Lament - Increases your critical hit chance for a duration and causes enemies to bleed.

4. Fervent Fang - Gives enemies a stacking damage taken increase and increases your damage against elites and bosses.

5. Specter Glass - Increases the damage taken by enemies after critical hits and increases your critical hit chance.

6. Viper's Bite - Low priority gem for this build that deals damage over time and increases your attack speed.

7. Igneous Scorn (PvM) - Deals damage on critical hits and increases your damage after critical hits. Igneous Scorn is the lowest priority two star gem and should be the first to be replaced with a ranked up five star gem.

8. Crimson Behelit - The best legacy gem for PvP with increased damage and reduced damage taken but it's drop disabled.

Note: Pain Clasp, Crimson Behelit, and Mother's Lament are the top three two star gems and should be replaced last.

​

Best Starter 1 Star Legendary Gems

1. Berserker's Eye - Increases all of your damage and critical hit chance but also increases your damage taken.

2. Everlasting Torment - This budget gem deals damage over time and can trigger the damage increase on Pain Clasp.

3. Ca'arsen's Invigoration - A lower priority one star legendary gem that increases your primary attack speed.

4. Faltergrasp - Disables opponents dash skills on critical strikes and greatly reduces the opponents movement speed.

Note: Berserker's Eye is a powerful one star legendary gem that takes a ranked up 5 star gem to match its damage.

​

Best Familiars

1. Savior Duskprowler - Look for a 170+ Resilience legendary Duskprowler with the Savior passive skill which provides a cheat death and temporary damage immunity. The 170+ Resilience on the familiar lowers the cooldown of Savior.

2. Broodtalon/Skitterwight - Can have Savior which provides a cheat death and Lingering Wounds for increased damage.

3. Ash Sweeper - Ash Sweepers are strong, especially in PvP, because they damage nearby enemies and mark an enemy reducing their damage by 20% for three seconds. They can also have 170+ Resilience to reduce the cooldown of Savior.

4. Any Savior Familiar - You can use any familiar with Savior for a cheat death and great passive skills as an alternative.

5. Rare Duskprowler - Relentless Strikes is the next best skill because it gives a chance to cast the Duskprowler shield twice. Innervate which gives a chance at resetting one of the player's skill cooldowns, Steel Hide which gives a chance to block, Precision which gives critical hit chance, and Tenacity which lowers the cooldown of the shield are also desirable.

Note: Broodtalons and Skitterwights have status effects over a duration which increases the duration of Lingering Wounds.

​

Normal Gems

Prioritize Tourmalines for added damage in red sockets and a combination of Citrines and Topazes for potency and resistances in yellow sockets for the highest refinement. Potency increases harmful effects durations on enemies and resistances decrease harmful effects durations on you. Citrines for potency is preferred if you only care about PvM damage but resistances come into play more in PvP. You should also use your highest refinement Aquamarines and Sapphires which give increased armor and armor penetration in blue sockets. You can optionally combine all of your bound Rubies which give life into one or two Rubies and socket them into your equipment if they give more refinement. Gems give refinement based on their quality and refinement increases the attributes on the equipment the gems are socketed in.

​

Gem Notes

The new Fated Trail five star gem is a strong legendary gem once you have high maximum life from your resonance. The fairly new Blood Floe five star gem is a great gem when it's combined with multiple sources of increased critical hit chance and critical hit damage. Colossus Engine increases your skill damage, gives temporary knockback immunity, and increases your movement speed from its size increase on cooldown and works with Golem Form. The Viper's Bite or Seeping Bile legendary gems can be used to deal continuous damage which triggers the damage increase on the Pain Clasp two star gem. Golden Firmament is another strong five star gem that deals wind damage, increases evasion rating, and triggers Firestorms when mixed with burning damage which gives increased wind damage. The Echoing Shade five star gem summons 1-3 minions that use your primary attacks which increases your critical hit chance based on how many minions you have out with the Shepherd's Call To Wolves four set. When using multiple increased critical hit chance legendary gems you should also consider rolling increased critical hit damage on your equipment with Reforge Stones for more damage. One of your lowest priority legendary gems should also be switched to a Frozen Heart five star gem in PvP for a large absorb shield and to chill opponents which greatly improves your defenses with this tank Necromancer build. ​
