5. ​Starfire Shard - The lowest priority 5 star gem for this build that deals high damage and stuns enemies for PvP.

6. Stormvault (PvP) - Used at rank 5+ to create a storm that damages enemies and slows their movement speed.

7. Blood-Soaked Jade - Gives increased damage, reduces damage taken below 50% life, and increases movement speed.​

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

 

Best 2 Star Legendary Gems

1. Pain Clasp - Gives high increased damage against enemies with a continual damage effect on them.

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

3. Mother's Lament - Increases your critical hit chance and releases a blood spike that causes enemies to bleed.

​7. Mourneskull - Great legacy gem that increases your damage and deals damage but it's drop disabled.

8. Crimson Behelit (PvP) - Great PvP gem that gives increased damage and reduced damage taken but it's drop disabled.

​

Best Starter 1 Star Legendary Gems

1. Entropic Well - An excellent one star legendary gem that increases your skill damage and attack speed.

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

​3. Everlasting Torment - Deals damage over time on crits which triggers the damage increase on Pain Clasp.

Note: Replace Everlasting Torment first once you can afford higher resonance two or five star gems.

​

Best Familiars

1. Savior Duskprowler - Look for a 170+ Resilience legendary Duskprowler with the Savior passive skill for a cheat death. The 170+ Resilience is used to lower the cooldown of Savior but can be lower to make the familiar more affordable.

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

3. 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 the player's skill cooldown, 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.

4. Magic Duskprowler - Duskprowler shields are hard to replace so a rare or magic ability Duskprowler is the budget option.

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 Citrines for Potency which increases harmful effects durations in yellow sockets. You should use your highest refinement Aquamarines and Sapphires which give increased armor and armor penetration in blue sockets. Refinement from a gem increases the attributes of the piece of equipment the gem is socketed in. You can optionally combine all of your Rubies which give life and Topazes which give resistances into one Ruby and one Topaz and socket one of each in your equipment for higher refinement.​

​

Gem Notes

The new Colossus Engine legendary gem is great for builds that need increased area of effect, has knockback immunity, and it gives increased movement speed from its size increase which is a nice quality of life improvement. The new Specter Glass legendary two star gem is one of the best two star gems on almost every build. Viper's Bite and Seeping Bile deal continual damage which are used to deal damage and they trigger the large damage increase on the Pain Clasp legendary gem. The Stormvault legendary gem can optionally be used in PvP once it's rank 5+ to deal damage and slow opponents. Golden Firmament is a strong fairly new 5 star legendary gem that gives wind damage, increased evasion rating, and triggers Firestorms which increases your wind damage when it's mixed with burning damage. Roiling Consequence and Mother's Lament both give increased critical hit chance and work well with the Everlasting Torment, Specter Glass, and Igneous Scorn legendary gems which deal damage on critical hits. You should also consider rolling critical hit damage on every piece of gear with Reforge Stones when using these crit gems. Igneous Scorn and Everlasting Torment are the lowest priority legendary gems on the list and should be replaced once you can afford to rank up 5 star legendary gems. ​
