Ooooof. Imagine using rubies and amethysts in armor sockets.

100% Topaz.
Pretty hilarious self-own where you try and flex an item drop and then you have it socketed with dogshit. I mean, rubies are okay(ish), but amethyst? LMAO.

It sounds like you're not fellating the devs properly. Are you cupping the balls?

Let's all take a moment to bask in how unique that Razorplate is. Do you guys think it was EASY for those devs to slap one stat on that chest piece at an inflated value?

There's gotta be a spot where you can afk exp with razorplate right? Maybe pair it with "regen after not taking damage" and find a spot that has 5 minute respawns.

I got half topaz half amethyst in my armor sockets. Considering how much people cry about poison pools being op, I dunno why you wouldn't want DoT reduction. I don't think it's bugged or anything because I certainly notice a difference in how fast I die to dot stuff if I don't have any amethysts socketed.
Almost as unique as Titan's

I could see using amethyst on melees who ignore cc fairly easily, so you can better stand in plague shit.

I use sapphire as a druid, since fortify is always on.
Depends on class. Though I think skulls in jewelry is universal.
Curious if their gems will go beyond the basics. Like D3 gems.

Lol, it's hilarious that you picked an actual build enabling unique, left out that it has FRW as well, and don't realize what replenishes quantity allows for. Both Eth, and huge QoL being able to play lightning fury without having to go back to town every 2 minutes.
Yes... that actually is a well thought out unique.
Never change bud.

Ok. Thorns+bleed is boring as fuck. Ran a 50 nightmare to test it. You literally just stand there. Because I have an aspect that adds 30% damage for...standing there. Shit just explodes. And that's with shit items I threw on that says "thorns" on it.
I'm going to psyche this game out and play a thorns build! THEN my RoH will drop! It's brilliant!

Yep. The thing that makes me laugh is that even though that build is dumb as fuck - its incredibly powerful. Then you compare it to fun builds that are interactive and use multiple abilities... and... they arent even in the same league as a thorns build.

Ran a bunch of Sigils the other day because my guildmates and I were wondering if Nightmare level really effects drop rates. I only did this for like 2 hours before I stopped so my datasets are pretty small, but I did seem to find a trend of increased legendaries possibly at Nightmare threshold points:
I would have really liked to have done like 50 of these at 10 intervals of the same tier 5 times, but I'm just too lazy and don't care anymore. For what it's worth I'd say try to run 41+ dungeons if you're hunting for legendaries, but again, data set a bit too small to say anything conclusively.

I guess you need to git gud?
The only time I'm ever at risk of dying is when I'm CCed. And while there are numerous ways to gain unstoppable, it isn't like it has a 100% uptime and there's a fuckload of CC in this game.
So basically the RF build of D4.
Except sapphire is only 3% each, Topaz is 10%. Also, it isn't just hard CC like stun/freeze. It also includes chill, slow, the bees melee slow, etc.

I have 3x CC breaks and -25.7% CC duration reduction from Paragon. Topaz are basically useless for me. Making it Rubies or Amethysts as the only options.
In high dungeon keys, the only thing that usually kills me is poison. PvP is similar.
Also, I have a shit-ton of life due to having near-perfect rings, perfect pants and helm. So Rubies are good.

True, but I am in grizzly rage the vast majority of the time and bulwark in gaps. Which is unstoppable, and thus no CC can be applied. Would just be a waste imo. Where as sapphires are basically on 24/7 if I am attacking at all.

I thought the research had been done, and ruby +% life works from base and ignores any +life you have on items.
