Taeguk's is arguably too powerful for offense/defense (even though most builds don't use it) now, but that aside, the gem worked okay back when most of us were topping out at 40 or 50 stacks. We kicked this issue around on the new podcast (coming tonight) and basically agreed with Wyatt (and most fans) that Taeguk's has become unwieldy largely thanks to power creep. This could come in the form of defensive bonuses on other gems, a reduction of monster damage at higher greater rifts, or a combination of both. If we adjust Taeguk or make Taeguk channeled only, we would have to make sure survivability was still readily available. Many people have pointed out that Taeguk is used for the survivability as much as for the damage. If we went this route we would have to make sure non-channeled builds that currently use Taeguk such as HotA and Cluster Arrow) have competitive alternative gems.Ĥ. There seems to be a lot of support to make Taeguk work with only channeled skills. Let's move towards the gems having niches even if we don't get there overnight.ģ. I know many other gems (looking at you Bane of the Trapped) are also ubiquitous - pointing at other ubiquitous gems are not a justification to make Taeguk more ubiquitous. Legendary Gems are supposed to have niches. This solution is workable but less exciting because it cements Taeguk as the best gem for even more builds. There's been some suggestions (to address point #1) that the stacks simply fall off slower. These are great suggestions keep 'em coming!Ģ. I also saw a suggestion that it only take 3 seconds to reach max stacks but it falls off as soon as you stop channeling. I've seen suggestions that Taeguk only stack to 20 and the damage per stack scale instead. If Taeguk stacked way faster then it wouldn't be as big a deal if those stacks fell off. Maybe a friend whispered me and I want to take 5 seconds to type a reply with more than one syllable. Maybe I want to pick up a lot of items from a Gelatinous Sire. It should be okay for Taeguk to fall off in general. We'd like to address stacks falling beyond just the loading screen. if you had 100 rubies, turning them into 200 rubies, or whatever, is an exploit and if you get found to have used it, you’re likely to lose your account.1. Unless you’re talking about these two scenarios, any other way that you may have heard of that even hints at duplicating gems, i.e. This is risky purely because if you get a disconnect or the game crashes, you lose everything on the ground. You could repeatedly do this, dropping the same gem on the ground each time, and build up a collection of the same gem on the ground in town, then pick them all up. The Guardian will drop another of those gems because it’s not on your hero, follower or in your stash. the ones you put in your other hero’s inventory).Īnother way to do this, albeit more risky, is to drop a legendary gem on the ground in town before going into the GR. So, you can switch to another hero, take some gems from the stash into their inventory, switch back to your main hero and run GRs again, and the Guardians will drop the gems that it can’t see (i.e. However, what the Guardian sees as valid to drop is based entirely on the gems are available to your hero, follower and stash at the time the GR is completed. At that point Guardians will no longer drop a legendary gem on GR completion. Guardians will continue to drop one of the 22 gems (other than the Red Soul Shard from the event) that you do not have until you have all of them.

One of those is only available during the Darkening of Tristram event, which occurs every January. you beat the 15 minute time limit) one of the items the Guardian will drop is a legendary gem. Whenever you successfully complete a Greater Rift (i.e. if an imperial ruby drops, you’ll get an imperial diamond too. Whenever a marquise or imperial gem drops, of any colour, you’ll also get a drop of a corresponding level of diamond, i.e. So, let’s say your helm has a diamond in it. This effect does not apply to Legendary Gems. Whenever a gem drops, a gem of the type socketed into your helmet also drops. When the hero wears the Broken Crown helm, or has it as the active Armour power in Kanai’s Cube, it causes this effect…
