Just to reiterate again that gem effects are strifed to 1/3 their effect value in BG (Misery Elixer’s 24% increase duration of harmful effects becomes 8% in BG, which is definitely not comparable to Barons set effect)
i use mothers lament, berserkers eye, pain clasp, igneous scorn,fervent fang, P&C, BSJ, vipers bite. all rank 10 apart from BSJ which is rank 4. they work well together
I’m running the pebble @ 10 Berserkers @ 10 Igneous @ 10 P&C @ 10 Viper @ 10 Pain Clasp @ 10 Hellfire @ 6 and Bottled Hope @ 6. I Dumped the seeping bile and blessing of the worthy and never looked back. The five stars that are good and therefore desirable are way too expensive and far to few of them. Ones and twos are a great solution for low spend and f2p.
Agreed one and two star gems are worth having in the inventory. 5 star gems are expensive and above most players pay grade. Sacrifice resonance for power isn't a bad trade for a free to play player is it?... 😊
Couple quick thoughts, Misery Elixir isn't that great if you already use Baron's. There seems to be some sort of diminishing returns but I tests very quickly. So use 1 or the other. And testing gems, you DO lose something, the runes you used to craft copies of gems to rank up. You get the gem power back, yes, but the loss of Ast runes makes testing different gems harder when those runes could go towards getting your 2 star gems to rank 10. That's the part that hold me back from keeping a few 1* rank 10 gems for certain situations or whatever. I'll usually need the power back anyway but would be nice if they could maybe return some runs when you break a gem down again (so you'd get power and maybe half the runes required for the copies necessary for that gem, might need some restrictions on this like only for gems you craft yourself and not ones that were bought).
This video is mainly PvE purpose. Still though people keep pointing out strife debuff like it would only affect 1 star. 2 and 5 s are strifed as well. If someone is not able to get much higher resonance, then focusing on bonuses isn't a bad idea.
Yes but bottled hope reduces skill cool down. And obviously costs significantly more. Plus the issue of even being able to find 5* gems on the market. People that have plat can't even find their specific gem most of the time.
The one star gems have the huge disadvantage of lower CR. Combat Rating is the most important Stat in the game. First it is the single gateway to higher content. Second the debuff when you are below CR means you deal less damage and take more damage. So, the one star gems are a bit of a trap. You get fooled into thinking all the one star buffs are cool, but, with the trick shot for example it does not matter if your channeling skills last 24% longer but you are doing 200% less damage. You can't push challenge rifts, which are necessary both to unlock drops and level set items. You can't push Heliquary. This is also a gate to higher content. Rank 10 1 star = cr of 44 Rank 10 2 star = cr of 66 Rank 4 , 4 of 5 10 star = cr of 88 So 8 slots × 44 = 352 CR The 5 star gems take time, not $. 4 of 5 star drop sometimes as you earn the legendary crests. You get an automatic 5 star drop 1 in every 10 crest runs. You can craft the 5 star gem of choice with prarls. So 100% agree starting with 1 star gems, but one star gems are not a great long term strategy. I strongly suggest you Rank up at least 4 of the 5 star gems. The pay to win is getting 5 star to rank 10, that will cost you, but 5 star gems between rank 3 - 5 are about as expensive as 1 star gems and this gem power is available for free to play and low spenders over time.
@@leopard3131 would be nice if we get 1 5* every 10 legendary crests you spend. But you need 50 legendary crest same type(50 orange or 50 purple) to get 100% drop. Also marlet is empty. I wait 6 months to uprg my gloom to rank 4. Because it never drop for me and it is always out of market. And last. Dps in pve 2*>5*. You can have 8x5* gems and my 8x2* gems will double your dmg. Agree with cr, this is most important stat if you below requirements. But if you above, this is the most useless stat. Also do not forget that 2/5* are trash and it will be 90% of your 5* gems drops. 3/5* are fine but you aim for 4/5* gems. Single 4/5 bsj costs same amount like 2*gem at rank 10. Because you can craft them, just need gem power.
1 star gems are a starting or short term strategy, in the long run you will want to go 5 star. A low ranking 5 star (rank 3 or 4) is not more expensive than a rank 10 one star gem and the 5 star gems have better CR, better resonance, and better effects.😮
I am at 3.3k reso, but 99% of the time, I only used 1* and 2* rank 10 so my reso around 2.6k. I like it better since I already awakened 7 slots for extra damage or extra cd. As for pvp still no issue getting to Legend rank, to be honest reso are pretty much useless in BG, most of the time u get bad teams and u cant do anything about it.
@@Sistik123 yeah kinda, but Im casual player so my 2nd stats are normal range. Lately I met many 1k 2k reso with rank 7 or 8 2nd stats gems, so I believe many whale do that on purpose 😂.

Dam I love your content!!!! I appreciate everything you've ever done to help me advance.
Thanks for the shout out for Seled's I run it, I ran it, I own it, rank ten since day one and it's not leaving my inventory any time soon
Even having just one awakened slot significantly changes the gameplay.😊
Exactly. Especially for minimum spenders, it's one of the first things worth considering to get 💯
I went chest. Next is helm. On necro.
Can you make an updated 2 gems rating. Also a possibke 1 and 2 combos of gems
i use mothers lament, berserkers eye, pain clasp, igneous scorn,fervent fang, P&C, BSJ, vipers bite. all rank 10 apart from BSJ which is rank 4. they work well together
how do you do with the graphics so that the characters are small? my character looks big which i don't like

No BSJ?!?! We soooo slowwww tho.
Totally agree on your comments. Thank you very much for the beneficial information and effort that you put on your channel.
Fervet,clasp,lament,bite,berserker, torment,bsj,bottlehope this is a beast all at 10 i can beat 2k plus resonance more than me

Good job VK,
See I have a rank 4 bottle hope and rank 4 echo both at level 3 and rest are mix of 1 and 2 star I’m a necro
Did anyone else try to skip VK's helliquary cut scene?
Your saying the word "Gem" wrong
Thank you
Thanks!
Piękne donejty kroisz.nice ..Val
Sir, how to reduce stun time?
More resistance
How significant would the reduced magic find be while rocking 1 star gems? Drastically, fewer materials and legendaries in open world?
No is not that drastic
For me 2 stars gems all the way. Berserker eye acceptable.
Good video but it seems like you completely forgot about strife.
This video is mainly PvE purpose. Still though people keep pointing out strife debuff like it would only affect 1 star. 2 and 5 s are strifed as well. If someone is not able to get much higher resonance, then focusing on bonuses isn't a bad idea.
Aren't bottled hope and pebble almost identical?

Rank 10 1 star = cr of 44
Rank 10 2 star = cr of 66
Rank 4 , 4 of 5 10 star = cr of 88
So 8 slots × 44 = 352 CR
The 5 star gems take time, not $. 4 of 5 star drop sometimes as you earn the legendary crests. You get an automatic 5 star drop 1 in every 10 crest runs.
You can craft the 5 star gem of choice with prarls.
So 100% agree starting with 1 star gems, but one star gems are not a great long term strategy.

@elmerofun6669 does not sound as if you use 1 star all that much either. They are starter gems.
@@leopard3131 did not say single word about 1*gems.
You lose a significant amount of combat rating by swapping the gems out also.
