A new design journal has been published on the Diablo 3 site that lays out some forthcoming design changes to legendary gems in the game. The article begins with a discussion of gem basics, what role each fulfills and how some have slipped through the cracks as far as being worth using. To address this, several gems will be undergoing significant changes in the next patch.
Gems that will be buffed:
- Enforcer
- Gogok of Swiftness
- Mirinae
- Simplicity's Strength
Gem overhauled and 'nerfed':
- Taeguk
The changes will bring some much needed variety to usage and utility for players so, all in all, it seems to be a series of good decisions.
