2-Star Gems About To Get Obsolete For PVP - Diablo Immortal

[@ApollyonGaming]

The comments section made me wonder, how many of you jump straight into comments after seeing a topic of the video. No one seem to know my advice was to keep your 2-star gems and don't worry about awaken yet. Only switch gems if you feel like the meta is changing. How does that make 2-star gems bad?

[@DivineNihilism]

There are some 2* gems that are still super powerful: Viper's Bite, Pain Clasp, Mother's Lament. They'll never go outta' favor.

[@ApollyonGaming]

100%, why my advice is not to change any gems yet, unless meta changes.

[@robertanthonygarcia5921]

including Fervert fang

[@vampssz]

I strongly disagree. Two-star gems remain the primary source of raw damage in the game. Five-star gems, at most, provide a base skill damage boost without considering item effects, sets, etc. The best way to become strong in the game is to first awaken items, then upgrade rank 10 gems, and place additional gems within them to unlock primary damage and skill awakening bonuses. Don't mislead people into using five-star gems for an extra skill that has little value. Immortal isnt only about pvp. there alot pve content.

[@ApollyonGaming]

Did you watch the video or just title? I said in my video clearly, My advice is to keep your 2-star gems and don't worry about awaken yet. Only switch gems if you feel like the meta is changing.

[@ApollyonGaming]

I recorded this 3,4 days ago but had to delay it because if new content first. EVERYONE SHOULD DO THIS NOW! Awaken The Power - kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2i3oGCeq51ol5Y

New gem resonance is a clear daylight theft The community as for new slot and DI give us these. You need max 2 star and 5 star for plus 20 resonance or no buff for you.

[@Cerberos1188]

As far as I knew, I've seen only gossip about new slots, nothing ever confirmed. Even Apollyon and other content creators pointed these as rumors, and the community should've of been prepared too not throw too much espectation on rumors, until they're actually true. People get disappointed for nothign, IMO. Always expect from the official sources, until then, don't get them too high haha. Not even everything that appears on the official Chinese side is to be believable to get to Western realms too, look at their 66 Double drop Festival, they get pretty much every month, we've hade some Mirrorred gem, more recently a similar event to theirs, but only for anniversary.

[@ayam7971]

Can’t say im agree with this. 2* is still the bread and butter for F2P & small spender…

[@ApollyonGaming]

In my video, my advice was to keep using your 2-Star gems. until you see the meta change.

[@vipulverma39]

If we consider changing some of the 2 star gem with 5 star, it is difficult to upgrade it to lvl 5 since we need 8 copies, as a low spender or free to play, it is IMPOSSIBLE to get copies from rift. Don't you agree?

[@Cerberos1188]

Not even from market, specially with recent changes. F2P/Low spender are already turning to get up to 70k platinum (hard mode now. + free one) to awaken all 8 slots.

[@Sals-Clips]

I don't think they will be obsolete only because it's still expensive to rank up all of the gems we are putting in our awakened gem. I awakened all of my gems and filled up all the slots I have and there's no way I'm going to get those 2 star and other 5 star gems to rank 10. Its way to expensive.

[@ApollyonGaming]

Yes, I agree. One of the reasons my advice was to not to change any of your current gem setup because of awaken. Wait and see if meta change, if not keep using what you have.

[@alejandrorojas4417]

So are you telling me that 2* were only good for the awakening? are you sure?

[@ApollyonGaming]

If you watched the video. My advice was not to change the 2-Star gems, until we see the meta change. So keep the 2-star gems, just like I said I will keep mine for now.

[@pwdajjal]

The only 5s gems for me is Bsj, forzen heart and bottled hope. Rolling consequence is optional. I have all 2s gems upgraded to lvl10.

[@eugenebudas6879]

Mother's lament has a 5 star counterpart which is roiling, but my pain clasp has none so....I'm keeping it still...

[@ApollyonGaming]

Same, I am keeping some of my 2-star gems for now.

[@joeyregina1593]

Does the cursed gear not give you a negative effects any more???

[@ApollyonGaming]

They removed the negative effects.

[@gamestyle2249]

The only obsolete in this game since this p2w game has started is... the f2p players.

[@kingtechreviews2243]

That depends on reso ur at also do if ur like a 3k reso theese are good 2 mix around with.. with some extra slots too if they add it

[@princelyekaji9506]

Is 2 star gem still gud for pve I have them on rank 10

[@ApollyonGaming]

Some of them are good for pvp to.

[@Cerberos1188]

Most pve Content is trivial on most gems you'd use, but some stand out, specially for harder content like pushing Challenge Rifts, 'pushing' Helliquary, and Gauntlet. Fervent Fang is one of the few 2* I'd recommeng getting to r10, along with Mother's lament, and put a lock on them to not touch them, like, at all, for power.

[@princelyekaji9506]

@@Cerberos1188 thanks my feng is rank 8 just need few copies to rank to 10

[@Nafets-C]

It might, though, i still like some of the 2 stars and will retain it, ei, pain clasp ; viper

[@ApollyonGaming]

Same, I think I will keep viper for sure.

[@Cerberos1188]

The bleeding 1* is still good for more f2p friendly settups too. I use both it, pain clast and viper on my wizard alt, and I see it rock in Helliquary, solo.

[@davidbyron6981]

Well the 2 star gems are needed on 5 star gems when awakened. Right away 2 different ones

[@ApollyonGaming]

That is another good point. But still 2-star gems are good like i said and we should not change them unless meta change inside the game.

[@Asswife]

​@@ApollyonGamingfree to play can't just change gem wherever they want. free to play platinum resources is very small.

[@davidbyron6981]

@ApollyonGaming this update eating up market more lol. Plus people buying up runes

[@pp4483]

Some ppl cant even upgrade there rank 5 gem to lv 3 lol

[@kcrh21]

For now 2 star are viable options. But with the update, they will become obsolete.

[@Cerberos1188]

Only if someone wanted to spend more. You still need 8 copies of a 5* to get at least their 15% drop plus, now, being awakened, not count a lot of gem power (f2p and low spender pov). 2* there are still some good ones to keep and upgrade further than r5, but yeah, if people want more Ressonance, they'd have to get more 5*. IMO, to be 'good', specially in ALL PvE content, you don't necessarily need any 5*, even for gauntlet.

[@KThuzad]

Why You did not awakened Your slots? Weird xD

[@rayuga_RYG]

Share your wizard build please ..❤

[@ApollyonGaming]

Some new wizard builds soon. Still farming new inferno gear.

[@BLACKLIST-14]

I prefer to use my 5 star gems... Also I only play PVP

[@johnsenttv]

Idk what you Talking why 2 stars are now Bad haha

I said in my video clearly, My advice is to keep your 2-star gems and don't worry about awaken yet. Only switch gems if you feel like the meta is changing.
