Gems s4.. all ruby in armor? seems like less diversity than before

and the stat gems like strength, willpower, etc… seem week to me. if you are keeping the removal of damage reduction from them maybe make them add 50 to a stat.

…if in future…
this is a prelude to str/dex/will/int being punchier… than fine i guess

What do you suggest for a defensive gem as the existing gem already covered armor and resistance in jewelry?

They could go multiple ways.

  • Increased resistance cap
  • Increased armor %
  • Increased damage reduction (flat or %)

Heck, they could even do mix and match. For example, say you want armor AND resists:

  • Increases armor by n and all resistances by y (where both y and n are smaller than a single resist / armor gem).
  • Increase max life by +500, armor by +1200, reduce all resistance by 10

You can really come up with some imaginative things here even though the pool of attributes is currently low.
