right but the one I need for my ring as a healer is glitching mid fight. but, it was doing that before the hotfix
Or Blizz should actually listen to feedback on the PTR and make the changes then instead of waiting for it to go live, get backlash then change it. Isn’t that part of what the PTR is for, to test and make changes and fixes.

I literally said yes they need to do that, just that being a grump and acting like it shouldn’t be fixed at all if it wasn’t right the first time is silly. What are you trying to argue about at this point?
Has any website compiled a breakdown of all the gems and which might be optimal for each class/spec? It would be useful to know which configuration might be optimal for a melee dps, or a healer or a tank or caster dps etc.
Yeah, WoWhead has.
Generally speaking the BiS for basically everyone is:
500 of each secondary stat.
Mastery + increases the other ones based on your mastery.
2k of your highest secondary stat OR RNG another gem at 150%.

Just a quick aside, the 150% effect gem is ONLY good in group content. A major reason why it’s so strong is that it can proc the “Buff people’s thunder gems” proc which means it gives aan enormous amount of groups stats. Typically that sort of thing isn’t counted for player DPS value, but since everyone~ is wearing it then you get as much from them as they do from you and it sorta ends up being a wash.

I managed to get a kill without the collapsing error and still got no award for it. It’s just bugged all around.
The amount of half-ash’ury fixes coming from Ion’s team is no longer shocking. If “but having to wait for a specific invasion type in order to obtain your Citrine of choice has felt like it’s creating more frustration than anticipation” logic can be applied to having to wait for associated enemy cultures - why on god’s green earth can’t the ones obtained via World Quests or other events use that same logic.
It’s a step in the right direction but the please follow through and apply this fix to the entirety of the system not just part of it.
Nothing has changed as far as my friends and I can tell. We played multiple characters all night and every time a new event popped up on the table, the only thing it says it could reward was a chest or one of the two gems that had already been awarded before.
Did the event dozens of times and we got absolutely NOTHING every time, not even a chest.
You guys didn’t fix anything, but you did completely break the reward system.
The gems are not dropping for me I did the same one several times very frustrating. I had trouble with multiple not dropping for me
I have done the event multiple times and have been unable to get the Stormbringer’s Rune Citrine to drop at all.
Gems still suck though. I can gain 1% of every stat, but lose 5% of my top stat by taking both stat gems, and only gain some stam + a proc effect that isn’t that good that overheals by more than 50%.
Has anyone verified if these new gems count as “unique algari gems” for the blaspehmites?

Over an hour doing events still dont have 3 gems.
Bought 2 of those gems and doesnt show up in acheivements(maybe only works from drops?)
Once you get them, you can buy them, where, they not on vendor where i bought 3 earlier.
It’s the fact they do this over and over again, and people are ok with it as long as it gets fixed eventually. It’s basically telling them it’s ok to make a bad choice as long as they fix it down the road. Players are tired of it and want them to stop acting like they know better, then changing it later and getting praised for listening.
Players want Blizz to listen to feedback the first time, instead of waiting for it to go live then make changes.

ok so just tried it this morning
a tank pulled the boss all the way to the back of the cave behind the stalagmite stone pillar thing and held it there for the whole fight.
both times were successful 
I got both runed gems from Shuddering Hollow now.
You just got lucky. I’ve tried this like a dozen times now. The event still breaks. I suspect the issue might be that if any of the bosses targeted abilities go “out of bounds” (so even into the back cave wall) it breaks the event.
