Stacking 3x Gem Hide

Anyone tried it?

j/k this game sucks. Thanks for the rng gear Ion.

The more I get gear upgrades with azerite traits I don’t need the more I look forward to classic servers.

Good vs physical damage specs, so maybe ok vs WW I guess, but overall I’d say it’s still better to have resounding or impassive visage across the board.

Oh no I was just joking about getting gear with terrible traits that i’d never use. You think Gemhide is actually decent vs anything? Idk personally i’ve always seen it as a meme trait for pvp.

i’d be surprised if it were even 3% additional phys reduction

Anyone got exact numbers and percents on Gemhide? It’s obviously bad, but how bad?

It can be good for physical damage yes, also nice if you have any boost on armor (bear form/ironfur, or destro demon armor).

It actually can be good, I forgot how much damage reduction it added but it definitely isn’t useless it’s just very niche if anything.

I remember in some TR games rositajones used it vs us as Jungle in first BfA season, reduced the damage he took by a good amount.

Basically gemhide isn’t actually completely useless, it’s just really situational so visage/resounding are overall much better but gemhide in certain matchups is actually solid.

I love that not a single piece of Ret gear has both impassive and wings mastery traits. This includes all the PvE gear from residuum too.

Isn’t there resounding traits though? That’s pretty fine tbh.

Do you mean Avenger’s Might? I am wearing two pieces of gear with impassive+AM.

Hmm when I went through it before I must of been tired and missed those. Now I gotta rethink my whole set lol

Why? I see you already have the coveted 1xGemhide+1xVampiric Speed combo :joy:.

I’d be happy if I could get a resounding for the added dispel protection+2x impassive.

Same. I think the best I can do is pickup the helm you have and keep the other 2. That would leave me with 3 AM, 1 impassive, 1 resounding, 1 Azerite veins (I know it’s nerfed but it’s better then nothing)

The hard part is getting another 415 token and waiting for 5 more weeks for another helm reward :persevere:

The best thing is when you get the pieces of gear that have Vampiric speed and Empyreal Ward on them as the last traits

Freaking worthless garbage

Look at my head piece

Am + Visage

dummy thicc self reliance melee meme

Resounding can’t be dispelled.

Pretty sure triple gemhide on destro locks makes war or ww comps much more tolerable because of the impact on Demon Armor

Yeah your setup is missing Empyrean though. Those free procs are so good for stacking Crusade I don’t know if I would play without it ever :stuck_out_tongue:

orly so I won’t need to shoot for it then danke
