Underpowered artifacts gems/jewels list

The new artifacts gems/jewels are a good idea, but there are a trade off on each choice and some options are weak, i made a list for that based on personal/friends feedback;


JEWELS:

Imbued Jewel of the Storm: +3% Air Damage (Acara’s Plate Helm of Defiance)
Why someone will change 20 air attunement for 3% air damage. Change it for some attunement + air magic stun effectiveness

Imbued Jewel of the Healer: +15% Life Range and Radius (Ring of Life)
The range is already good, healer need more healing power i suggest: +5% life effectiveness + 8 life attunement.

Imbued Jewel of Gust: +15% Gust Chance (Ring of Air)
One of the worst bonus, change attunement for gust chance i don´t see any build using this. Maybe some lightning damage + air attunement

Imbued Jewel of Shadow Form: +150% Shadow Form Length (Shard of Night)]
What about some shooting star damage + 8 moon attunement

Imbued Jewel of the Flame Fist: +15% Flame Fist Damage (Ring of Fire)
Imbued Jewel of the Lich Kind: +15% Death Field Power (Ring of the Lich Kind)
Imbued Jewel of the Stone Fist: +15% Stone Fist Damage (Ring of Earth)
Imbued Jewel of Blindness: +10% Blind Power (Ring of the Sun)
Imbued Jewel of Death Touch: +15% Death Touch Damage (Ring of Death)
Almost usefull, the damage could be down to 10%, some attunement added and some elemental resistance debuff like ( +10% damage + 5 Attunement - 5 target resistance)

Imbued Jewel of the Frogkin: +0.5 Jump Strength, +2 Combat Dodge Modifier (Ring of the Frogkin)
Weak dodge modifier should be 5/8 and junt strength raised a little 0,8

Imbued Jewel of the Silent Bandit: +100% Silent Movement Duration Bonus (Leather Bandit Boots)
Added somenthing cool related to subterfuge like sneak attack damage +20% and the silent bonus

Imbued Jewel of the Mouse: -20% Aggro Boost (Ring of the Mouse)
-20% aggro + 3% move rate


GEMS:
Imbued Gem of Polearm Combat: +10 Polearm Combat (Halberd of the Sun)
Polearm combat only affect autoattacks/ charged some cool effect like +0,5 meter melee range could be better.

Imbued Gem of the Unconfused: +20% Confusion Resistance (Daemon Trident)
Don´t worth there are several better options like base damage, attunement.. should be somenting polearm related like +% damage in bleed effect

Imbued Gem of the Bludgeon Combat: +10 Bludgeon Combat (Two-handed Mace of Elemental Slaying)
Don´t worth because only affects autoattacks, crushing blow and bludgeon stun duration is better.

Imbued Gem of Wild Lightning: +1 Wild Lightning (Wand of Static Discharge)
Imbued Gem of the Air Summoner: +20 Summon Air Elemental Power (Suutak’s Bluster) -
Imbued Gem of the Death Summoner: +20 Summon Lich/Skeleton Power (Anapa’s Favor) -
Imbued Gem of the Earth Summoner: +20 Summon Earth Elemental Power (Gaia’s Heart)
Imbued Gem of the Fire Summoner: +20 Summon Fire Elemental Power (Vexlyn’s Spark)
Imbued Gem of the Moon Summoner: +20 Summon Wisp Power (Aether Orb)
Imbued Gem of the Sun Summoner: +20 Summon Phoenix Power (Ankh of Wala)
Imbued Gem of the Water Summoner: +20 Summon Ice/Water Elemental Power (Frozen Tear of Titans)
Elemental gems should have some attunement plus an effect like this gem does... the trade off of losing 12/20 attunment for a little power in summons

Imbued Gem of the Stalwart Shield: +15% Shield Durability Effectiveness (Shield of Attraction)
This os the most weak gem by far, should only be appied to shield and give +20% duration for deflect and boolster stance and block power

@Elgarion

 

@Elgarion This could be a very useful thread to balance a few underwhelming gems/jewels to provide more balanced use early on in the development of the gems/jewels instead of later. Some are cool but others... very meh and I'd be surprised if anyone ever used them.

+10 Bladed Combat is useless? Give it range or slight armor penetration.

The silent movement one is a great example. We lack rogues and a lot of players REALLY want to play this. Give the Jewel something sexy like 33% stealth bonus each (which factors into the sneak attack calculation) and a lot of players would be excited to use this.

@Spinok could probably add a lot too.

 

Focus battery necklace + 75 focus could use some focus % bonus maybe 50 raw focus and 1 % bonus to focus pool
Ankh of sacrifice +1.5 focus /sec - focus regen and some 15 life attune
Wand of undying embers - 7.5% fire speed - just dont see people replacing 25 fire attune for 7.5 fire speed so maybe add some fire attune to it also 10 attune maybe

 

I'll keep an eye on these as they pour in on this thread, but please also keep in mind we have a wishlist thread for gems and jewels as well. I should see both, but it'd help if we keep it a bit centralized for input. https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/f...buff-ideas-for-imbued-gems-and-jewels.168591/

 

And thank you, already some great input
