Default The gem Removal patch
I dunno how I feel about this.... It seems to me that taking off incantation rune, taking out all auras gems, and having strictly OPD DD gems and bursts is more efficient then casting as casting has always been done... If i only work with one gem, very fast clicks yields very fast casts.. and the 10 sec delay on DDs is no longer relevant. And it is amazing for fighting high bosses that resist alot, because ur pulling bursts out left and right... I can gem things down more reliably and quickly doing this. which i think destroys the whole point of 1. divination, 2. having a staff altogether (except for efficiency of gems) 3. wizardry, 4. Auras for the most part (if you are just trying to deal fast dmg, obviously not PvP where stoic and impervious are very useful). and last, 5. Rune of Incantation. Isn't that what it's there for? So u can et gems out fast (as a caster). I think a fix to this would be removing that removal ability, and perhaps making a skill to make certain types of gems draw faster? Not all gems like with deft recovery. like taunts/ what not?

I think this patch was a good addition esp. the closer I get it to cap and it was not only a caster patch it was patch to help all builds cause all can use it.

It has many uses, not only helpful during battles, but once over you can quickly shatter the gems that are sucking out mana and energy instead of waiting for new gems to pop up and replace them.

I repect your thoughts on this though cause I am sure some find it to be a waste, but you don't have to use it if you don't want


Take care

as always whippy !

it was patch note "v1.323 Remove Gems, New Epic Gems"
Right clicking your own combat gems will now remove them from play. Given that a skill exists that increases draw speed based on how few gems you have in play and that some gems have massive upkeep there could definitely be cases where you would wish to remove some gems from play. This action, like the shatter gem action, has no global cooldown so it will not interfere with normal combat functions.
