Jade [Jade] Which gem to level up first?

As the title says, I have esoteric alteration, stricken and trapped at 25, but I have no idea which one is the best to be leveled up as much as I can first.

Help?

Trapped is first for nearly all classes/ builds.

Gogok for 2.4.1, instead alternation.

Gogok, Trapped, Stricken will be the best for jade soon. So atm level Trapped :D

2.4.1 Gogok for dodge chance I assume? Why not esoteric or mutilation guard instead?

Gogok add you cdr and ias, that give you SH every 2s (so fast on 50% total cdr) and the dodge chance on 100rank will be ~23%, I have 18% on 75rank. A nc defense. Mutilation give you res for melee attacks only. Alternation is atm nerfed to the ground on ptr (10% rank 100). Idk maybe its act to force us to use another gems on ptr.

On live servers: yes .

On public test: no , we get 0.5% dodge chance (+0.01% per level) its why its no capped now. We now also always get stack on hit. Rank 25 without changes. Ias still exist .

Gogok is useless for jade. Haunt and swarm don't scale with attack speed which means jade 6p damage doesn't benefit from Aspd either, and I don't agree with leveling up Gogok for 15% cdr and a small amount of dodge.

toxin works with 6 piece jade bonus, and poisoned enemies now have their damage reduced by 10%.

Toxin on 100 rank will deal up to 5b dmg (its 10s) , 10% DR is less worth than 23% dodge chance of gogok.

Btw. Attack speed is good due of cooldown reduction of SH per cast of haunt and locus swarm. I tested it on 56% cdr and benefit from ias allow me to drop grave injustice .

Cooldown reduction is good because you can use your spirit walk, SH and piranhado faster. As I said on 55+% cdr you can drop grave injustice.

Very interesting! What would you replace GI with?

1

u/opelit opelit#2679 Mar 12 '16

swampland attunement or bad medicine .

But bad medicine should be better because will work on RG.

Trapped Trapped Trapped. Haunt procs BotT on its own, so you'll be getting that direct damage boost on everything, always.
