As you know everything is changing in patch 2.0 and that includes gems. Blizzard unfortunately missed adding gems to the notes so here are the Gem Changes.
- The drop quantity of Gem Fragments now increases as you ascend Difficulties.
- New Gem Tier: Grand
- Requires 100,000 gem fragments to craft.
- Grand provides a 50% increase in power from the previous tier, Royal.
- Some Gem effects have been reworked
- Ruby armor effect changed from % Max Life to + Strength.
- Amethyst armor effect changed from +Strength to +% Barrier Generation.
- Diamond armor effect changed from +% Barrier Generation to + All Stats.
- Many Gem stat bonuses have been adjusted to better reflect Patch 2.0 numbers.
- Gem stat updates, starting with Chipped, ending with Grand:
- Ruby (+ Strength), Emerald (+ Dexterity), Topaz (+ Intelligence), Sapphire (+ Willpower): +25/50/75/100/150.
- Amethyst (+% Barrier Generation): +2/4/6/8/12.
- Diamond (+ All Stats): +8/16/24/32/50.
- Skull (+% Healing Received): +4/6/8/10/15.
