diablo 3 augment ancient item consume gem?

If toughness is an issue then there is a problem with the build.Īnd by immortal I don't mean it's impossible to die - if you make mistakes you CAN die with any class, always. And each following GR requires a ton more dps, but not as much tougness, so wizard will remain tanky until as high as you push, it will just lack the dps to move on. With archon I just need to build stacks before being able to do the same, although archon playstyle involves a lot of teleporting and movement so it's even easier to survive like that and move out of danger. Actually, with LoD i don't have to move, I can sit in the middle of any pack and channel without dying. My Lod hydra is immortal in gr126 as well - same issue with dps though. My archon is immortal in GR126 - I just lack the dps to kill fast enough :) People say that it is tedious to grind gear in Diablo2, well it is even more tedious to grind boring gems to level 150 to augment in a piece of gear.The fact that wizard is the worst class this season means it can push a few tiers lower than some other classes, but doesn't change the fact archon and lod hydra are extremely tanky builds compared to the other int classes and their meta builds. The power of gems will still level up to 150 so there would still be a reason to actually farm higher rifts even if you make it easier to compete with augments on the leader board.

Take Leap barb as an example, why the beep would we currently max level augment Might to see how far we can take the build? We would actually be able to do ‘‘fun’’ builds if augmenting fun items was not a massive waste of time. Level 100 max for augment would be perfect because augments would not be a tedious full time job. It is currently a waste of time to spend high level augments on gear that you might replace in a game or two, and to play with 2 sets is currently not doable if you want both sets to be augmented with very high gems. What I find stupid about the current system is that you want to save your high gems till you get better gear.

I think that the augment stat bonus from gems should cap at level 100 and the bonus should be the same as a current 150 gem by dividing 150/100 which will give 7.5 stat per level.
