Just because it makes sense for someone at 5k-10k paragon doesn’t mean it’s worth it at 1500-3000 paragon. rubies/emeralds and see whether you think it’s actually worth it. I feel like this is a case of lower paragon players not understanding the math, seeing high paragon players on the leaderboard do it, and copying it, without understanding it just doesn’t really make sense at lower paragon.ĮDIT: To anyone running rubies/emeralds at 2k paragon on an int class, I’d recommend checking your build in d3planner with topazes vs. But at lower paragon, if you really want to sacrifice the damage from mainstat gems to gain some toughness, honestly amethysts make way more sense, ESPECIALLY on a wizard. If you’re 10k paragon and have like 10k vit or something, then yeah, I guess rubies start to make more sense. Maybe makes less sense on a WD or necro, but on a wizard with shields that scale based on HP? Amethysts make way more sense than rubies at 1500-3000 paragon. Especially since slotting 5 amethysts would give you more like 25-30% toughness (if you are around 5k vitality before gems). They will say they are ancient legendary items. That seems better than 13% toughness from rubies/emeralds to me.Īt 5000 paragon, when you are only getting 3% toughness and 4% dps from topazes, maybe the 13% toughness from rubies/emeralds makes a little more sense.Īt low paragon, I just don’t see the value. Normal-White items Blue-Magic Yellow-Legendary and Ancient legendary Red-Primal (only available after you reach level 70 GR solo) Ancient items are ones that need to be identified.

At 2000 paragon, you get something like 4-5% toughness and 7% dps from topazes.
