@Ellistan
If you put a bold gem, you get +40 str. If you put in a hybrid gem, you lose 20 str and gain 20 of whatever second stat is on the gem. The reason behind the socket bonus is if you have +20 str bonus or more, that makes up the str loss from not using a pure gem, allowing you to put in a hybrid gem and gain 20 more of another stat of your choice.

Short version:
– not 20 str bonus, 40 str gem (no extra stat)
– 20 or more str bonus, 20/20 hybrid gem (20 extra points in the second stat PLUS more str if the bonus is more than 20)

@shandri
read my reply above. you can still stack bold gems if you so desire even if the socket bonus is 20, but if it’s more than 20, you will gain strength if you match sockets. if the bonus is 20 exactly, your strength will not change whether or not you match sockets, but if you use hybrid gems to match the sockets, you get 20 more of a stat per hybrid gem used to get the socket bonus.

Khor i have always stacked Strength gems no matter what the socket bonus is, should i change from this wen socket bonuses are +20str or above or jus leave all Str gems? Its pretty much always gonna b -20 Str for +20 mastery/crit and im unsure if this would really help our dps. Can u point me one way or the other pls 😀

Hello, love the site. It’s been a great resource for me to find information. But..

“The only reason to match a yellow or blue socket is if the socket bonus is +20 strength or more.”

I’m curious, what is the reason behind not matching sockets? If i put in a Bold Inferno Ruby i dont get the bonus anyway, right?

This is the suitable blog for anybody who needs to seek out out about this topic. You understand a lot its nearly arduous to argue with you (not that I really would need…HaHa). You definitely put a brand new spin on a topic thats been written about for years. Nice stuff, simply great!

Hey khor great site. But the thing is for the meta gem for cata the requirement “more blues than red” you said they would change that in cata, but they didn’t.are they gona change it or should i switch my meta gem to something different, or just try and put a bunch of blues in my gear?(which would prolly lower my dps by a bunch) LMK thanks

Hi,

[Chaotic Shadowspirit Diamond] needs more blue gems to work, so i think we have to use some [+20 Strength and +20 Hit Rating] or [+40 Hit Rating] so we can use this meta gem.:(

What are u geming?

Yeah I been looking and looking at metas and really not sure what to do….maybe the Etched wouldnt be too bad an idea, then can reforge the hit from some other piece of gear into haste or something….@_@

On second thought, perhaps Thunder Skyflare Diamond is better now.
