Use gems to sharpen a plan
Gems are most valuable when they push a build's main win condition. A damage gem should help finish the target; a sustain gem should buy the reset; a control gem should make the next hit possible.
- Choose the build goal before choosing the gem.
- Compare upgrade cost with how often the effect matters.
- Keep a cheaper version for budget and learning runs.
Socket discipline
Do not fill every socket automatically. A gem that does not support the weapon's actual rotation adds complexity without adding a decision the player can use.
- Prioritize the slot that appears in every encounter.
- Match gem effects to affix priorities.
- Use the map and farming guides to plan the materials needed for the next upgrade.
