In this segment of the video, the creator discusses the top five legendary gems in Diablo 3. At number five is Bane of the Stricken, which increases damage on a single target with successive attacks, important for high Greater Rifts but limited in usefulness elsewhere. At number four is Taeguk, which stacks up to 10 times, increasing damage and armor per stack, ideal for channeling builds. The gem was adjusted in patch 2.4.1 to only work with channeling skills, making it more balanced and appropriate for a variety of builds.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses two important gems within the game. The first gem highlighted is Zaystone of Vengeance, which is often underrated due to misunderstanding its mechanics. It is clarified that the gem rounds up to the closest 10-yard increment for damage bonus, maxing out at 40 yards. The gem can enhance damage dealing, with a 20% chance to stun on hit. The gem’s distance-based damage bonus is calculated based on the player’s distance from the target, not the pet’s distance. The second gem mentioned is Legacy of Dreams, crucial for non-set-based builds like the Wave of Light Monk build in Season 27. This gem allows for the use of set items without benefiting from set bonuses, making it versatile but dependent on having all ancient gear for full effectiveness. Starting with a set-based build before transitioning to a Legacy of Dreams build is recommended for optimal performance and viability across various builds.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the best gem in the game, the “Bane of the Trapped.” This gem provides a significant damage bonus to your character and is widely used in damage builds. It automatically activates a crowd control effect, slowing enemies within a 15-yard aura. However, it won’t work on monsters with the Juggernaut affix. The gem’s damage bonus requires applying a crowd control effect first. The speaker recommends using this gem for most damage-dealing characters and asks viewers to share their top 5 gems in Diablo 3. The video teases a future segment on the top 5 worst legendary gems.
