Legendary and normal gems

Legendary gems: Enforcer / Bane of the Trapped / Bane of the Powerful.

Normally use an Emerald in weapon sockets; choose the helm socket for cooldown or Life needs. Match armour sockets to missing main stat or toughness. Seasonal Soul Shards replace helm or weapon gems only in the explicitly identified seasons.

Stats, cooldowns and optimisation

Dexterity, Water and Mystic Ally damage; generator attack rate and CDR. Elite chains and safe refreshes matter more than long boss stacks for this farming role.

Complete the required legendary powers, correct runes and full set bonuses first. Cooldown reduction combines multiplicatively; do not simply add percentage rolls. Weigh a boss gem against a farming gem according to actual boss-fight length.

Rotation: preparation, damage, refresh

  1. Step 1

    Hit density with Hundred Fists to build Allies and Assimilation.

  2. Step 2

    Use Cyclone and Blinding Flash before the Ally activation window.

  3. Step 3

    Move with Dash, use Serenity before lethal hits and maintain Allies through attacks.

Patch boundaries and verifiable context

This is a complete editorial continuation using normal weapons. Season 25 has Soul Shards; Season 26 removes Lesser Gods’ extra Fire Ally bonus and improves Ally refresh through attacks.

Check before the next equipment change

Count set pieces before replacing a free armour slot. Equipping and cubing an identical legendary power does not double it. Solo Unity requires a follower wearing the other ring with immortality equipped.

This archive describes the period configuration. A current item database may show new numbers under the same name; those live tooltips do not prove historical multipliers. Old seasonal powers cannot be replayed on current non-seasonal characters.
