its hard enough to get ANY blue gems as it is. why nerf them?



I smashed 2 entire stacks of leystone, and one stack of felstone and didnt even get a damn blue!! now if i DO manage to get one...its barely an upgrade? wtf...



Its bad enough ore is so hard to get...

its bad enough gems are so rare from the already rare ore...

Now ya wanna make them weaker....



Bliz hates professions. its that simple...



Don't mass prospect.



Seems buggy.

Hey all,Just to clarify, we recently pushed a hotfix with the changes you are seeing, and this change will be noted in today's Hotfix Notes which will go live soon™.We made the decision to reduce the stats granted by Legion gems to the following:Thus far into Legion, gems have not been in the same place as they have been in previous expansions. They were a bit too powerful and this was not the intent, design-wise. We still see sockets as valuable, and they will continue to be so, but prior to this change there has been too much difference between a piece of gear having a socket vs. not having a socket.This change should address that.There is a known issue with mass prospecting that sometimes results in less gems than intended. A fix for this is in the works and will be pushed live when it's ready.
