BiS Gems ? (Mage + Hunter)

[RottenSkull]

Hello guys !

I'm doing a Mage and a Hunter lvl11. I don't know yet which one I'll like the most to play with.

Do you guys know what is the best Gem to use in sockets?

From what I see, every lvl11 char need 3 gems of ShadowLands right? idk why not 4 gems?

I know, few years ago, some Gems was showing like "+11 strength" but when we locked them into the sockets the bonus was actually only "+2 strength", does this problem still exist ? which gems are the best to use in the case of Mage and Hunter ?

Thanks <3

Midnight has changed https://www.wowhead.com/item=173126/straddling-jewel-doublet , so basically you use as many as you want till you're happy with your movement speed (You won't reach the 49% cap unless you proc speed on basically every piece of gear)

If you have https://www.wowhead.com/item=173125/revitalizing-jewel-doublet then you can use as many as it takes for you to be happy with the health recovery given to you.

The PvP +AGI and +INT gems now only give +3 instead of +4, but they're probably still the best ones to use (Except for Timewalking dungeons in where you want +2/2 secondary gems).

oh ok thank you ! I think i get it!

So every Gems works and will be "Nomalized" to +2/+2 except PVP which is +3 Agi and +3 Int ?
