How do you plan on gemming next season?

[Ghalanah]

With S3 on the way how are you planning to gem your gear?

I was thinking about going

Helm
Meta: Relentless Earthstorm Diamond
Red: Shifting Shadowsong Amethyst
+5 Agility and +7 Stamina

Shoulders:
Yellow: Jagged Seaspray Emerald
+5 Critical Strike Rating and +7 Stamina
Red: Shifting Shadowsong Amethyst
+5 Agility and +7 Stamina

Neck:
Jagged Seaspray Emerald
+5 Critical Strike Rating and +7 Stamina

Chest:
Shifting Shadowsong Amethyst
+5 Agility and +7 Stamina
Shifting Shadowsong Amethyst
+5 Agility and +7 Stamina
Jagged Seaspray Emerald
+5 Critical Strike Rating and +7 Stamina

Wrists:
Jagged Seaspray Emerald
+5 Critical Strike Rating and +7 Stamina

Obviously this is a hybrid type build which includes a nice balance of crit and stam but puts lesser emphasis on AP. Combine that with most classes losing around 30 resil do to set bonus changes I think crit will be more popular next season.

I have gone close to this set up for the first 2 seasons and so far it has treated me well. I do want to improve my attack power/dps for next season however. Hybrid type gems seem to lose their appeal past 11k health and 350 resil.

Anyone have some suggestions? Balanced builds seem to work the best but my friend has been talking to me about the longterm effectiveness of ap stacking to counter resil.

I'm going with all +10 agility, and +10 crit rating gems, with the 12crit/5%snare resist meta.

I wasn't able to get everything i wanted but i got :

12 agi /3% crit damage
2x 10ap/7 stam
20 ap
10 ap/5 crit
10 resillience

those are the best i could get :(

[juventino_hero]

12 agi/3% crit
5 crit, 6 stam (neck)
4 agi, 6 stam (shoulder)
4 crit, 6 stam (shoulder)
20 AP (chest)
10 AP, 5 crit (chest)
10 crit (chest)
10 resilience (wrist)

And yeh, that should do me nicely :)

Same, except I'm going with the 12 agi/3% crit damage meta.

[Virous]

Helm: 12agi+3%crit damage meta, 8agi gem
Neck: 10 Resil
Shoulder: 8 agi, 4resil + 6stam
Chest : 8agix2, 4resil + 6stam
Wrist : 4resil+ 6 stam.

I figured it out >_>

I'll be doing the same as here. I think the agi meta will benefit more from my group's buffs.

I don't know why everyone thinks the crit damage meta is the best for arenas. Sure it helps punch through resilience, but doing enough damage has never been my problem in arenas. I prefer the extra survivability much more than slightly higher damage. Resisting a frost nova when a mage is trying to line up a shatter combo, or a hamstring as you're kiting a warrior, or any number of other possibilities is far more appealing to me than boosting crit damage. IMO it's far more valuable to boost non-crit damage which isn't affected by resilience whatsoever. Better to depend on doing good non-crit damage and let crits be a bonus, than to depend on crits for your damage and thus be weakened when bad luck prevents them.
