Season 3 / Maces Gemming

[chicosr]

With season 3 approaching and also a new spec for S3. Should I spec for more DPS gems since I will be going combat maces or hemo maces. Or should I still go for stam?

[Gabel]

Stam is so s1.

On a more serious note, I firmly believe that offensive gems is the way to go, seeing how we - rogues - basically want to burst down our targets while we still have cooldowns. You shouldn't be aiming for a long fight by stacking stamina and maxing out resilience, but instead you should go for attack power. Lots of attack power.

[Insight]

This is my plan for rogue (0/31/30):

head - 18 sta/5%stun, 10ap 6 sta(unique)
neck - 10 res(unique)
shoulder - 20 ap(unique), 8 ap 4 crit
chest - 8 ap 6 sta, 8 ap 6 sta, 10 ap 5 crit(unique) / 15 resil enchant
bracer - 10 crit(unique) / 24 ap enchant
15 agi on gloves, 50ap/12crit pants, boar speed boots

I'm maybe too crithorny, could swich 10 crit gem for ap/crit but I like extra stat or two I can get from unique gem.

I plan on going resilience gems in yellow slots and ap gems in red slots. I'll probably have to make 3 of those into red/blue or yellow/blue since I still plan on getting the 18 stam/5% stun resist meta. For those, I'll get balanced nightseye and steady talasite.

[Cramerr]

I'm gonna get the 24AP/5% stun resist meta =)

Definitely gemming AP mostly in s3 (probably less AP/stam gems than I currently have and more straight AP)

[MentalPROblem]

Damn this. Watched all of the gem/enchants charts for 2hrs until my eyes started bleeding -.- Still haven't decided on a couple of things.
btw this site might help some of you to decide what gems to take:

http://shadowpanther.net is the home page, there are a lot of charts there, though I suppose most rogues know about that xD

[Teirisias]

I'm planning on going AP in red slots and hit in yellow slots.

[Gabel]

I'm gonna get the 24AP/5% stun resist meta =)



I was going for the same untill I realized the requirement is more blue gems than red, which is a nono as I'm gemming for max offensive.

It's more blue than yellow, which still may be difficult depending on how you gem, I'll be using crit/stam for yellow, all AP for red except 1 AP/stam to give me 1 more blue than yellow =)

[nodutch595]

def gemming AP for red RES for yellow, not sure about the meta gem tho.

[brron]

definitely going 16AP in all reds and 4res/6sta in all yellows.
18sta/5% in meta.

it itches my eye when one of my socket bonus doesn't work
