But when gemming, take into consideration what the bonus will be when gemming.Item Socket & Bonus Solution
1 x Red Socket, 1 x Blue Socket, +20 Intellect socket bonus We have two options:
* Option A: 2 x Brilliant Inferno Ruby = 80 Int
* Option B: 1 x Brilliant Inferno Ruby + 1 x Veiled Demonseye + Socket Bonus = 80 Int + 20 Hit
Conclusion: 80 Int + 20 Hit >>> 80 Int. For this item, we want the socket bonus and gem accordingly.
1 x Yellow socket, +10 Mastery socket bonus We have two options:
* Option A: 1 x Brilliant Inferno Ruby = 40 Int
* Option B: 1 x Potent Ember Topaz + Socket Bonus = 20 Int + 20 Crit + 10 Mastery
Conclusion: 40 Int >>> 20 Int + 20 Crit + 10 Mastery. For this item, we skip the socket bonus and gem for pure Int.
1 x Blue Socket, +30 Crit Socket Bonus We have two options:
* Option A: 1 x Brilliant Inferno Ruby = 40 Int
* Option B: 1 x Veiled Demonseye + Socket Bonus = 20 Int + 20 Hit + 30 Crit
Conclusion: 20 Int + 20 Hit + 30 Crit >> 40 Int. For this item, we want the socket bonus and use a blue gem.
