Sapphire gems are almost entirely useless. I highly suggest a buff. If you had 3 of the top tier gem you would only gain 5% more healing power. Compare that to the loss of 16% haste for sacrificing haste rolls for sockets on 2 weapons. The gap between the comparison will only get worse when level 50 is released. As far as I know, there are not going to be more gem tiers in game, yet there is certain to be higher haste rolls on the level 50 dungeon weapons.

 

Furthermore, heroic and legendary weapons are difficult to come by, yet haste roll weapons are relatively easy. That makes running ASV and collecting remnants for crafted weapons a pointless endeavor, which in turn gives level 45 prophets nothing to do after they get their BT/RG robe completed.

 

I suggest that the top tier Sapphire gem should be around 20-25% of the healing power that a level 50 would have. My current healing power at 45 is 12330 with no Sapphires at all. I suspect a level 50, fully geared, would have about 14000 healing power. I would not trade 16-20% haste for anything less than 60% more healing power (combined with 3 top tier gems), considering the effort needed to get there.

update:

Basicly asking is change Sapper to % based

 

1% - 12%

 

Vs  Pure 900 heal power far to week % based might make healing bit op but bye to much considering meany other factor's limitaion of healing it it self.

 

dub check only add's 700 Pure Gem x3 2200 heal power realy is lack.

Or make the sapphires fit into other pieces of equipment as well. Now they can be socketed into weapons only. I am not willing to give up haste for healing power, even as a healer. And haste rolls only show up in weapons, so you either have to chose healing power or haste. I would like to have them both.

A minimum for sapphire to be actually usefull it would be a triple, about absolute sapphire is 426,  and to it to be usefull it would have to be 3 times that so 1278, the problem is at lower level with a absolute  sappire is a serious power up so i suggest changing sapphires to percentage of heal power.

i dont intend to do asv beacause slotted weapons for a healer is actually becoming weaker, haste is much more usefull overrall.

PLZ HCS do something aout this.

 

 

EDIT: healers should do an asv strike until hcs does something

I think saphs need a buff for sure, not something major, just something to make them worthwhile. I'm currently a healer/tank hybrid with stance/tremor/cry and ancesteral spirit/bene/dogma/deliverance
I have one socketed in my 1h (defined) and its semi-useful, buffed I can get a little over 8.5k healing power but for a pure healer build haste is so much more worthwhile

I am disappointed that this has gone unaddressed, when it's so important to keeping the game alive for level 45 players. If there is absolutely no reason for level 45 prophets, that have their robe set finished, to log on, then there is going to be no ASV, ARG, RG, BT runs for anyone else. That will lead to a general population loss for max level players.

 

Wouldn't keeping players playing be more important than another instance clone shoveled out for the masses to mindlessly consume?

[Susej]

HCS have you read this?

 

Could you reply sometimes just saying yes or no or maybe or we are too busy atm?

 

we sometimes are restless waiting for a response even if its a no its still an answer.

Hey guys, yup we have read this

 

Mojawk mentioned here http://forums.hunted...showtopic=64844 about these sort of suggestions, this almost certainly falls under the itemisation improvements we're planning to make in a future build. We definitely don't want to discourage healers

[HuMoR]

Thank you very much for that clarification,anxious to see what is done with these items in the future,although I must say I am surely focusing on sapphire changes and asv wep changes.

i would love to see this being worked on

So What does this mean -

 

1>The healing power bonus from sapphires will be increased .

 

2> Sapphires would be haste gems .

 

3> A new class of gem would be created for haste and a little tweak to sapphires in healing power .

 

4 > A new class of gem for haste + no changes to sapphires .

 

I would like to have it as 3 , but i probably think it will be 1/2 .
