PvP Meta Gems

[kindath]

Gathering some opinions, I see at least four strong contenders...

Agile Probably the strongest offensively
Powerful, I could see 10% less time stunned being the difference between life and death
Capacitive, I remember reading that it has a lower chance to proc against players, but the straight damage might still be worthwhile for dropping people.
Tyrannical, the obvious choice, but I haven't unlocked it yet.

...Destructive lulz dat chaos bolt reflect clearly BIS

How would you rank them?

#1 Tyrannical
#2 Agile
#3 Destructive
#4 Powerful


Don't even consider capacitive.

and the fact u cant put the capacitive in a pvp healm at this stage anyway due to the ilvl

You can actually in the T2. But that will soon change with 5.3.

The damage the legendary meta gem does is retarded, i would so use a 502+ pve helm to put it in.

Not if it's proc chance is lowered on players.

Aside from the fact that a little sustained damage isn't really what you look for in PvP.

the proc is pretty high on players.

PTR =/= Live. If it's still too powerful, it will get nerfed.

[roosty]

i didnt find it that often lus hits for like 10k or so which really isnt much imo

might have to try it out more and see

[Alahondor]

I will find you anywhere.

I'm pretty sure I have the gem. And I've played around with it on live. You can look at my armory if you want

If it's only 10k and no more often than once every 10 seconds it kind of doesn't weigh up against it's alternatives already.

[roosty]

only did one bg with it last night, ill try it out again and see if it gets any higher

I had a 60-80k crits with all my CD up in full pvp gear minus helm.

On well-geared pvp targets? i find that hard to believe.

You're the person i was looking for! i have a question about this meta:
About the proc: its a annoying RNG like; 1 minute of no proc and sometimes it procs almost every second or its a steady reliable proc chance? (pvp scenario)

I feel like rogues are more about being in control of the game and avoiding damage, so I don't like spell reflect or the stun reduction on a rogue. Agile all the way. That said I would use tyrannical over agile because it's only slightly less damage than an agile gem, plus 775 resil, which is a shitload.

I wouldn't be surprised if they took off the resilience and buff the power in 5.3 though. I hope they dont, but i'm afraid they will.

They're leaving in resilience gems so there would be no reason for them to do that.
