Poll: Which gem is better?

    Primary 10 vs Secondary 35

    My guild is getting ready to start raiding and I have noticed that one of my members is using old gems. Particularly they are using primary +10 stats on their gems as opposed to the secondary +35 stat ones. So, I am wandering, what would you all view as being better. Gems that offering +10 in a primary stat or gems that offer +35 in a secondary stat.

    It depends on the stat weights for the class.

    35 secondary. There will never be a time when the strongest secondary is 3.5 weaker than a primary. (I think :P)

    True. Blizzard had our best interests at heart when it comes to WoD gems.

    Yeah, I was pretty sure that 10 of the primary shouldn't outweigh the secondary's nearly enough for the boost to be better with it giving only +10

    I could see +10 being worth looking into for some classes. For sub rogues, for example, it probably comes pretty close. I haven't checked that yet but I will after work.

    I can't really think of any other class where that would be as close, as AT MOST I would guess the primary to be x2 the highest secondary. Asking for >x3.5 would be a whole lot.
