Gemming Question

[awebz]

I have Draconic Bonesplinter Legguards and Rock-Steady Treads with +8 agi and +6 agi bonuses respectively but both with blue socket. very tempting

Should I nightmear tear for the +8 bonus but just do delicate instead of the +6?

spec:MM

Never go for a socket bonus if the item has a blue socket unless you can use a nightmare tear. As for going for the leggings socket bonus it all depends on the rest of you gear. If you are gemming ArP and you aren't at the cap then stick the nightmare tear in your boots. If you can reach the ArP cap while using a 10agi/10crit gem and a nightmare tear in your leggings go for it.

Pretty much this, although thte 264 T10 Chest Bonus is +6 also. It would be better to take the Blue, where there is 2 sockets over 3 for better itemisation, but this is only if you are very picky about maximising dps
