I'm trying to figure out if I should be gemming specifically for haste like I have been, or be gemming for strength gems and use hybrids just for certain bonuses.
Sim it... When I was 2h with an ilvl around 496 the difference was minimal. It comes down to:
1.) Would you prefer to do slightly higher patchwerk damage? Gem haste
2.) Would you prefer to do slightly higher damage on light-heavy movement fights? Gem STR
In either case the DPS difference is minimal, am talking like 109000 vs 108500 so it kinda just comes down to whether you prefer the faster playstyle/less downtime that more haste brings.
I preferred hybrid STR gems as 2h anyway, just my opinion
