Jewels vs. Gems

[Donquixoth]

Once jewels are introduced, you won't be able to upgrade gear with gems. So any remaining para gems will be useless.

If these jewel stats are final, I'll be quite disappointed. Damage and crit gems will be worthless.

EDIT:

I'm incorrect. Gems will still be able to be socketed. Just not crafted. Pretty silly if you ask me.

Yah, it is about limited gems that OP than all normal gem. well it seems still OP than jewel.

I totally agree with the original post... If jewels are replacing gems then all jewels should offer advantages over their gem counter parts otherwise what is the point of introducing the new item. Its just the same as if the new mytic set had worse stats than imbued gear... It would be counter productive and not encourage progress. An expansion by nature should broaden not narrow the playing field.

These jewels should make us want to get rid of our gems and work towards fully jewelling our items.
