Everything about Legendary Gems in this two-part show. LGem basics, how they're found and upgraded, why they are so awesome, and then detailed discussion of the best builds, upgrade values, and uses for every gem. Featuring Katniss, Ynzerg, and Flux.
Due to the amount of content to cover, with 14 legendary gems, this show is split into two. Part Two runs covers the remaining 11 LGems and will be posted tomorrow.
Segment start times:
0:30 -- Intro and recent play stories. Katniss is over P400 in seasons, Ynzerg died horribly in HC this morning. Demon Hunter basic issues.
6:30 -- Katniss (Leviathon#1356) details his uber Templar, currently #14 HC Seasonal Grift ladder.

11:00 -- Fortune Shrines should pop a Treasure Goblin. And/or temporarily give the Boon of the Hoarder effect.
14:00 -- Legendary Gem basics. They're quite fast to upgrade now. Too easy now? Tinfoil theory that Grift guardians don't drop legendary items when you're clearing a Grift well below your best time.
22:00 -- Realm of Trials can be misleading; some builds are really good for waves of trash mobs, but will find much harder times within the Grift. Too hard to notice what # wave you've advanced to?
27:30 -- Bane of the Powerful discussion. Awesome LGem for overpowered character. Chain benefit from Elite to next Elite. Not so great if you're not a powerful character, or are pushing your upper level of content.
35:50 -- Bane of the Trapped. Awesome for some builds with cold or slowing effects. Level 25 makes it great for melee chars, especially Hardcore, but they might not want to use it until leveled to 25. Bugged now, not benefiting Sweeping Wind and Sunwuko's Set, because Blizzard hates Monks.
40:00 -- Boon of the Hoarder. Massive fortune from use, and so much fun. At rank 25 it's the best gem possible for rushing or gold farming against lower difficulty levels. It's so good it makes you *want* to do the Act 1 Spider Caves, because lots of small targets = massive riches.
