Thanks for testing this! One comment: the fact an r1 mourneskull doesn’t show up in the legendary gems section of the breakdown is not a bug. That only tracks the damage directly coming from the gem, which with mourneskull is only the vile spirits that haunt enemies. It does *not* reflect its impact on other sources of damage through buffs, so is not a meaningful indicator of a gem’s overall strength for dps. The fact your dps and total damage were higher with r1 mourneskull than r10 viper’s bite is, however, informative. Viper’s is a great gem, but mostly for farming and PvP. Pure dot gems don’t add much to single target dps. Mourneskull has a bigger range than I expected, though is still not ideal if you’re playing at max range with a ranged build (as tested by Apollyon), but may be great for the kinds of builds and play styles you tend to prefer. However, it’s stronger for burst than sustained dps, and according to Auroth, not ideal for raids (as you start most raids with only one target), but could be great for other types of content.
Yeah it does seem powerful but I’m still undecided on whether or not to use it. I’ll try to gain more copies during the event but I’m not upgrading it yet. I don’t really want another PVE gem, and for wizard, it feels like that’s what it would be. 🥲
@ imho good for burst for any melee to midranged combat in pve or PvP, when regularly facing 3+ opponents. So not as clear a “must have” gem as the high percentage made it look, since it also has a duration and cd. If you stack beneficial effects duration, you can get over 1/2 uptime on it, which makes it decent but not great for sustained damage in the above situations.
Can conquer the raid section iv a r5 mourn and on raids it seems ermmm. I'm unsure doing dps but the fervant seems better. But as for owf opan world fast movingulti targets I think it's good.
Interesting post thanks for sharing 🙌 it’s a hard call when we don’t know what’s going to happen long term with it, spending all those hard earned resources to then see it go will be heartbreaking 😮😢 on the positive side I’m hoping blizz gives it to us as a Christmas present 😂
If its limited to the event no f2p will be able to rank it to 10 (about 800 crests needed - i barely get around 30 crests a week x 4weeks event thats 120 maybe 150 - still a looooooong way from 800)
They’re looking into ways of obtaining it after the event but haven’t yet finalised anything. I personally feel that the reason this gem is hard to obtain/craft/is mainly limited to this event, is because it’s very, very strong for a 2* - it should have possibly been a 5 star, but of course, a lot of people don’t want to/cannot invest in another 5 star gem, but 2 star feels more accessible to a lot of players. Plus everyone got one for free from the event rewards, meaning all players have the opportunity to use it.
@@TheOnlyRicia if its time limited it wont feel more accessible- whole thing is kinda silly - sure i got 1 that i can try as auxillary but what do i replace ? mothers lament with rank 9 options? power&comand with rank 8 option ? for a 7% (max 14)dmg increase at rank 1 - no thank you
It depends on your situation, but I have a friend that is FTP and he had saved over 2K telluric fragments, so was able to craft a bunch of copies towards upgrading his free one. I guess we will have to see what state they have in store for it after the event, as of now, nothing is finalised for it.
I kept wolfheort and broke void spark for this gem on my tempest, i awakened it rank 5 and i saw bigger dmg on kikuras rapids solo doing in my work rather than rank 4 void spark, wolfheort is not replaceable if you are playing it especially with gloom cask
@@TheOnlyRicia I'm currently rank 6 and I'm using it instead of rank 5 wolfhoert because they said it's good for mid-range and long-range attacks.Even though it reduces my combat rating by 300 units
I think the only thing about testing it on dummy is you're only getting one target instead of the full potential from three targets, right? Looks like a solid gem.. just wish there were more slots so we didnt have to make these tough decisions! PS.. Have you tried Mao's unlimited power build for wizard? Thanks for the video!
Yeah it would be great if we had some way of actually tracking our DPS in ow to see the true potential with it. For now, a comparable test will have to do. If it’s the spam build then yes, I have tried it. But I only have mobile to play on, and without any kind of backbone so it’s pretty tricky to use. 😅 A lot of fun though!
f2p players who wishes to lvl this gem to rank 10 in future, forget it, unless u can get 3840 fragments b4 10 dec dolphin or + players, who wear 2 stars rank 10s for dps, if you dont have the fragments needed, would you burn your lego crests to farm a 2 stars gem or 8-10k plat / gem from market?
Even as a mid-spender I am still undecided on this gem. 🥲 Firstly I’d have to choose which gem to drop, and then work on upgrading it as fast as possible. For now, it’s a no from me.
If you’re measuring true DPS, then yes, but in comparative testing it gives you an idea of whether or not you’re getting more damage from one gem or another. 👍🏻
@@TheOnlyRiciaAs a spenders this gem wonnt help us in any content. In my opinion this was designed for f2p players only . Dhunters , bknights semi ranged builds and obviously melle classes in pvp. However everyone is trying to be tanky as much as possible nowadays to be able to push objectives/idol
Some of the old 5* gems definitely need a rework. There are many that are just not at all powerful and underperform when tested against 2 star gems which is just wild to me. 💀
It would be suck if thus event over and the gem remove from crafting considering the limited time event kinda short. Please tell Blizz go easy on us F2P please
@TheOnlyRicia My CR & power enough to kill monster in infer3 but the monster in real damnation in side quest can't killed it's nlike nerf this happen before the maintenance & I thought fr. Latest maintenance had benn already solved but still has bugs only in real damnation side quest
I’m sorry but This is not a good way to test a gem at all. First your just using the total damage of all your gems. You could have had gems like StarFire or Viper hitting with a lot more Crit hits on one of the attempts increasing a lot of the total damage but having nothing to do with the new gem. Also the biggest impact your going to get from the gem is the dmg boost to all sources after draining 3 souls which you cannot do here. & testing a max gem on a level one Aux gem imo is just pointless Sorry but this video was not helpful at all. There are much better ways to actually test the power of a gem
Ok 👍🏻 I did also test the *rank 10* gem as the *only* equipped gem but I guess you didn’t watch that part of the video? Rank 1 was Auxiliary because, as I explained in the video, rank 1 as the only gem equipped doesn’t register the damage coming from the gem as it’s actually boosting your overall damage. Others have also explained this in the comments. Test dummy is the only place in the whole game that gives you a breakdown of where your damage is coming from. So if you can suggest where else I could test gems, and show a comparison with a breakdown, that information would be welcome, as you said there are much better ways to do this?
One advantage of doing the test on the dummy is the ability to see how it might perform on a single boss or in PVP. In addition, if you can prove this particular gem is better than others even when it's not at its full potential, I'd say it's a win. Have you leveled it further? Now that the event is extended, I'm seriously looking into the investment using fragments
this video was recommended to me, and now i have a new D.I. creator to watch. Awesome! good breakdown vid btw.
Yay welcome to my channel! 🥳
@@TheOnlyRicia thanks! are you on Iceburn Tear server or The Keywardens server?
I’m on Archbishop Lazarus 💪🏼✨
I got this video recommend as a notification even though I didn't know about this channel, how amusing.

It will be interesting to see what the long term plans are with it, I guess only time will tell! 😬
Mine has reached rank 6 :') still a long way to go but yeah its a must have gem for f2p/mid spenders. one of the best DPS gem.
If its limited to the event no f2p will be able to rank it to 10 (about 800 crests needed - i barely get around 30 crests a week x 4weeks event thats 120 maybe 150 - still a looooooong way from 800)
Mine is still rank 1. 🤣💀 I have no gem power and want Void Spark 😝

Ty for the video
mournskull packs a huge punch for being a 2star gem, its amazing
For sure! 🥳✨
In your opinion, which gem is better, this gem or wulfheort gem?
Want me to test them against each other and make a short video for this?
Yes, test it pls
I kept wolfheort and broke void spark for this gem on my tempest, i awakened it rank 5 and i saw bigger dmg on kikuras rapids solo doing in my work rather than rank 4 void spark, wolfheort is not replaceable if you are playing it especially with gloom cask
@@TheOnlyRicia I'm currently rank 6 and I'm using it instead of rank 5 wolfhoert because they said it's good for mid-range and long-range attacks.Even though it reduces my combat rating by 300 units
This gem is a must for beginners & low to mid spenders . imo
I agree. And the fact that everyone gets a copy for free means that everyone can at least test it out for themselves! 🥳✨
I think the only thing about testing it on dummy is you're only getting one target instead of the full potential from three targets, right? Looks like a solid gem.. just wish there were more slots so we didnt have to make these tough decisions!

If you're a range class then it's no use unless you're using it for pve.
Yeah this is why I’ve not invested in it yet - I’d rather strengthen my PVP builds and secondaries for now.
f2p players who wishes to lvl this gem to rank 10 in future, forget it, unless u can get 3840 fragments b4 10 dec
dolphin or + players, who wear 2 stars rank 10s for dps, if you dont have the fragments needed, would you burn your lego crests to farm a 2 stars gem or 8-10k plat / gem from market?
Even as a mid-spender I am still undecided on this gem. 🥲 Firstly I’d have to choose which gem to drop, and then work on upgrading it as fast as possible. For now, it’s a no from me.
Thx for your video
Thank you! 🙏🏻✨
I used all my telluric frags for my Viper's Bite now at level 8. I wish I waited for this gem. 😬
I used most of mine up crafting random gems for gem power, for the additional gem resonance gem upgrades so I feel your pain. 🥲
Great gem but im straight ballin with 5 stars 😂😂 good review tho
Yeah if I replaced any gems it definitely would not be a 5* - I’m undecided for now.
I switch my Entropic world and vipers bite in other character with gem and tested it at R5 damage is definitely higher.
It seems like a strong option for sure! 💪🏼
Lol im not removing my 5 stars. I so need more gem slots lol
That’s how I feel too! 😭
@TheOnlyRicia eventually they should just open a slot for every gem to force us to get them all lok
🤣🤣🥳
It will works within 6 to 7 yards...if u go over 8 yards the gem doesnt work..i tested with my wiz in pvp...
Yeah I definitely wouldn’t use this in PvP unless I was playing a melee class. Keeping my DOT gems for PvP always! 💪🏼✨
@TheOnlyRicia yes..true..but viper bite is good in pvp...I use it along with sleeping bile and everlasting torment full dot build
I use Viper’s and Bile in PVP too. Great gems with Pain Clasp.
I feel all tests on dummy are invalid, until dummy has some armor and resistance it’s pointless
If you’re measuring true DPS, then yes, but in comparative testing it gives you an idea of whether or not you’re getting more damage from one gem or another. 👍🏻
For ranged clases its good only in pve. For pvp no because we wannt to keep a distance from barbs ,crusader...
I agree. I’m undecided on whether or not I will use this gem, so I’ve not yet upgraded mine.
@@TheOnlyRiciaAs a spenders this gem wonnt help us in any content. In my opinion this was designed for f2p players only . Dhunters , bknights semi ranged builds and obviously melle classes in pvp. However everyone is trying to be tanky as much as possible nowadays to be able to push objectives/idol
I feel sorry for the old gems when they release new ones. 😅
Some of the old 5* gems definitely need a rework. There are many that are just not at all powerful and underperform when tested against 2 star gems which is just wild to me. 💀
@ Yeah some of my 5 star I want to replace but they are like rank 6 so… 😢🤣
There’s a lot of upgrade material in that though! 😅
@ Thank you for giving me a band-aid on my broken leg… 😝 I wonder how many Leg gems it takes to get to rank 5/6?
Too many. 😅
It would be suck if thus event over and the gem remove from crafting considering the limited time event kinda short.
Please tell Blizz go easy on us F2P please
All I know right now is that they’re looking into options for after the event. 🙏🏻
Rank 7 here, outperforms Mother Lament rank 10
Nice! 💪🏼 Hope you’re having fun with it!
I'm from Philippines 😊 like ur blog & beauty😅
Thank you 🙏🏻
So annoying side quest in realm damnation still monster can't killed😤
Which side quest? Have you tried lowering the difficulty to kill it?
@TheOnlyRicia My CR & power enough to kill monster in infer3 but the monster in real damnation in side quest can't killed it's nlike nerf this happen before the maintenance & I thought fr. Latest maintenance had benn already solved but still has bugs only in real damnation side quest
with high potency this and wolfheort, sipp, viprrs and roiling 😂 everybody is dead with 4 grace
🤭
Not worth it. Happy ? 😅
I’m happy for everyone to have their opinion on it! It would be boring if we all were the same. :)

Ok 👍🏻
I did also test the *rank 10* gem as the *only* equipped gem but I guess you didn’t watch that part of the video?
