I did exactly the same as you! I said I wasn't going to touch this, but then I ended up resetting everything recently, dropped to minimal damage and life and went for Armor Penetration, Armor, Potency, Resistance.
I’ve heard that the training dummies have 0 to all secondaries, so that all players gain bonuses, and minor differences compared to any remotely decent values will be negligible. I haven’t tested to confirm this, but you could try removing all your normal gems, or replacing your offensive ones with defensive ones. (Removing them would also remove the refinement bonus, but only gloves grant damage as their base attribute.)
I think everyone did the same thing, Me personally only have damage/Health things to rank 5 only and others for secondary stats. That is the smart move because we never have enough Armor/Armor pen , Ressistances.
That’s why I finally decided to do it. I noticed a lot of people had slightly higher secondaries than me, but lower rank normal gems. Gem upgrades are so slow when you are a low/mid spender, so I thought I’d give this a try.
@@TheOnlyRicia yeah, I mostly have rank 6 gems, to upgrade from 6 to 7 needed 486 gems + 7 echo crystals, from 7 to 8 1458 + 30 crystals, so it gets super crazy to get all 8 rank gems. Rank 9 4374 gems + 138 crystals i think and 10 13122 gems, so basically as low spender you can only hope for 7-8 rank normal gems at best.
My damage pretty much halved after the change to the paragon system last year. I made a video about it but it didn’t get seen by many. I feel like I’m constantly chasing a dream of high damage. Even with the spam builds I’m not hitting the same numbers as others. 💀
It wasn’t about being stubborn. It was about not feeling the need to change it originally as my damage output and secondaries were inline with others. However, more recently, many players have shifted their focus to secondary stats, and it’s easier/quicker to improve these through changing your Horadrim setup than through normal gem upgrades. 👌🏻
The higher what is? Damage? Or the % from legendary gems? Because this video showed that my damage increased from lowering my Damage stat and increasing Armour Pen. 😅

Did you see an improvement in your damage output?

I have all of mine at rank 7 and a few at rank 8, but that’s only because I haven’t sold any of my normal gems for at least a year. 💀
You are amazing I never knew I could do this! Haha I have 30 points in damage!
No worries! ✨
Does resistance help reduce or block crit damage or was it armor? I'm still a little bit confused
Resistance will help against DOTs/harmful effects like Burn, Bleed and Posion (Viper’s Bite, Angmets, Seeping Bile etc) - hope this helps! 🫶🏻
I always check or reset my horadrim when Im switching between Wiz and Crus every week
Oh wow really? 😅
@TheOnlyRicia High potency on Wiz cc for battlegrounds. And I switch Armor ArmorPen on Crus for fast kill warband raids 😭
Ahh fair enough, totally makes sense!
Rectify is of wise people. 😎
Armor + Pene + res/potency depending on build.. all other nodes are irrelevant.
Yep, after I filmed this, I lowered my life/damage nodes even further. 😅
I do everyday , miss beauty.😊
Something seems wrong. Did they nerf your dmg ? 😢

@TheOnlyRicia class balance is a complete whack right now 😔
The balance does not exist. 💀
Why wouldnt you? Being stubborn is unwise.

Looks like you got all the butts ;)
:) always
@@TheOnlyRicia sensational
Bruh…. Damage is absolutely useless. Don’t even put damage.
tbh damage is irrelevant, all your legendary gems are a % of your damage and the higher it is the more your legendary gems work

Armor pen is better because it buffs your critical strike damage to the roof
Damage matters in pve
@@pssa3215 Damage matters everywhere but Armor Pen is better.
@@lashaxoperia5917 lol couldnt be more wrong. Damage is useless in pvp because it is compressed. Are we playing the same game 😅 ?
