Now that our pets benefit from crit hit damage, will this make emeralds the way to go for pet builds?
I just seem to find people still recommend rubies, however I'm not sure if they're aware of the change, it wasn't initially listed in patch notes and was only later confirmed.
I see that my fetishes crit for roughly another million when I switch to a crit damage gem.
I'm only new to witch doctors so any more experienced players input would be appreciated.
I swapped my gem from ruby->emerald and I have not done any serious testing, but it feels like my DPS is a lot higher. My gear is not even close to end-gamish but my fetishes crits for about 6mil with no buffs on them.
I also changed my paragon points from attack speed to CHD and CHC.
Its not worth it to use any other gem, they don't even compare. (if you have 40%+ crit chance atleast.)
I would love for diamonds and ruby's to be able to compete and its kinda sad that they aren't. and probably never will as they have done a retarded job with itemization
Once we have a proper sites liek d3rawrr or d3up working again i will try to build myself a non CHC non CHD build. but untill then i will just get as much of it as i can for everything.

rubies have their use as a leveling gem. You will breeze through low levels with a flawless royal in a socketed weapon as it pushes your damage through the roof. But once your crit gets up to par, it looses power rapidly.
Yep, as I expected. Crit damage has always brokenly been the go-to gem for weapons. Only real exceptions exist as low level levelling with the ruby and then I'm not sure on this, but perhaps the topaz with the thorns set may see some use. I don't know anything about the thorns set though and that's off-topic anyway.
