I just picked up a well rolled SoJ, with Crit, Int, and the wrong type of elemental damage (cold). So I could reroll the elemental damage to fire, which would be great, except that the ring then does not have a socket for a legendary gem.
So I am at a loss as to what attribute to reroll. At this point, I'm planning on rerolling the elemental damage to fire for now, and then replacing it with a legendary gem once I have another one at max level. I've read in other discussions here that any of the top legendary gems will be well over a 15 or 20% total damage increase at max level. Is this correct?
The SoJ is best in slot for most builds these days, are people just relying on rolling the correct elemental damage on their SoJ?
If you cannot obtain the above, then go for something like:
- Main stat
- Elite bonus
- CHC or CHD
- Socket
The socketed legendary gem will outweigh whatever stat you get. Even if you give up elemental bonus because in all likelihood, you'd be stacking the stat in multiple slots.
Elemental % damage is overrated as it stacks additively as opposed to multiplicatively - as a result you only really need one of it, which is easier to get on wrists. Most base stats are multiplicative, meaning the more and more crit chance or attack speed you get, the more all your other damage modifiers are strengthened. Unless you plan on going with a cold damage build, I'd reroll that for the socket; no point in having a dead stat.
Or just stash it and keep farming and gambling for another SoJ. Rerolling an elemental bonus to something else kinda kills the purpose of a SoJ. If you want socket so badly, just use some other ring temporarily (I'd use one of those with 5 primary stats), until you get a proper SoJ.
