We can mostly agree that the balance following Patch 0.3.0 is not in a good spot. One of the largest contributing factors is the insane gem levels found on gear and needs to be toned way down. Another unfortunate side effect of gear having insane gem levels is it invalidates the vast majority of uniques and also makes crafting one-dimensional as items without gem levels is mostly invalidated. This nerf tones down the baseline power of players, which is healthy for the game as it lacks challenge. With that said, I urge GGG to nerf max gem levels found on gear as follows:

* 2H-Mace, Crossbow, Staff, QStaff: Decrease to +5 Max Gem Levels (down from +7)
* 1H-Mace, Bow, Wand: Decrease to +3 Max Gem Levels (down from +5)
* Amulet: Decrease to +2 Max Gem Levels (down from +3)
* Quiver: Decrease to +1 Max Gem Levels (down from +2)
* Gloves: Decrease to +1 Max Gem Levels (down from +2)

What if they keep amulets, quivers and gloves as is but change the rest like you suggested? +skill ranks is one of my favorite mods 😭

Skill levels are what make the game zero challenge. In POE 1 there is no more than +2 except on bows (+3) for weapons, and +2 on amulet. That's a +1 all, +1 Elemental

That's it...

We don't need level 30 gems

To me this barely changes anything, + skills will still be the most sought-after mod for most builds
