-Legendary Gems (or LGems or LeGems) were added to [[Reaper of Souls]] in [[Patch 2.1]], after extensive testing on the [[PTR]]. There were initially 14 types of Legendary Gems, with 3 more added in Season Two. Legendary Gems have a function only when socketed in rings and amulets, and they are very powerful items, so that a socket in all 3 jewelry items is considered mandatory for [[end game]] gear. (The [[Gem of Ease]] is the only exception, and it can only be socketed into a weapon.)
+Legendary Gems (or LGems or LeGems) were added to [[Reaper of Souls]] in [[Patch 2.1]], after extensive testing on the [[PTR]]. There were initially 14 types of Legendary Gems, with more added each [[Season]]. Most Legendary Gems have a function only when socketed in rings and amulets, this makes rings and amulets with sockets highly sought.
 ==Rules of Drop and Use==
-Legendary Gems:
+All gems are dropped at rank 0 and must be socketed into a ring or amulet, making such rings and amulets valuable. Players can use the [[Mystic]] to add sockets to ring and amulets they like. Socketing and removing work the same as with normal Gems.

 The smite can hit virtually any enemy on the screen, making the "nearby" description fairly inaccurate.

 The damage boost calculates from the distance between the shooter (whether a character or a pet such as a [[Sentry]] or [[Hydra]]) and the target at the time the damage is dealt, thus an enemy who moves closer or further away after the projectile is fired can increase or decrease the damage.
