Effect	Values	Rank 25 Bonus	Notes
Bane of the Powerful
Gain 20% increased damage for X seconds after killing an elite pack.	Starts at 25 and increases by 1 per rank	15% Increased Damage to Elites	One of the most popular gems, this grants a big damage buff, works with every type of build, and enjoys around 100% up-time in Rifts, where Elites abound.
Bane of the Trapped					Increase damage against enemies under control-impairing effects by X%	Starts at 15% and increases by 0.3% per rank	Gain an aura that reduces the movement speed of enemies within 15 yards by 30%.	The Aura at Rank 25 has no visual display, but it does proc the gem itself; so monsters near the hero are slowed and thus take increased damage.
Boon of the Hoarder					Needs Pic	X% chance to cause an explosion of gold when you kill an enemy	Starts at 25% and increases by 1.5% per rank	Gain 30% increased movement speed for 2 seconds after picking up gold.	The first time found (on an account) it will only drop from Greed, found in The Vault.
Enforcer						Increases the damage of your pets by X%	Starts at 15% and increases by 0.3% per rank	Your pets take 25% reduced damage.	The rank 25 bonus is irrelevant for pets that are not targeted and do not take damage, such as Hydras or Sentries.
Esoteric Alteration						X%}} non-Physical damage reduction	Starts at 10% and increases by 0.5% per rank	While below half Life, your resistances to Cold, Fire, Lightning, Poison, and Arcane are increased by 75%.	A very powerful defensive gem, added in Season Two.
Gem of Ease						Monster kills grant +X experience	Starts at 500 and increases by 50 per rank	Level requirement reduced to 1	Sockets into Weapons rather than jewelry. Useful for twinking
Gem of Efficacious Toxin						Poison all enemies hit for X% weapon damage over 10 seconds.	Starts at 1000% and increases by 50% per rank	A popular gem for big damage over time, but less useful for characters who kill enemies very quickly. One of the more powerul Rank 25 bonuses
Gogok of Swiftness						50% chance on hit to gain Swiftness, increasing your Attack Speed by X% for 4 seconds. This effect stacks up to 15 times.	Starts at 1% and increases by 1% per rank	Gain 1% Cooldown Reduction per stack of Swiftness	The Attack Speed increase is useful to some builds, but this gem is most valued for the massive CDR granted by the Rank 25 property.
Invigorating Gemstone						While under any control-impairing effects, reduce all damage taken by X%	Starts at 30% and increases by 0.4% per rank	Heal for 20% of maximum life when hit by a control-impairing effect.	As with the other original batch of defensive gems, this is one of the least-used gems.
Mirinae, Teardrop of the Starweaver						15% chance on hit to smite a nearby enemy for X% weapon damage as Holy.	Starts at 1000% and increases by 40% per rank	Smite a nearby enemy every 5 seconds	The smite can hit virtually any enemy on the screen, making the "nearby" description fairly inaccurate. On the whole this adds huge damage to individual targets, but not as much to large groups compared to other gems
Molten Wildebeest's Gizzard						Regenerate X Life per Second	Starts at 10000 and increases by 1000 per rank	After not taking damage for 4 seconds, gain an absorb shield for 200% of your total Life per Second.	Another powerful defensive gem added in Season Two. This gem synergizes very well with defensive buffs that prevent the character from taking damage, and the Rank 25 power can fuel itself, as the 200% absorb shield keeps the player from taking damage.
Moratorium						25% of all damage taken is instead staggered and dealt to you over X seconds.	Starts at 3 and increases by 0.1 per rank	10% chance on kill to clear all staggered damage.	Another of the initial batch of defensive gems that proved little-used.
Pain Enhancer						Critical hits cause the enemy to bleed for X% weapon damage as Physical over 3 seconds.	Starts at 500% and increases by 30% per rank	2% increased Attack Speed for each bleeding enemy within 20 yards.	Best used with character with high Crit chance and AOE attacks.
Simplicity’s Strength						Increase the damage of primary skills by X%	Starts at 25% and increases by 0.5% per rank	Primary skills heal you for 2% of maximum health on hit.	Probably the least used offensive gem from the initial batch, as primary skills are so weak compared to Spenders.
Taeguk						Gain 0.5% increased damage for 3 seconds after spending primary resource. This effect stacks up to X times	Starts at 20% and increases by 1 per rank	Gain 0.5% increased Armor for every stack.	This gem adds huge damage when fully stacked, but the stacks take quite a while to build up, and any lull of just 3 seconds resets them to zero. The Rank 25 property is a powerful defensive bonus, especially for melee characters who can keep it stacked and active.

Wreath of Lightning

• Base Effect: 15% chance on hit to gain a Wreath of Lightning, dealing 600% weapon damage as Lightning every second to nearby enemies. Lasts for 3 seconds.
• Upgrade rank grants: +10% weapon damage per second.
• Rank 25 unlocks: While under the effect of the Wreath of Lightning, gain 25% increased movement speed.

A mini-Conduit Pylon, this gem zaps all nearby enemies for considerable damage. Best used by melee builds or others in close proximity to lots of enemies (such as Whirlwind or Strafe), since the radius of effect of the lightning strikes is limited.

Zei’s Stone of Vengeance

• Base Effect: Damage you deal is increased by 4% for every 10 yards between you and the enemy hit. Maximum 20% increase at 50 yards.
• Upgrade rank grants: +0.05% for every 10 yards
• Rank 25 unlocks: 20% chance on hit to Stun the enemy for 1 second.

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.

The stats of Legendary Gems changed constantly while they were undergoing development on the PTR. A major revision was created on July 15, 2014 with new or upgraded stats for almost every gem.^[1] More changes came August 5th with a patch that changed the Enforcer gem, and completely reworked the upgrading system, changing legendary gems from 50 to 200 ranks. ^[2] Another patch later in August reduced the total ranks, removed multi-level upgrades, gave 3 chances to upgrade, and changed the secondary property to unlock at rank 25.
