[[File:Diamond-R19-flawless-royal.png|left]]Diamonds will be were introduced into Diablo: 3 in [[Reaper of SoulsLoot 2.0]].<ref>, when [[http://diabloDiablo 3 version 2]] launched in late February 2014.incgamers.com/blog/comments/judge-hypes-diablo-3-gamescom-interview-highlights Diamonds They are also found in [[RoSReaper of Souls]]] - Judge Hype Interview @ Gamescom, 28/08/13</ref> They will add the following bonuses but this could change before release.
The fifth type of gem in the game, Diamonds add new properties when socketed into weapons and armor. Other gems in the game are [[Amethyst]], [[Emerald]], and [[Ruby]]. See [[gems|the main gems article]] for full details about gem scarcity, upgrade recipes, strategy, and more.
Topaz Diamonds are one of the five types of most sought for their [[gemAll Resistance]]s found boost when socketed in Diablo III. The others are [[Amethyst]], [[Emerald]], [[Ruby]]armor, and [[Diamond]], the last added are especially popular for Hardcore characters. They also grant cooldown reduction in [[Patch 2.0.1]] and [[Reaper of Souls]]. See [[gems|helms (the main gems article]] for full details about only gem scarcity, upgrade recipes, strategy, in a helm that actively boosts damage output) and more+damage to Elites in weapons.
Topaz boost Intelligence when socketed in armor, add [[Thorns]] damage in weapons, and [[Magic Find]] in helms.
The Topaz has generally been the least popular gem, with the Thorns build far from viable at any time prior to Reaper of Souls. Magic Find from the helm had some popularity, and Wizards and Witch Doctors enjoyed topaz in their armor, though more in Softcore than Hardcore.  Topaz became more popular in Reaper of Souls with improvements to Thorns, as well as the greatly-increased mainstat bonuses from the higher level gems. With Flawless Royal gems yielding 280 to mainstat, Wiz/WD players found great damage benefit, plus INT's secondary property of adding 1 point of Resist All for every 10 points of INT gave high level Topaz a good defensive bonus as well, providing nearly half the value of a Diamond socketed in armor.    ==Topaz Diamond Stats==
