Topaz are one of the five types of [[gem]]s found in Diablo III.  The others are [[Amethyst]], [[Emerald]], [[Ruby]], and [[Diamond]], the last added in [[Patch 2.0.1]] and [[Reaper of Souls]].  See [[gems|the main gems article]] for full details about gem scarcity, upgrade recipes, strategy, and more.
  
==History of Diamonds in Diablo==
+
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.

Revision as of 12:31, 6 March 2014

Diamonds will be introduced into Diablo: Reaper of Souls.[1] They will add the following bonuses but this could change before release.


Topaz are one of the five types of gems found in Diablo III. The others are Amethyst, Emerald, Ruby, and Diamond, the last added in Patch 2.0.1 and Reaper of Souls. See the main gems article for full details about gem scarcity, upgrade recipes, strategy, and more.

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.
