Legendary Gems will be added to Reaper of Souls in [[Patch 2.1]], and are currently undergoing testing on the [[PTR]]. The items add special bonuses when socketed in rings and amulets (only on Chars and not on Followers), and can be upgraded in power via [[Urshi]], the NPC who appears after [[Greater Rifts]] are cleared.
<ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/legendary-gems-ptr-placeholders Legendary Gem Updates] - John Yang, 15/07/2014</ref> The following are the most current details about Legendary Gems.
[[File:Legem-bane-of-the-powerful-icon.JPG|right]]
[[Bane of the Powerful]]
* Gain 30% increased damage for 20 seconds after killing an elite pack.
[[EnforcerFile:Legem-bane-of-the-trapped-icon.JPG|right]][[Bane of the Trapped]]* Increase the Critical Hit Chance of your pets damage against enemies under control-impairing effects by 20%.* Upgrade rank grants: +0.4% Critical Hit Chance. Max +20% upgrade (+405% total)damage.* Rank 50 unlocks: Your pets are unkillable.Bliz Note: As was discussed in another thread, allowing this this gem to rank up to +100Gain an aura that reduces the movement speed of enemies within 15 yards by 30% pet Crit would likely cause undesired gearing issues and probably be a little out of line.
[[Moratorium]]
* 30% of all damage taken is instead staggered and dealt to you over 3 seconds.
* Upgrade rank grants: +0.1 second to the stagger duration.
* Rank 50 unlocks: 10% chance on kill to clear all staggered damage.
[[Boon of the Hoarder]]
* 30% chance on killing an enemy to cause an explosion of gold.
* Upgrade rank grants: +1% chance on kill.
* Rank 50 unlocks: Gain 30% increased movement speed for 3 seconds after picking up gold.
[[Zei’s Stone of Vengeance]]
* Damage you deal is increased by 6% for every 10 yards between you and the enemy hit. Maximum 30% increase.
* Upgrade rank grants: +0.1% for every 10 yards (+0.5% to max).
* Rank 50 unlocks: 30% chance on hit to Stun the enemy for 1 second.
Bliz Note: The max of 50 yards was added not because it was too powerful (even though it was too powerful), but so that you wouldn't be incentivized to stay offscreen while your pets killed everything. At 50 yards, I expect you to be in range to actually still use your skills (crazy right?).
