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.

* Upgrade rank grants: +10% weapon damage over 3 seconds.

[[Invigorating Gemstone]]
* While under any control-impairing effects, reduce all damage taken by 30%.

[[File:Legem-taeguk-icon.jpg|right]]
[[Taeguk]]
* Gain 1% increased damage for 4 seconds after spending primary resource. This effect stacks up to 10 times. Gaining a stack refreshes all existing stacks.
* Rank 50 unlocks: Gain 1% increased Armor for every stack.
Bliz Note: This buff duration on this gem was chosen so that it’s easier to keep up with cheap spenders and not trivial with expensive spenders.
[[File:Legem-wreath-of-lightning-icon.jpg|right]]
[[Wreath of Lightning]]
* 15% chance on hit to gain a Wreath of Lightning, dealing 500% weapon damage as Lightning every second to 1-2 nearby enemies for 3 seconds.
* Upgrade rank grants: +10% weapon damage per second.
* Rank 50 unlocks: While under the effect of the Wreath of Lightning, gain 25% increased movement speed.
[[File:Legem-zeis-stone-of-vengeance-icon.jpg|right]]
[[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?).
