World of Warcraft Mists of Pandaria Remix is a temporary event within the WoW Dragonflight expansion that allows players to return to the old days of Pandaria by playing the content it offered again. However, some mechanics and elements of the game have changed slightly to adapt to the faster pace of the game and hero leveling.

One of the features of WoW MoP Remix is the ability to use gems that give your hero new abilities and stats that will help in different situations. That is why in this WoW MoP gem guide, we are going to take a look at the best universal gems that will suit you for different types of content.

WoW MoP Prismatic Gems

First of all, you should decide on the type of Prismatic gems. Each of them gives the hero a bonus to one of the attributes, improving the overall characteristics of the hero. It is difficult to give any universal advice on which gems will work best for you. It all depends on your character, class, build, and game type.

Gems of this type give you a bonus to one of the following characteristics: critical damage, haste, skill, versatility, vampirism, armour. So you need to choose the ones that best suit your character, enhancing their abilities or covering their weaknesses.

Here are examples of Prismatic gems:

• Masterful Amethyst — mastery;
• Versatile Diamond — versatility;
• Hungering Ruby — vampirism;
• Deadly Sapphire — critical strike;
• Stalwart Pearl — armour;
• Swift Opal — speed;
• Quick Topaz — haste;
• Sustaining Emerald — healing

Gems for completing quests

Each gem can be tailored to your needs for completing specific types of content. Completing quests, farming mobs, and just walking around Azeroth are the most common challenges that players face. In such situations, the most appropriate are those that improve your ability to deal more damage, increase mobility to escape or move around the location, and especially good are those that allow you to more easily deal with elite mobs without the need to cooperate with other players.

Among the Cogwheel Gems, it is worth paying attention to Trailblazer, which increases movement speed by 30% if the hero has not been attacked for 3 seconds. Combined with the innate invisibility ability, the hero will have good mobility, covering long distances or avoiding nearby threats that you don't want to fight. Alternatively, you can take the Vanish gem, which will be a lifesaver in dangerous situations when you need to avoid a crowd of enemies.

The meta gem can offer Thundering Orb, which turns the hero into a thunderbolt that deals natural damage to enemies within 30 yards for 4 seconds. Also, in the form of a sphere, the hero takes 50% less damage and gains resistance to control effects. When paired with Battle Horn, which can be purchased for bronze in the WoW MoP Remix, the player has the opportunity to collect packs of enemies and farm them with lightning strikes. If you don't have this gem, Oblivion Sphere and Lifestorm are alternatives that have somewhat similar WoW MoP Remix gem effects

WoW MoP tinker gems have more to offer, each of them balancing the defensive and offensive capabilities of the hero well. Slay is one of the best gems that allows you to instantly kill an enemy with less than 10% health. Brilliance increases your versatility by 5% and restores 2% of the class resource of the hero and allies in the vicinity.

If you want to deal chained AoE damage, Victory Fire is the way to go, as it restores health to you and your allies. If you just need a passive healing ability, the Vampiric Aura gem guarantees you 10% vampirism, which will be quite useful, especially for long battles.

Gems for farming mobs

The previously mentioned abilities for quests are also good for farming mobs, since in general terms, killing enemies and completing quests are closely related. But there are a few additional recommendations that can be made to maximise the process, making it easier and more enjoyable.

An important aspect of your options when fighting enemies is personal defence, so that you can withstand large groups or strong elite mobs. Frost Armour and Enkindle both offer you an ability that puts an absorption shield on the hero. The first one additionally imposes a freezing effect on enemies, slowing them down for a short time. The second one sets enemies on fire, causing them to suffer minor fire damage.

The Explosive Barrage and Meteor Storm gems allow you to deal instant and heavy damage to enemies, while stunning them for three seconds with the first ability. With Sunstrider's Flourish, you have a chance to deal additional damage from a burst of fire, which is a nice bonus, especially in battles with a pack of mobs.

Meta gems for farming mobs can be left the same as for completing quests. And among the Cogwheels, we can mention Dark Pact, which also provides additional protection by sacrificing 20% of your current health.

Gems for dungeons

For dungeons, the choice of gems is in some ways more interesting, as it is additionally aimed at group play. Like Prismatic gems, some of the improvements depend purely on the class, but there are several very useful choices here. For example, Strom Overload charges you with energy, so you can deal extra damage when the hero uses his class ability. And this gem performs well even among abilities with long recovery times.

Quick Strike allows melee abilities to deal an additional 4-7 attacks. The previously mentioned Brilliance is also relevant here, as it is a fairly significant buff to the class resource recovery for the group. Righteous Frenzy works well on healers, as the ability itself takes 1% of the health of allies, giving +7% haste. This way, healers can maintain the healing and speed of the group.

Under the influence of Mark of Arrogance, enemies who attack you will receive a negative effect that is repeatedly applied up to 5 times, dealing damage to them. Ankh of Reincarnation will restore you to life with 10% health in case of death.

For those who like fast raiding and greater mobility, the Gem with Blink ability will come in handy, teleporting you 20 yards in the direction of movement and can also free you from the effects of roots and stun.

Gems for raiding

The choice of gems can often be adapted depending on the raid bosses to make them easier to beat, for example by forming some combinations with allies or giving you critical damage or a chance to do it.

Several of the gems mentioned earlier, particularly for dungeons, are also suitable for raids, as the general specifics of their playthroughs are the same. The following abilities are worth mentioning again in this WoW MoP Remix gem list:

• Sunstrider's Flourish
• Righteous Frenzy
• Storm Overload
• Mark of Arrogance
• Blink
• Dark Pact

In addition, we can mention Lightning Rod. This ability allows your allies to deal critical damage for 10 seconds, and enemies will additionally suffer from natural damage every 2 seconds for 8 seconds. After the ability ends, the charge returns to you, granting you critical damage for 10 seconds.

Ward of Salvation is another ability from the gem that is perfect for healers. This ability allows you to place a ward that turns all healing that exceeds the maximum health threshold of the characters into an absorbing shield. As soon as the ability ends, it deals explosive holy damage. Heroes whose abilities depend on the main attributes will be well advised to take Funeral Pyre, which gives the main attribute for one minute. Every second, the hero receives a charge from Funeral Pyre, which deals fire damage.

The universal gem will be Spirit Walk, which cancels out all enemy negative effects that affect your movement speed, and in addition gives you +60% movement for 8 seconds.

Conclusion

Despite the fact that the list of gems is quite impressive, not all of them are universal or really useful in practice, but rather in certain situations. In this article, we've talked about the best gems of different types. These gems will suit most heroes in different situations, satisfying your needs for extra damage, protection, mobility, and group support if you play with other players or play through massive content.
