My gems are getting closer to lvl 20 so i've started to think about quality. Which gems do need quality 1st and which don't need at all? Is there any gems whose exp should be sacrificed for lvl 1 20q?

Also, what about Increased AoE? i've swapped it with Item Rarity a loong time ago and didn't noticed any changes. What is the point of this gem? Why is +40% aoe so important? Maybe use Slower Projectiles instead of it?
Please excuse me if this questions already was here - ive tried to use searching in this thread but it doesnt work at all. ggg fix pls

And the last but no least. Can you guys PLEASE (except Serleth ofc, ive read 1st post well and know that he doesnt answer about gearing) check out my gear and tell me, what should be changed first? Thank you!

^ forget about this one, im run out of chaoses now and will buy 2 damage mods when will get some currency

You are probably past this already, but I'm still going to reply in case someone else reads this for their own build.

There is no point in having a level 1 empower in your main link. All it is doing is adding a mana multiplier to your caustic arrow, and not helping in any way.

You would be better off using a "Slower Projectiles" gem in that slot for the extra damage until you get your Empower at least to level 2. Keep the empower in your offhand swap set in a Haku weapon in order to give it the quality bonus to level faster. Once it hits level 2, then feel free to swap it into your main set up.

What's the gem quality priority?

You might be talking about mine and Serlth's conversion where I was deciding what to put in my 6th link in Talisman league(I got lucky, I didn't go out of my way to 6L this set up)

There were a few options, but generally I would recommend:

Lesser Multiple Projectiles - helps a bit for huge packs, but overall it doesn't add much when you already are using GMP.

Faster Attacks - helps to get your Frenzy stacks up faster on a boss fight without adds.

Blind - I thought of this after, but it's like a free curse without using up a curse slot. Helps survivability. (I guess Flee would also offer some defense but probably not worth scaring enemies out of your caustic clouds).

Guys, I bought a 6L thicket bow and was able to roll a single affix of +2. I am not sure how to go about crafting it further. Should I Augment it or craft Cat. mod? If someone can assist with cheapest path to crafting : +3, DoT (LEO) & 2 resists

elreon would hit 8 either tonight or tomorrow but catrina is still in early stages of 7 & I do have Leo5.

I'll probably buy Catrina service but wanted to figure out the exact process before dumping any currency on it.
