Edit edit: Now, requires at least 3 red gems. 3 new meta gem cuts have been added and the patterns are world drops.
Agile Shadowspirit for the agility classes
Burning Shadowspirit for the caster DPS classes
Reverberating Shadowspirit for the strength classes
As these are world drops, expect to pay an extremely high price for them unless you have a friend or guild member to do it for you.

more blues than reds now?

that means as dps, you'll have to use all purple gems and one green. that's a lot of hit gems

It seems item lvl 346/359 pre-raid gear will have 9 or 10 sockets and the gear set I picked for my warlock has 4 x blue, 2 x yellow, 3 x red and 1 x prismatic socket. If you socket +40 int gems in all three red + prismatic sockets, +20 haste +20 hit gems in two yellow sockets, +40 hit gems in three blue sockets and one +20 int +20 hit gem in the last blue socket, you'll get the meta socket bonus. Compared to more optimal gemming, you'll lose 100 int and gain 100 hit.

And if you compare these results to Ember Shadowspirit Diamond, we have 154 int and +2% max mana (ESD) vs. 54 crit 100 hit +3% crit damage (CSD).

This meta gem will return to it's WotLK version of "Need At Least 2 Blue Gems" , making it again the favored dps meta-gem in the game for the next two years "soon".
Some specs may or may not prefer the Ember Shadowspirit gem since mana is limited and Intellect is a far better stat.

For historical purpose in the future: This meta-gem during the Cataclysm beta changed from "At Least 2 Blue" to "More Blue than Yellow" and all the way to the painfully restricting "More Blue than Red", which made it, for a period of time, a very very bad metagem.

The "needs more blue then red" simply makes this useless to me. The worst part is, it was the only meta I really needed. Great! another nerf for anyone who stacks agi.

Purple gems don't work if your wondering, get those +40 hit for physical dps classes

Destructive Shadowspirit Diamond is a great substitute for now until this meta's requirements get changed back

The Shadow Priest community disagrees with Mastery.

As do the Thunder Turkeys. Crit and haste affect all of a Druid's rotation. Mastery only affects at best half of it.

As a hunter this is a terrible gem. I mean, it's good, but compared to a relentless this definitely a poor man's version. The crit is very viable, yes, but the agility has so much better itemization for hunters, shamans, rogues and druids since it also adds the dodge and atk power. I do so miss my Relentless, but I hope that perhaps more metas will come out with epic gem cuts. That is if there are going to be any epic gem cuts.

on the 4.0.6 ptr the meta gem requirement has been changed. it is now 3 red gems.

from 4.0.6 patch notes

Meta gems with the Chaotic and Relentless prefixes now have a requirement of 3 red gems.

Nope Epicskillz, not 2 blues. Zarhym stated:

The note hasn't been added yet, but we haven't forgotten. Here's what you're likely to see in the patch notes:

* Meta gems with the Chaotic and Relentless prefixes now have a requirement of 3 red gems.

* Added new meta gems: Agile Shadowspirit Diamond (Agility/3% critical damage), Reverberating Shadowspirit Diamond (Strength/3% critical damage), and Burning Shadowspirit Diamond (Intellect/3% critical damage). These new recipes are unbound and can drop from any Cataclysm creature. The new meta gems have a requirement of 3 red gems equipped.

Well they changeing back to need red gems instead of blue... which for the second time makes it go grey for me. thank you blizzard for changeing all the time

Comentado por 216274

Even though this meta is changing to require 3 red gems instead of more blue gems than red gems, this one won't become the most used gem.
The reason is, along with the change, patch 4.0.6 will add new meta gems that gives 3% increased critical damage and a Strength/Agility/Intellect, one for each stat.

I have the mats and the pattern, why can I not make this?

Comentado por ne14fuun

This may be a stupid question. When it changes to 3 red. Is that any combination of red? Meaning purple, orange, and red?

Comentado por 54211

Yes

Comentado por 725107

Yay! Thanks Blizz, can't wait to completely re-gem.... again....

Comentado por 779302

I'm don't understand what exactly is meant here. By "blue" and "red" gems, do they mean the actual color of said gems, or whether or not these gems belong under the "blue socket" category, "red socket" category, etc...

My character doesn't get the stat boosts it should from this CSD, despite having all the blue sockets of my equips filled with gems that apparently count as "blue gems". They're purple actually, but they still seem to count as blue. In total, my character has 3 blue gems socketed into items and 2 red ones. However, the CSD still doesn't "activate".

Does anyone know what's wrong? Do the gems I have to use actually be blue?

As of patch notes from 4.0.6 this gem now requires 3 red gems instead of more blue than red gems.
I believe this is BiS meta for melee DPS, since strenght and agility gems are red which makes it very easy to scale with gear :)

Edit: yeah, thank you Falcizzle, this meta is actually not the BiS now.

With the new addition of primary-statistic meta gems, this gem has been left in the dirt.

Even though the new requirement of "3 Red gems"makes this meta a better choice for a physical DPS than the Fleet Shadowspirit Diamond, it still pales in comparison to a primary-stat meta in almost all situations.

Here are the new meta gems available in 4.0.6:

Agile Shadowspirit Diamond - 54 Agility, 3% Critical Damage
Reverberating Shadowspirit Diamond - 54 Strength, 3% Critical Damage
Burning Shadowspirit Diamond - 54 Intellect, 3% Critical Damage

Considering the run-speed bonus and its use in PvP, more analysis is necessary to see which meta gem / boot enchant combo will be most lethal in the arena:

Here are the boot enchants available in Cataclysm:

Enchant Boots - Earthen Vitality - 30 Stamina, minor run speed increase
Enchant Boots - Haste - 50 Haste Rating
Enchant Boots - Major Agility - 35 Agility
Enchant Boots - Precision - 50 Hit Rating
Enchant Boots - Mastery - 50 Mastery Rating
Enchant Boots - Lavawalker - 35 Mastery Rating, minor run speed increase
Enchant Boots - Assassin's Step - 25 Agility, minor run speed increase

The meta gems we have available are

Fleet Shadowspirit Diamond - 54 Mastery Rating, run speed increase
Chaotic Shadowspirit Diamond - 54 Critical Strike rating, 3% increased Critical Damage
Agile Shadowspirit Diamond - 54 Agility, 3% Critical Damage
Reverberating Shadowspirit Diamond - 54 Strength, 3% Critical Damage
Burning Shadowspirit Diamond - 54 Intellect, 3% Critical Damage

Assuming that the minor run speed bonus is required in the combination, we have the following suggestions:

Agility-based classes may wish to use one of these options for boot enchant and meta gem respectively:

Option 1: 35 Agility, 54 Mastery Rating + minor run speed
Option 2: 25 Agility + minor run speed, 54 Critical Strike Rating, 3% Critical Damage
Option 3: 25 Agility + minor run speed, 54 Agility, 3% Critical Damage

Other classes, such as Strength-based classes, may wish to use one of these options:

Option 1: 50 Mastery Rating, 54 Mastery Rating + minor run speed
Option 2: 35 Mastery Rating + minor run speed, 54 Critical Strike Rating, 3% Critical Damage
Option 3: 35 Mastery Rating + minor run speed, 54 Strength, 3% Critical Damage

In both situations, the combination with the Chaotic Shadowspirit Diamond is better than a Fleet Shadowspirit Diamond, but still an inferior choice compared to the new world-drop cuts.

While the Hit Rating or Haste Rating to boots may benefit an individual in a unique situation, I am under the impression that most physical DPS wishing to gear up for PvP will be going for a run speed enchant on their boots and using their stat-specific meta gems instead of a Fleet Shadowspirit Diamond or a Chaotic Shadowspirit Diamond.

In conclusion, the new requirements make this gem nonviable in all aspects of the game if you play a physical DPS class, and it will become inferior from here on out in Cataclysm unless changed...

(Unless you're stacking Mastery Rating over a primary statistic...)

so can lvl 70s use this meta?

Comentado por LilGazzi

Question, nowhere on this item does it say it requires level 285 helms or higher to be equipped... Does this mean I can use it in a level 62 eng goggles? Please post back. :3

Comentado por 770621

On PTR they have changed the tooltip to say " increased critical effect" when it used to say "critical damage" so I was just wondering why did they change that? Does this affect the gameplay somehow?

Comentado por 265062

On the PTR I switched to this meta as a Disc Priest and socketed almost purely red gems. This change allows for heals to get the crit bonus and it only requires red gems.
