You Fail At Gemming If...

So with all the emails for, against, and I have no idea what they were talking about. I decided to do this weeks fail post about none other than gemming. Enjoy!

You Fail At Gemming If...

• You're putting green gems in epic gear
• You're plate dps using AP gems
• You are using the wrong meta
• You have a non-meta gem in your meta socket
• You're a JC and not using JC gems
• You're gemming hit when you are already way over the cap
• You're socket humping for stupid bonuses
• You're a Warrior using Haste gems
• You're a Shaman using Spirit gems
• You're a Druid using Intellect gems
• You're a DK using Agility Gems
• You're a Rogue using Strength gems
• You're a Hunter using Defence gems
• You're a Warlock using Stamina gems
• You're a Mage using mp5 gems
• You're a Pally using Spell Penetration gems
• You're a Priest Armor Penetration gems
• You're gemming for defence as a tank
• You gem so your gear looks pretty
• You don't have a belt buckle
• You have no idea what a prismatic gem is

and finally

• You think you have to match sockets

Keep sending in new macro requests. Also I know I am falling behind on emails so give me a few days before you send me a new one asking if I got the other one. The Gauss Nation is growing and I am trying to keep up with it. So I will eventually get to your mail. Enjoy your Free Loot Tuesday.

Socket Humping

Today is about something that drives me completely nuts. I refer to this as socket humping. First let's define this

Socket Humping: The act of matching all ones gems to their sockets as to get the socket bonus.

So to all you reading this saying "what is the problem with this?" I wish I could slap you. To all the people saying "don't you have to match sockets" you're an idiot, and I am sure to hear about you in tomorrows "Bagellord Moments" post.

Why is socket humping bad? This is like asking, Why is listening to your GPS bad? Why do you not wear socks with sandals? Why are ret pallys retarded? Why is having enough hit rating for a level 90 boss bad? Is 71 points in frost a bad thing? Now obviously you can answer all of these questions without a problem. Now let me make something clear if you happen to match a socket because your putting in the best suited gem for your class then that's fine. It really means that it is a "bonus". But if you are going out of your way to get that +4 int I just can't /facepalm at you enough.

Think of it this way. You get fries at a fast food place. The guy tells you they are good with ketchup on them. Are you going to put ketchup on them when you obviously came here because you wanted gravy?(This happened to me today why I am throwing it in) Of course not you idiot. So if a red gem is best and it is a blue socket do I dare say put the dam red gem in and screw the dam bonus.

So satisfy your meta then use the best gem available there are very few things that bug me more than this. Speaking of Metas I have actually seen people who have socket humped everything and in doing so didn't satisfy their meta. If their is a bigger idiot than this I really have no clue.

So that is my lesson in gemming. In conclusion socket humping is bad don't do it. You will thank me for looking less like a moron and your DPS, HPS, or TPS will thank me as well.

You have until tonight to get your "Bagellord Moment" submissions into me. As it will be tomorrow's topic. This seemed to be quite a popular topic this week so thank you in advance for all the submissions. This kinda says people know a lot of idiots I don't know to feel sorry for them or just laugh. Anyways, I enjoyed reading and laughing at them.
