It's not stupid at all. Different skills are assigned a different value, earplugs has a high value (for good reason). Armour has a tendency to have either many low level slots, or single high level slots. It adds a layer of depth to making builds.

Because earplugs had always been one of the best skill ever. So making it hard to stack is simply fair. Most people use earlplug charm III if you intend to stack it, since charm gives you 3 points of it you are basically saving 3 lv3 slots on gears. But of course again at the price of being unable to stack other good stuff via charms.

i just the bazel helm and coil to get rank 4 in it then use the bazels lv 3 slots to finish out the earplugs so i can save my charm for something else that i dont have the deco for

no i understand that. but im just saying, what is the point of making lvl 3 jewel, making it so rare, and yet perform the same as common ♥♥♥♥

That dinky lv1 attack gem you got is the rarest gem in the game.

500+ hours and i have 2 to my name

How can you get at level 5 earplugs then? And is that even worth it?

[Machiavelli]

Level three is the rarity tier 'supposedly' earplug is more than common.

In the end, jewels just gives you 1 point per unit.

Bazel coil or helm is good and you can mix that with a charm or decos. I find it worth it on some weapons. For instance greatsword you can finish your true charge a lot of times without being interrupted by a roar.

ya there are a few lv1 decos that are really powerful and some lv3 decos that are trash then there are some lv2s that are hands down best in slot like the sharp jewel for instance. the entire four piece odi set bonus in a single jewel

You do know that even having level 1 earplug is useful,right?

It let u recover as fast or slightly faster than certain bosses roar animation

Example
By using level 1 earplug
It let u recover as fast as Barroth roar animation

Without that level 1 earplug
U will recover slower than Barroth roar animation
Which give Barroth time to run u over.


Honestly,it up to how u interpret the game
Just play however u see fit

You got to look at it a little differently. A weakness exploit deco does a lot more than an attack deco. This is the point of the levels. To make it a bit more balanced when trying to add skills to your armor. If there were no restrictions everyone would be use every piece of equipment with 2+ slots on it. Later on like on console they will release new sets with different skill and deco slot configurations to allow for more variety with your builds. Its really not much different than the older games where decos used up different amounts of slots on your armor.

The only monsters that matter require lv4-5.

They don't do the same job, that's the point, the idea behind it is that certain skills are more valuable to have than others, hence they are higher level gems. Which is what was explained early, Earplugs for example is a very valuable skill to have, which is why it's a level 3 gem. So it's basically for balance: Better skills, higher level gems.

earplug belongs to level 3 gem skill. U need a level 3 slot. So to stack 2, u need to put 2 of them into 2 level 3 slots. Other than armor, weapon like Xeno long sword comes with 2 level 3 slots. So u can put 2 earplugs there or 2 handicraft gem. Yes handicraft is also level 3 gem...

Bosses like B52(Bazel) spam roars more often than others

Bosses like Nergigante will roar before using his ultimate moves(Dive bomb)

With lvl5 earplug
U get free hits on Bazel

Or
U can dodge Nergigante dive bomb,because u not affected by his roar
