JMoD socketing poll

A question for the community, that's as vain as they can possibly be, regarding Jeweller's

Monarch of Deflecting.

I have orange and White lightning facets.

What would you choose, or what do you think would look the most pretty?

AA
AA

AB
BA

Death? Level-up? Two of each?

EDIT: I took out the "Rainbow!" answer from the poll because, while legitimate answer, it also says "I don't care" and is not a valid answer for what I need to get from the poll. My mistake.

I both love and hate how this actually made me think and feels like a perfectly valid concern.

That having been said, 4x White, obviously. And more likely than not, 2x Death, 2x lvl up.

Quite the hypothetical question, but I'd put red and/or blue ones, to make it more medieval; all Death ofc

Well crap. I voted Rainbow!

How would you feel about this? Orange on gold and White on White. Or maybe color-swapped? So many possibilities.

And a small piece of experience I have from trading for facets - if you are looking for specific color, just offer on everything, buy every single one.
Take the color you want and pass the other facets along. Next to noone will be interested in swapping colors, even with a profit in a form of extra rune on top, let's say

Ist.

"What does it matter? You *medical condition* *swearword*?"
"But I want to sell mine. Why would I want another?" (that's with extra on top)
"If you want another color, then it will be much more expensive than the *extra offered*."

are just a couple of many responses.

Nice, but would probably have made it with inverted colors (but take care in what order jewels get positioned). In heraldry the items put on a given background are pretty much always with a contrasting color, and

Monarch definitely is fine with its aspect for that.

Finally, if you want to push the thing further, if you go 2 Death 2 Level-up, try to get 4 different jewels (Death + orange, Death + White, Level-up+orange, Level-up + White).

But well, that's "just" style points.

You can no longer tell which one is which after they are inside and noone will ever know, if it was level whites and orange deaths or one of each. Makes the trading a tiny bit easier

Will take the contrasting background into account. Hmm...

I also liked orange on gold and white on white, but the contrasting background merits some consideration. I think I prefer the former though because the contrasting scheme looks cluttered with the jewels taking up a lot of space in the foreground that the background contrast isn't quite as apparent.

I never would have thought of this myself. I would have only sought to avoid an AABC scenario (four jewels in three colors), but now I know I'd want to be even more selective.

Damn the level‘s of the Spells do really stack

They do not. That screenshot is (presumably) from maxroll which incorrectly shows stacking levels.
Multiple facets result in the odds stacking, not the levels. I.e. 200% chance to cast upon Death.

If the levels actually stacked, the original Death vs. lvl question wouldn't really apply as you'd then obviously always go for quad-Death solely for functional reasons.

...what he said.

There wouldn't be a poll, if that was a thing. I was joking with Deiphos through PMs that it would be pretty funny to do PvP with lv188

Chain Lightning upon Death. Heads, I win. Tails, you lose.

funny in HC PVP

Too many yellow from

Monarch and the cover of jewels.
I would pick other colour.

… yepp and after I thought we agreed they DON‘T stack I see that picture and am completely confused

SC or HC? This is important for choosing between death and level up.
And speaking of colour, I'd choose one matching the Facet's element (light -

Topaz, cold -

Sapphire, poison -

Emerald, fire -

Ruby)

For the prettiness of it, and about contrasting colors, red will indeed go very well on the White background, while blue would look great on the gold-ish background.

Would perhaps go blue red after all

For no reason peach or White jewels if its 15/40s would make the jmod loose 1-2k fg in value, whilst clean red green or blue would raise it’s value by 2k ^^

Peach are the least wanted, no idea when it comes to facets on jmods but for cold sorc on 100 20/20 red is the way to go also, atleast in the PvP community

@naitsirk
I appreciate the input but this particular JMoD is not appearing anywhere near the Voldemort site, so I don't care about losing these here FGs.

Thanks for the "cold sorc wants red" information. This is, however, also the first time I see a mention of cold sorc running with a faceted JMoD, so I'll take that with a grain of salt. But who knows, PvP is weird.

Max block and 4sox, easy 20cs dmg and you also use a jewelers armor with 100life and another 4 facets ^^ this is for a max vita build wich is popular, some uses Spirit but jmod is better then skills, doesnt have to be jsp though but if you wan't to re sell theese for what they actually go for choose popular jewel colors ^^, you can also do that in HRs as the same price they would go for on jsp in dueling discords or in

Chaos Sanctuary

All right, chumps, let's do this.

The poll's results are...inconclusive. 8 vs 7 in favor of one color, both cases won with Death+level combined.
