Rainbow Facet socket or sell?

I've been holding onto a perfect 5/5 Rainbow Facet: Lightning Level-up jewel that dropped while I was doing the story in hell for a while now while waiting to aquire a Griffon's Eye. Last night I finally got the Diadem drop on a CS run. Only issue is that the Griffon's Eye is exactly the opposite of my rainbow facet, rolled -15/10. It should be noted I'm still working on getting Infinity for my merc whose currently weilding a Reaper's Toll and I'm also rocking a Demon's Arch for my weapon. No Enigma or Fortitude for me or merc yet either. My question is: Do I go ahead and socket my facet into the subpar giffon's, attempt to aquire a better griffon's, or trade the rainbow facet?

Sounds like you’re better off just using it! Facets are fairly common, griffons are pretty rare.

It’ll make a difference for your javazon - wont break immunities, but will help the non-imbues drop faster

If you don't have the others "good" equipment for your build (don't have yet the runes or base for Infinity/Enigma/Fortitude or don't have a Titan's Revenge for example) you probably will increase more your overall power by trading for High runes to help buy them, than using the jewel on the Griffon.

I'd use or trade it. The plus for a trade is you can sell a -5-5 for a Ber, trade the Ber for 6-7 Ist and buy a -4-4 for around 3 Ist and pocket the remaining. The idea is since this is a bad Griffon's roll, you wont miss the -1-1 of the not perfect facet much. This can be too much of a hassle though for a few Ists of value.

Either way, a bad Griffon's roll is still a Griffon's, and you could use it in the meantime you build the rest of your gear, Infinity, Titan's and such.

Seconded. Pick up a lower facet and use the griffons. Sell the perfect facet to build up other gear.

I've got a Ber for it btw. I have an unfaceted 19/14 griff.

A little more is always better, but a -15/10 Griffon's with a 5/5 lightning Jewel along with a Crack of Heavens sunder is all you need to make a formidable Charged Strike Lightning Fury Javazon.

Okay, thank you all for your votes. Trade seems to have won the vote and has provided the most compelling evidence for it's implimentation.

On this website they seem to go for Ber to Jah. They regularly sell in game for 2 Jah. Shop around. The value difference between 1 Ber and 2 Jah is huge.
