Imc did a horrible job. Not only did they make investing into STR useless for 99% of the classes, but they also made green gems absolutely useless.
That should’ve never been the case. What they should have done was to balance out the gems (and hats, crit rate on hats is pretty useless too now) so that it is still appealing to go either path and have similar results. Now it’s just, “Go this way or you’re 60%~100% weaker than you should be.”
They over buffed the gems for no reason.
