Is a recommended but not mandatory Jewel, it helps make mechanics such as Delirium and Legion far easier but ultimately is up to the player whether or not it's worth the jewel socket.

Abyss Jewels

Searching Eye Jewels are a substantial part of your total damage so tracking down some good ones is very important. Good abyss jewels are often not very expensive and by far the best way to find some great ones is by using the Path of Building upgrade search function. Stats to look out for are:

• Flat elemental damage to Wands
• Flat elemental damage to Attacks
• Increased Critical Strike Multiplier
• Increased Critical Strike Multiplier if you have Killed Recently
