Speed Mapping vs Bossing: Optimizing Timeless Jewels
Your endgame focus determines which timeless jewel configuration will serve you best. Here's how to optimize for each playstyle.
Speed Mapping Priorities
Speed mapping requires consistent clear speed, mobility, and survivability against large packs. Your jewel should enhance these aspects.
Best Jewel Choices
- Brutal Restraint - Wind Dancer for action speed, onslaught for mobility
- Lethal Pride - Strength for life pool, intimidate for consistent damage
Bossing Priorities
Boss fights demand burst damage, sustained DPS, and maximum survivability during extended encounters.
Best Jewel Choices
- Militant Faith - Inner Conviction for massive spell damage multiplier
- Lethal Pride - Double damage, life regeneration for sustain
Hybrid Approaches
Most players need a balance. Consider jewels that provide defensive layers with offensive benefits, allowing smooth mapping while still handling endgame bosses.
