Without this gem, I don’t have the CDR necessary to make my build functional. And that always has to be the Flawless Royal Diamond. With my Follower wearing the Crown, it doesn’t matter what gem is socketed into it, the kind that drops is always the kind that is socketed into my character’s helmet. In the case of the Broken Crown, this is undesirable. The characteristic of the emanation feature is that the legendary effect of the emanating item is transferred to the character. Note: my complaint can be said to be academic because of the feature of gem type conversion using the, “Essence of ” available from Squirt the Peddler in Act II.

The problem is with the new feature of “emanation.”

There have been some complaints about the Broken Crown, but in normal applications it’s always work for me.
