augment ancient items diablo 3 max level

edit: Also, the legendary gem and all the flawless royal gems will be consumed in the process. People say that it is tedious to grind gear in Diablo2, well it is even more tedious to grind boring gems to level 150 to augment in a piece of gear. If you use a level 50 legendary gem (which you should, since it is also a season journey quest to do an upgrade with least level 50) you'll get an 50 5 250 int / dex / strength bonus on the item you used it on.

The power of gems will still level up to 150 so there would still be a reason to actually farm higher rifts even if you make it easier to compete with augments on the leader board. Take Leap barb as an example, why the beep would we currently max level augment Might to see how far we can take the build? We would actually be able to do ‘‘fun’’ builds if augmenting fun items was not a massive waste of time. Level 100 max for augment would be perfect because augments would not be a tedious full time job.

It is currently a waste of time to spend high level augments on gear that you might replace in a game or two, and to play with 2 sets is currently not doable if you want both sets to be augmented with very high gems.

What I find stupid about the current system is that you want to save your high gems till you get better gear. I think that the augment stat bonus from gems should cap at level 100 and the bonus should be the same as a current 150 gem by dividing 150/100 which will give 7.5 stat per level.
