More Sources for scaling Gem Quality

Hey GGG,

can we get some more ways to scale Gem Quality.
You guys just recently reworked the Gem System which is really cool and I'm looking forward which Transfigured Gems are coming in the future. But what I'm missing is scaling this Gem Rework via Quality.
Right now the only sources for Gem Quality scaling is Enhance/Ahses of Star/Diallas Chest/Shaper Chest and not to many other good ways.
Compared to where you can get Gem Level Scaling everywhere, from Empower/Amulets/Weapons/Corruptions/Unique Items and so many more ways I cant remember right now. Its pretty "easy" to get a Gem to Level 25-30 compared to get a Gem to 30-50% Quality without some heavy investments in special Items designed around Gem Quality and in most cases the sacrifice either offensive or defensive is to big for that heavy investment.

Some quick suggestion would be add some Corruption Implicts like 10-20% Quality of Socketed Gems, maybe add some new Crafts which boost the Quality (compared to the Betrayal craft like +1 AoE and 8-10% AoE Effect). So we can play arround on 6-Link and 4-Link Setups to boost up Quality on some Movement/Defensive/Minion whatever Gems.
Wepaons/Amulets have +1 to all/fire/cold/light/chaos, maybe add as affix +20% Quality of all/fire/cold/light/chaos/active/support. Some Builds would take the +1 others the 20% Quality. Just some more "generic" ways to get some Quality Percentages on Gems without heavy Investments in complete Gear/Gem Slots like Ashes/Diallas/Enhance.

I think a few more ways to scale Gem Quality will boost up the flexibilty for some new builds, just because there are some Qualitys now that are really interesting to go for Quality instead of Gem Level. Keep in mind there might are some Breakpoints on Gems, thats why I wrote for example up to 20% Quality on a Corruption, so you might hit the 40% Quality Breakpoint with a 21/22/23% Quality Gem. Ofc depeneding on the luck of your corruption, and still have the component of High/Low rolling your luck. So a 20/23 could hold more value/power then a 21/20, ofc mostly talking about Attack Skills here. Spell Skills most of the time still would value Gem Level more.

*edit1*
Maybe raise the Limit of Gem Quality Corruption to 30%. Why still 23%? You reworked every Quality and still have the Control over which Gem holds which Quality. So theres another High Roll potential on Gems, ofc hitting a 21/30 would be incredible difficult. But the diffrence between 20% and 23% is in 99% of situation completly useless (Unless the suggestion I had before you keep the 23 and could play around that number). But the more I think about, balancing around the gem corruption going up to 30% give it more room for other sources of Quality scaling.

You are probably cooking some new content, maybe you could sneak in some ways of scaling Gem Quality in there ;)

Nice day at work GGG :D
