Honestly, there should be a vendor that sells all skill gems.

Yes, i am serious.

I've suggested this several times before,

an ideal candidate would be Lady Dialla, already known as the Gemling Queen. She'd become available only after having beaten Dominus.

Gems could be restricted on a per-difficulty basis, to say never make normal Dialla have a Cast when Damage Taken gem. Although personally I'd prefer having it as you say, simply all gems, there should be no level requirements beyond what's on the gems themselves.

Yes, indeed, i agee.

The Details around it can be adjusted, of course. You gave a good example, but it can also be a be a gem limit; 1/2 of every gem available only. And Merciless Dominus reward = x5/x10 of every gem in stock. Or something.

vendor sells all gems for

1 blue gem/ 1 red gem/ 1 green gem + 2 alchemy orb.

This would be a massive item sink for those stashes full of non quality gems. And since the community's baseline price for a gem is an alchemy orb imo, this could potentially work.

Availability of gems should correspond with the difficulty level in which you talk to the vendor
(some gems should only be able to be purchased at mercilles for example)

The reason why it would require 2 alchemy orbs is to make trading still more profitable from a "time investment" point of view. While still enabling it for people that play without trade.

Templar needs Life Leech gem.
Templar is the weapon elemental damage specialist.
And he has no Life Leech or Life Gain on Hit for rewards.
It's quite difficult to play melee WED build without these gems at later game.
