    It sucks.

    Does not work with Condensed Thorn.

    The sin you saw was an idiot.

    The idea is you can basically get a G11 water shard for less than a flawless garnet.

    People like BMs will always pop physical marrow when fighting a Sin. When they do, the water shard actually pays off. 99% of the time in pvp, and 100% of the time in pve the shard doesn't pay off. Just a space saver until they can afford a "real" gem. Sins have so many damage multipliers that a flawless garnet will increase about the same amount of damage against a HA as a G11 magic shard.

    It's probably like the avarage citrines in my sin's interval cape. For fun, until I get the real shards (probably perfect or higher, not even sure yet XD).

    And it may be cheaper, that flawless garnet actually adds more raw dmg cause of it getting multiplyd by dex

    Errrr... I was under the impression that the water damage dealt by condensed thorn was calculated based on physical damage, rendering water damage shards completely useless??

    That's true.

    Some people just have weird beliefs. You have a similar thing with fire damage shards and Blazing Arrow on archers. That, too, works off of physical damage.
