Hey, have you figured out the gem infusion shit at all? Do they take away a bunch of scaling when you use them? I was thinking about using a lightning gem or crystal gem in my great sword but right now I'm just buffing it with resin a bit.

The gems will usually drop your base damage down a bit but will increase your scaling in what the gem is specialized in. If you have high strength, then a heavy gem is good, high dexterity is sharp, high in both is refined and so on.
I'm still not too clear on the elemental gems, but I do know that each "attribute" usually has 2 gems for it. For example, a fire gem will give your weapon a fire attribute but will remove scaling from it, while a chaos weapon will have lower base damage but will scale off of faith and intelligence. A raw gem boosts your base damage but removes scaling.
