Should You Use Perilous Presence Gems?

Equip Brimming Spirit Gems Instead

Starting the battle with aggro can help when you are fighting more aggressive enemies or multiple enemies at once. However, being able to constantly generate aggro as the battle progresses is a much more useful trait for Defender classes. Because of this, if you want to augment a Defender classes' aggro-related abilities, you should equip the Brimming Spirit Gems instead.
