While there's no question that slaying hordes of demons and looting heaps of shiny trinkets from their desecrated corpses is a ton of fun, sharing and talking about these experiences with other players on our forums and elsewhere on the web can be equally as entertaining. Many of you go beyond just sharing experiences, though; you offer advice, provoke thoughtful debate, and sometimes cause us to laugh our Hammer Jammers off.

With so many different places to chat about Diablo online, though, it can be easy to miss some of these great conversations. So, to help you keep your finger on the pulse of the community, we've created The Waypoint!

Rather than try to cover every great topic that comes up in the Diablo community, we'll be highlighting a handful of engaging player discussions each week. Then, we'll open up the floor to you, so that you can share your thoughts in the comments below.

What discussions caught our eye over the past week? Let's find out!

What Legendary Gems Would You Create?

Gordon#1827 and Saidosha#1136 posed an interesting question on our official Diablo III forums: What type of Legendary Gem would you create if you could? We think this is not only a fun, creative exercise, but a great way to get valuable feedback on what kinds of Legendary Gems you’d like to see.

So, if you could create any type of Legendary Gem and add it to the game, what would it be?

Speaking of the Hellfire Amulet, have you rolled a great one since patch 2.1.0 launched? That's what Redditor /u/podboi wants to know. Recently, he asked his fellow players to show off their best Hellfire Amulets (and has received some pretty amazing screenshots in response).

But what about you? What does your current best Hellfire Amulet look like?

Got an Idea for a New Community Buff?

Explaining How Bane of the Trapped Works

In his helpful video "Bane of the Trapped Explained," YouTuber Meathead Mikhael explores what types of skills will trigger this Legendary Gem's effect, the other Legendary Gems that complement it well, and how it works in action. There have been a lot of questions on the forums about how these powerful new gems work, so this video guide is certainly appreciated.
