MoP Remix Gems Guide
- Meta Gem: Funeral Pyre – Triggered by Call of the Wild, this gem provides a significant burst of damage, aligning perfectly with your cooldowns. Alt: Funeral Pyre Meta Gem activating with Call of the Wild for Beast Mastery Hunter in MoP Remix.

Tinker Gems can push you to the 100% Crit hard cap and well beyond the 100% Haste soft cap. Invest remaining stats into Versatility for overall damage and survivability. Top Prismatic Gems include: Perfect Deadly Sapphire, Perfect Masterful Amethyst, Perfect Quick Topaz, and Perfect Versatile Diamond.
