====================
NOTE: the acquisition of the gems from vendors is based on the class of the build. If you have alts or chars that have already completed Act 6, then you can use them to buy the missing gems.
For example: Leap Slam can be acquired by a Marauder after finishing the quest "The Caged Brute" (Act 1), but the same is not available for a Witch.
NOTE #2: if a quest has as reward 2 or more gems that you need, take one and then you can buy the other from one the NPCs in town (each act has a specific NPC selling gems).
