Esoteric Alteration is a Legendary Gem in Diablo III. It can only be socketed into Amulets and Rings, and drops from Greater Rift Guardians. This gem was Season Two-exclusive, but once this season ended, started to drop for normal characters as well. This gem decreases all incoming unsaved damage taken by the bearer, as long as it is of any Elemental Damage type except Physical. Upgrading increases the damage reduction even further. It has a leveling cap of 100, giving 60.0% non-Physical damage reduction.
