#Intended nerf?

It wasn’t in the patch notes, but Lemming was openly talking about it during maintenance. All combo bonuses did get brought back in line with bonuses that only boosted 1 thing, and the floor of all bonuses was raised to help compensate. Overall, it’s a net buff, but you will have trouble replacing those combo bonuses for now
Oh don't like that but I guess its happening. So my new gems will be useless for the next 500ish levels?
Depends on the bonus(es)
Have seen one gem that is ~1400 that will not be replaced until lvl 4500+
Gem bonuses got reworked to better balance the differences between the bonuses. This makes it so many of the combo bonuses will now be scaled to be closer to an equivalent All Damage bonus, and then all bonuses got scaled up in power a bit. Overall, this will mean that gemstones will be stronger on average, but if you previously had a "perfect gemstone", then it may be weaker in the short term until you raise your level a bit more.
GameHive should recalculate gem bonuses on old gems between Trans seasons (to avoid players being stuck post-recalc) to remove this issue of not being able to replace old gems.
Who knows if they will ever do it though. Took them 2? years to recalc Sophia's Faith
That says it all I guees. Any word on my suggestion though? When we draw gemstones we like I'd like to put them in the vault directly. At the moment it looks like I need to unequip a gem and find a new one in that spot which feels strange.
