Increases damage by 4% multiplicatively for every 10 yards between the player (pet damage is also based on the player-monster distance) and the enemy hit. Maximum 20% at 50 yards. You can level this Gem all the way up to rank 150. Every upgrade will increase the damage by another 0.08% per stack up to a maximum of 80% total.
The tooltip ismisleading as the first damage bonus is already active when you are right on top of the monster. That also means the maximum damage bonus of 80% at rank 150 is already reached at 40 yards. The damage goes up in 10 yard steps at 10, 20, 30 and 40 yards, meaning there is no additional damage increase at 4 or 5 yards etc..
The secondary effect has a 20% chance to stun the enemy for 1 second when you hit them. This chance is affected by the skill’s proc coefficient. Overall this effect is not very useful and can even have a negative impact as it adds random crowd control immunity to monsters when proc’d. This can be particular annoying on Rift Guardian fights where some boss killer builds rely on controlling the boss to deal optimal damage like the AoV Heaven’s Fury Crusader with Bracer of Fury.

Legendary Gem Creation:
If you need extra Legendary Gems to level up, you can make the Rift Guardian in any Greater Rift drop a new Rank 0 Gem by removing all the Legendary Gems with the same name from your Equipment, Inventory and Stash.
The safest way to do that is to put them into the Inventory of different character.
