@SebastianD Tested this against striped boars in Mourningdale the other night, verified. Boars (beasts) don’t have resists/weaknesses vs. void or nature from what I can tell. I tested before the amber and after adding it. Was exactly the same damage as before, but halved x2

Thanks. Then I’ll guess I’ll add some diamond or different gem.
Maybe in my test it was getting better because of switching some little FOC to INT
I just did a test as well. Same damage like you. But just for people who wanted to know, this were my results. After killing like 25-40 boars
No gem: Max crit 931
T5 Amber: Max crit 930 (465+465)
No. Do not use an amber gem. The item already scales off of FOCUS.
If I remember correctly the scale is 65% w/ FOCUS which is higher than any gem already.

Oh, now that’s an interesting twist!
This is what my testing revealed as of this morning… T2 amber is the highest you want to go. However, someone else further down implies that this is because the VG already scales on Focus? Curious if that’s true and/or has anything to do with the amber gem issue.

May have missed it but what is consensus on best gem if we are full INT?
i went pure focus and put amber in void gauntlet, its ggwp all day
t2 amber is bugged and exploitive
I think the actual issue is that scaling for amber gems on focus is broken across the board, if you look at my test results. Should be getting more than 0.4, which is what T2 is giving you. I’ve read that it’s supposed to be 0.6 for all amber gems, but not positive on that. So, while you get the best bonus from T2 amber on Focus… it’s hardly exploitative. It’s technically broken and underpowered.
T2 amber stil works
Feel free and test an INT gem! 
I plan on doing so once I have more time and my VG skills leveled more. Been hard for me to login past week due to RL stuff.
I slotted in the fire int gem while leveling the VG and it seems fine with 310 INT ( almost easy mode in pve, but no baseline tests yet with other gems.)
I’ll report back once I can get my hands on a few different VGs. They are fairly pricey on my low pop server still.

All you need is one T5 epic with a slot!
So what’s the final say on gemming a void gauntlet?

I don’t know that there is any consensus, the opinions seem to be all over the map. I’m hesitant to use any of my Cut Pristine Ambers until I hear that they’re actually scaling properly.
amber gems are broken, have been since the last beta (yes, the whole life of the game live, it’s not just amber gems though, most gems are broken in one way or another… somehow in the 2nd week of this title the taunt gems got broken too, no one noticed because agro is so shitty, and most tanks run taunt attacks anyway, but the taunt gems do nothing right now too). the only amber gem that works is the t2 version which grants 20%.

If it has been broken for so long then AGS is unlikely to fix it, for some reason. Maybe because they want healers to not do any dmg?
