It's a good change. My question now is: is the socket already on any newly crafted base item as of patch 9.1 or will the socket be added automatically during the crafting procedure? Does anyone know?
why no cloaks ? .. or just put a socket on every legendary.. so one one is screwed.
Domination socket or regular socket? The blue post does not clarify.
Need clarification if that includes "upgraded" legendaries. If not then this does not matter.
Why are they so against just having a reforging system in place? $%^&s sake.
Thanks blizzard.. They just force us even more to recraft The legendarys instead to change their bad systems. This is not a good change whatever you think. Trying to throw us a bone to think their #$%^ty updates looks better instead of changing their own way of forming The game to what The player want.
Why not just have legendaries be crafted with....i don't know...DOMINATION SOCKETS! Problem solved.
I'm not quite sure why limiting which pieces of gear are even eligible for gem sockets is even a thing in the first place. It doesn't seem like such a big deal for them to be eligible to appear on every piece of gear but I feel the better option would be to get rid of the RNG regarding sockets entirely unless JC could make an item like the Spatial Realignment Apparatus to circumvent the RNG of it all.
So wait a sec.... elemental shamans bis legendary is boots/back. We already have to recraft to the back if we had boots because of the new system. Now the back won't have a gem while everyone else using rings/neck/bracers/belt will get a socket?
question my mage has the leg leggo...so this doesn't overlap with any other cloth chain of domination slot so I can basically have potentially 2 leggos one without a slot and one with a slot? or is my leg leggo obsolete so I have to craft that piece all over again but with a new gem slot ? or ..recraft my leggo slot and then like craft a helm slot or something (chains of domination stuff) ?
People reacting negatively to this , are just biased. This is a good change
This is actually nice. I've got 6 alts who are going to be receiving free sockets on legendaries. Time saved from stygia farming will be around 5-6 weeks
So...I bought a crafted piece before this announcement. I assumed I should wait till 9.1 hits so I can get the socket...NO. The base item has to be crafted after 9.1 hit to get a socket already on it. After crafting it to a Legendary, it does not automatically get a socket. I assume this working as intended...Thanks Blizz!
