We all know that most of the elite unique weapons are utterly worthless and useless. If we bump them all up to 4 sockets it might allow some of them to be useful.

It would help druid greatly for reaching fury/feral breakpoints.
It would allow for facets in vengeance type weapons.

Etc.

Maybe the easiest way would be to extend the 2 quad recipe to include unique weapons.

I actually agree with this concept, it would be easier to balance uniques if you could quad socket them too as you don't have to worry about such massive variability between socketted and unsocketted items.

Personally, I would have sockets work on all items - that to me is the easiest solution.

Keep in mind though that many uniques would need some reductions if this were to be implemented as they are currently balanced around not having sockets.

I agree in median all uniques come with max sockets i think u would see more weapon choices if they could have more gems ,jewels, or runes in them.but why stop at weapon make all armors and helm s come with 3-4 sockets too there are only a few end game helm that most players use.

Yah that would pretty much make all blues, yellows and crafting recipes obsolete if you could have equal the ammount of sockets... Not going to happen.

Unique item enchantments far exceed other equipment, the balance is that you can socket everything with additional sockets.

seconded

but maybe add some new type of end game content.. thats really hard and the reward is a super socket that will add 5 sockets to any item... heh or make it so only Baal has like a 2% chance to drop it. might make people run them more


edit and yes I know a 5 socket eth windhammer is imba.. but I'm sorry if u run hell baal that many times.. i think u deserve to be strong :)

What about allowing uniques that come with 0 sockets to be socketable up to 2 sockets (using 2 X-sockets) Instead of just the one. and any unique that drops w/ 2 or more stays unchanged.
