Socket systems

[driller]

I made a change to the socket system. It's a bandaid to fix some issue we are having( I plan on rewriting the whole thing when I get time).

Dak Runes now add DR +1/2/3 Soak 5 to armor type items.

Please let me know if is starts misbehaving.

Ooh, that has me hyped!

OK, I guess it's necessary, but it's a huge nerf. You go from being able to add AC to a robe (which is very, very essential for non-armor users, such as monks, sorcerers, wizards, etc) to being able to add Soak (which in my experience is useless since almost all bosses and all high-level mobs have weaponry that cuts right through the Soak).

Sorry I meant hyped in regard to a future rework. Especially since I was told prior by other users 'if it ain't broke don't fix it'

You still have the forge.

Yes. But not at level 4...

You wont be fighting the high level mobs you mentioned at level 4.

Could someone explain the reason of the change?

thanks.

[driller]

Socketed items and forging where causing issues because the socketing system was written back before the forge even existed.

It will be changed again in the future as I am going to re-write the whole thing, I just need to find some time and test a bit.

Could someone explain the reason of the change?

thanks.

I realized, that the Dak rune description still says ac bonus.

Might be confusing for new players or regulars who don`t visit this forum
