As i know, socket don't have bonus %dd on +13. Like ruud set, there are different options.
Also I think too the socket system should be improved.
There are 700-900 characters online on the servers.
Some time ago it was well over 1000.
The socket system was a nice stepping stone that allowed everyone to choose between different sets and options. It was also a great set for PvP.
However, it eats up huge amounts of resources, and is still no better than other sets. So there is no point, to create it.
It is boring to look at all the characters dressed the same.
In the case of SM, the standard is, at the start of the server, to create "by luck" set t3-t4 +15, and then only Ruud.
Upgrading the socket system could increase character diversity a bit.
I would like to see more socket system. At the moment it's a rarity, although if someone has it, you know that you don't have to worry about it in PvP ๐
