5 socket - > 5L'ing is the same % as 6 socket to 5L'ing right?

No.
Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.

It's about double the chance (we think, community understanding of how fusings work is not perfect) plus you have a chance to 6L instead. Don't try to 5L 5-socket items.

But without the certainty of outcome.

There's always that chance you end up better off... probably about the same chance as it happening with the shark, mind.

If links were rolled independently, the chance for 5L would be almost the same on 5S and 6S (two 5L possibilities, but also twice as many "fuck up" scenarios).

However it is common belief (or even confirmed?) that links are not rolled independently.

Instead every socket, starting from the first, rolls for how many links will follow him.

On a 5S item, you then get a 5L if and only if the first socket "decides" he is followed by 4 Links.
On a 6S, you have twice the chance, because the first and second socket have the chance to do this.

I would also say, that the chance is doubled because with 6 Sockets you have 2 possible states with 5 linked sockets (No link followed by 5linked sockets and 5linked sockets followed by no link).

With 5 Sockets you only have 1 possible state with 5 linked sockets.

You're right, but for the wrong reasons. ;)

Always waste your fuse on a 6-socket item.
