I could have sworn on a solid piece it was a 75% chance to roll a socket of that color. There is some form of priority for it, I forgot what it was someone posted before.
Also, you can't get
GGGGG
and
GGGGG back to back, it will change the color of at least one socket every time.
If it is 75% or let's say 80% for simplicity, then
p(rrrgg)=0.1³*0.8²*10
=0.64%
-> you need 156 orbs.
If it's 60%
=2,88%
->34,7 orbs
You're still calculating for one given order of the sequence though.
RRRGG is equal to RGRGR for all intents and purposes.
You can play a Witch in heavy armor or a Marauder in cloth, you just won't get the perfect items for that build as easy as you would get them for the items those classes usually use.
Yes so what does this mean? It means that the game battles diversity. If you want diversity you have to spend a lot more time and currency and effort than someone who doesn't.
This is supposed to be good?
Wrong conclusion, the game doesn't battle diversity, it battles randomness.

Actually we had "unbound" socket colours in cbt for a long time, and we would see threads like "it's ridiculous when i spend 100 chroms and just wont get a full green socket set". So this was changed to give you more chance to get green sockets in dex gear, etc.
It also goes against these cheap maths you guys are doing, since you are not considering the influence formula to keep the sockets at the stat type of the equipment.
