i swear seeing kripp socket gems in those links back in like 2013 is half the reason i started playing lol

ok well maybe 33% the reason
33% was that you could link supports to any skill gem to alter it drastically
33% was cuz d3 was bad and i needed something new to play
Iconically bad
The main reason why I left PoE 1 was sockets and links on gear. It's a nightmare. Removing them in PoE 2 was one of the best decisions.
Yeah if only we could still play POE1.....
Terrible idea, sockets as part of the skills panel is one the best things of PoE2.
