Why dont quivers have sockets?

Even 2h weps can't spawn with more than 3s atm. I'm not sure why that is. Hopefully the change to 6s on 2H is upcoming.

This. No clue where you guys got that 6 socket idea from
Two-handers can have up to six sockets, but at this point in the beta we can't spawn items with levels high enough.

The item levels in the beta don't go high enough for 6 sockets right now. I'm thinking they'll start appearing around level 80-90 items and start becoming fairly common around level 100.

It seems like this is a balance problem then. 2h weapons should be able to have 6 sockets as soon as 1h + 1h can get 6 net sockets.
Yah was just going to say if you have to wait tell 80-90 to have the same gem set up as a 1hand/1offhand there lies a problem.
Personally, I think max available sockets in all equipment should be something which spawns regularly before the end of the second difficulty. I would rather have my skill array earlier and spend the twilight levels fine tuning equipment and gem arrangements.

I'm pretty sure bows have the same socket limits as two-handed melee weapons, so you're not missing out.


Ok and what about sheilds? Melee classes can choose to roll 2 handed (which most don't in hc atleast because u need armour) or 1 hand with sheild, iv never found a bow with more then 4 slots and im lvl 40 hc. And iv never found a bow with more then 3 linked slots and iv dropped like 30 jeweler orbs into the current one i have. I find sheilds all the time with 4 and 5 linked sockets, axes hammers and swords with tons of linked sockets.If we don't get quivers with sockets and u say a bow has highest amount of sockets available, do we not get to use these extra sockets till were 50?

My guess would be that shields are supposed to be capped at 3 sockets.
Well i guess their not ... and his whole argument that bows sockets equal a sheild and weapons sockets is wrong.
