New Orb -> Orb of Mastery

bump

A much better sollution would be to make the Chromatic Orbs change the colour of specific sockets (by placing the orb over the specific socket).
This wouldn't devalue the Chromatic Orbs in any way because for example in an Evasion type of armor you would still have less chance to roll a red or blue socket and you would have to spend Orbs for every socket.
I think that this would avoid alot of frustration when trying to change a skillgem in a 5 or 6 socket item, because the way it works right now if we only intend to change one skillgem we have to reroll the intire poll of possible color combinations and end up with no Orbs left, and with the colours that we don't need - and most importantly we end up having to use another piece of gear untill we have orbs again to repeat the process.
Hope it helps.

few good points, indeed

edit: Few days ago I tried to change the colours of a 6L Shavronnes Wrappings. I needed 5 off colours.

I didn't count how many Exalted I spent on it, or how many Chromatic Orbs. I think it was about 2000 Chromatic Orbs or more.. and the result was, that it ended up to be the same as it was at the beginning (4 off colours) I know that some guys probably even used more Chromatic Orbs to try to get their desired colours. But it's just rediculous, kills the time and it's unbelieveable expensive.
I don't know what kind of option there is, to make the actual system of changing colours on sockets better, but in my opinion this needs to be redesigned.

I mean it's a whole gamble system
You use Jewelers for amount of sockets -> cost up to a few exalted..(for 6socket)
You use Fusings for amount of links -> cost up to dozens of exalted..(for 6link)
You use Chromatics for specific colours (off colours most likely) -> cost up to dozens of exalted (for 5-6 off colours)

And we're not even talking about the items mods yet, with very good mods that can cost so much aswell.

And in my opinion this game allows you to use all skills on every class, so why make it so damn hard to do that?
As mentioned for most people it is really frustrating I can tell. Sometimes it is frustrating for me too, even though I have a lot of currency. But that's not the point.
The point is, making this a gamble system kinda contradicts the skill system this game has.
This game already has a lot of other gamble system stuff (some mentioned above). But when it comes to the use of skills, since you're allowed to use every skill on every class - this should be designed differently.
