That\'s still the case, but a weapon is never going to cut it without good dps, +main stat, and socket. (No CD on weapons in RoS.) Hence any weapon you find that doesn\'t roll those 3, or at least 2 so you can try to enchant one, is junk.

So my theory was to make the socket easier to obtain via enchanting on that specific item type since it\'s considered mandatory.

Yeah, I am just really glad we have a way to add sockets, it doesn\'t bother me that I have to trade an attribute on an item to get it. Creating a build should be about making tradeoffs anyway. There are so many ways to add/subtract attributes now there are multiple ways to make up for what you lost to gain a socket in an item. I\'m a little surprised there\'s any grousing about sockets in the expansion...

Well I dunno, but while we're on the subject more useful socketables would be nice. It's still rare there's more than one choice at any given time.
