check it there, theres also a sort of demo for you to try

[Lucian]

Very interesting.  If I read this correctly, enchanters are going to become very rare indeed.

[Neff]

Mmm, more spelldmg :norty:

[Marduk]

WTB more pack space? or was i mistaking when i saw you can remove gems from the items yourself to
 
and speaking about enchanters becomming rare, im sure they will get a boost to get equal or better ( in some cases )  stuff to work with
 
or perhaps you can have both on 1 item?

[Gorion]

enchants and jewels occupy diff slots as far as i know

you can also change the current gems with better gems, and also combine colours (like D2) but you cant just remove them

They prob made the gemsystem so people could adapt more armour to their class. Like with a chestpiece with a whoole lot of stamina a hunter could persay add hell of a lot of agility to it.

Socketed items where very populair in the Diablo 2 game.  And mostly the runewords drove your weapons and armor to superior stats...
 
I'm waiting for all this nice that is coming soon I hoop..

So, you can swap gems but not simply take them out, why make the distinction?, sounds more like the crystals in KOTOR (1&2) though, and also it seems the slots are colour coded, if you use the right colours you get an extra FREE stat

I'm only guessing here, but I think the gem that was in the slot before it gets destroyed. That at least sounds in keeping with the WoW way of doing it.

[Gorion]

its still much better than blizz old system.. like D2
 
once you put a crystal in thats it
 
speaking of D2.. damn you asheera you made me install it again!

[Neff]

All i can think of is more spelldmg /droooool.

speaking of D2, i still remember how hard Kreuz pwned me in it, not fair that he's lvl 86 and im 23:(
