Grinding visions for sockets SUCKS

Or they can you know, put sockets back into professions to allow everyone to get them when they need them, and most importantly, allow for more customisation on their gear like it used to be rather than having to run X content for Y currency just to even be given a chance to do Z content for the same upgrade we used to have, but now there is also a chance you will simply fail.

These are the reasons why Blizzard never make any meaningful changes that benefit the players and why sometimes they never listen to feedback, GD comes along and just goes “Oh you don’t like it, too bad, just don’t do it”.

And worse is when a DH is saying it because they can do pretty much everything easier than most given how simple their spell kit is. My druid has like 30 spells I need to work through my rotation for varying situations, that makes it very difficult to do something like visions solo.

I mean, I’m not saying it’s a good system for sockets, but doing something you hate isn’t going to help. Just stop doing it and don’t feed into their metrics.

Don’t get what? You don’t need the sockets, there’s zero reason to force yourself to if you hate it.

25

And this is correct

You don’t like it don’t do it then

The ones who refuse to are the ones who are making molehills into mountains

I’m sorry it is a grind, but I am happy I opted out early on working for sockets. Just the cost alone which magifies the core “vessel grind” system… that is just so much un-fun on top of un-fun on top of un-fun…

just to get 0.01% more effective in the fun part of the game… that you forgot you just didn’t do for most of your time due to the grind…

27

But wirt my tauren friend! They want it to be handed out like candy!

28

maybe some people like them

So don’t run them, that is your choice. Sockets are a huge power gain and we should actually have to put forth some effort at some point in this game…

The good news is this week is one of the easier weeks to grind them. I don’t care about sockets as much but 750 echoes per run is pretty big.

31

I hate SW, I do all my running on Org weeks lol.

Also hate hot feet, will take last week back any day of the week.

32

Org is pretty easy if you don’t care about chest or crystals. Otherwise you have to back track a lot.

This week SW takes me around 18-25 minutes to full clear 5 mask all chest and crystals. It really depends on buffs and potion effects per run.

33

I just do it for fun, and SW is not fun lol. I have really bad times with running up spirals and fall off the mage tower all the time.

Is there any other way to get the sockets?

35

No, but they’re not really needed for anything, they’re just a bonus.

36

Just a bonus? Let me guess, a pet battle player.

37

Fastest is still 5 masks. Its a drag.

Or you can pray to rng god for sockets on M+ or Mythic Raids.

Nope.

You can clear all content in the game without them, they’re not required to kill Mythic N’zoth or do decently high level M+

39

You are wrong. Sockets are very important, now more than ever since raw stats build are becoming more and more efficient for pve content.

Not in the least, as many many guilds have cleared all that without having extra sockets. They’re a bonus.

Getting a bunch of sockets isn’t going to help you get past 3/12 mythic, if you’re still 3/12 a this point in the expansion there’s a lot more you need to work on than sockets

If you’re .1% from killing n’zoth, sure, some sockets could help.
