5th socket + bonuses

volst

Basically adding a 5th socket to armors. Can't be dropped or crafted, have to add it manually with socket stones.

Also an item with 5 sockets and 5 of the same level shards will get an attack bonus.

Example:
http://www.pwdatabase.com/pwi/items/14926
Mountcrasher Plate (level 11 armor) with 5 citrine gems (level 11 shards) would get a +40 attack bonus.

Level 16: +200
Level 15: +140
Level 14: +105
Level 13: +75
Level 12: +50
Level 11: +40
Level 10: +35
Level 9: +29
Level 8: +24
Level 7: +20
Level 6: +15
Level 5: +12
Level 4: +9
Level 3: +5
Level 2: +3
Level 1: +1

Since Level 14+ shards/stones don't exist yet, obviously no one would be able to get it yet.

No change in appearance, just an attack bonus.

I like the idea of a 5th socket, but the attack level bonuses seem a bit high.

as it is it hard enough to get for 4 sockets and be able to afford to socket that item with gems of the highest quality it can take.

i would much rather be able to afford better gems like immaculate and perfect rather than having a 5th socket.
