What are Sockets used for?<\/h3>\n
Sockets are useful in Diablo IV to give an additional attribute to your gear<\/strong>. They don’t do anything on their own instead they make a slot space on your gear which allows you to add gems to it<\/strong>. And each gem has different attributes. Thus when you get a gear that has excellent but limited stats. You can improve it by adding sockets and gems to them. Some gears might also come with sockets already on them.<\/p>\n
