I know for a fact there is a 49 warrior with all the item lvl 180 gear on ally side. 2h mace rings and I think a helm. 4 items anyway. Rings and weapon for sure. He actually doesn't seem very op. Or at lest not much more op than the next warrior. I also don't mind if he uses them. I actually encouraged him to use them as much as he can. They will be fix soon enough so might as well enjoy it while it last. Hell, I am actually really jelly. I'd be using them for sure if I had them! I used to have sockets on my bracers and gloves on my 49. Had that for a while. The only way it was fixed was when they took that ability away from all blacksmiths. Maybe he will get lucky and be able to keep them forever. If they didn't change that socket ability for all blacksmiths I might still have them.
