    Please link enchant buffs to gems (and jewels), instead of crafted gear.

    Currently both the Enchant and Masterwork systems are tied directly to crafted armor/weapons.
    Which is painful, because crafters have to go through the RNG lottery twice to get a decent weapon.
    If the Enchant system was delinked from crafted gear and tied to gems,
    and only Masterworks were tied directly to armor/weapons,
    it would really help reduce the RNG pain.

    Here are some ideas for a fun Gem Enchant system:

    - Make it so enchant buffs are applied to gems before they are socketed.
    - Allow gems to be unsocketed so they can be swapped between weapons.
    - Add a gem combination mechanic to combine buffs from multiple gems.

    Gem enchants could also be linked to the sky buff system.
    So when a desirable sky buff is active, crafters can enchant a supply of gems with that buff to use or sell later.

    From a lore / how and why things work perspective, it doesn't really make sense for sky buffs to affect all of the crafting systems.
    But it would make sense for celestial object mechanics to affect enchantments.

    Being able to get multiple gem procs on one item is just too broken and powerful. life effectiveness 8%+ with 25%+ str of earth and the sun on hit str buff would be op as hell. And gear that does not get gemmed still needs to be able to be enchanted.

    I'm was thinking sort of a Diablo type gem combination system.
    The devs could just add sockets to all gear.
    The system would need to be tuned so it is not overpowered.

    Just to be clear, I realize this wishlist request could be rather difficult to implement.
    It's more of a brainstorming idea to get the creative juices flowing.
    Anyone else with good ideas please post as well.
