Yeah, you would use a normal gem in the additional socket. At least that is what you would do based on the information we have now. Nobody knows what the next steps are going to be, nor what the next reward is.

the next reward is a head enchant

And the patchnotes say the exact opposite.

"Along the way, they'll unlock the secrets to a new headgear enchantment, the Crown of the Heavens." - Source

That literally means head enchant. Maybe he means it isn't a head enchant as we know them(boring +stat/+secondary stat).

hmm maybe its some kind of vanity effect or something?

This sha touched crap doesn't work very well for rogues. Can't use sha touched fist+sha touched dagger unless you get a second one just to not gem. Costs 10k to have a proper offspec mainhand. Can't get the extra socket on the offspec weapon. Then on the other hand on my druid I only need the sha touched staff and its g2g for moonkin+resto.

OH MY GOD... you mean 2 specs use the same weapon?
Not like there's two rogue specs who use daggers or anything...

Spiritsever is just fine for OS Combat OH. Just don't put a gem in your Shek'zeer.

You should swap your daggers, btw. Dagger of the Seven stars does more damage, so it should be in your MH.

There's an easy fix for that to prevent rogues from getting 2 sockets.

Give Wrathion the ability to give you back the eye by removing it from your currently equipped weapon.
This way we can move the socket from a weapon to another of from a lfr/normal to an heroic one.

Who knows, maybe they will implement a way to get more when 5.2 drops.

If I have my bis item this tier I will use it because I will have it for the rest of this tier + some of the next tier just because of the huge amount of stats on it from the gem + the prismatic socket.

You sure do have a helpful post history..

Yea Spiritsever is fine, that's the point. I got a Claw first so of course I gemmed it. Few weeks later I got a Spiritsever for a MH with assassin. Couldn't use it with the Claw and had to keep a weaker weapon (N Seven Stars) instead. It just feels really janky to not be able to use your best loot because gemming makes it impossible to pair them. It's not a huge deal, but legendary bonuses shouldn't feel that way.

Good point about swapping. Just got it tonight to replace the non-heroic version in my OH, hadn't thought about it.

I fail to see why anyone would think that a gem would have more then a one time use.

This is off-topic I know but I have to say I laughed really hard when I read your sig. Stjartleif is a friend of mine and I remember when we played that BG together.

Ugh I hate earning rewards then waiting to use them until i get a normal or better item because its pointless to waste stuff like this on LFR gear.

They should have at least made the item so that it has infinite uses, but a very long recharge time (like 20-30 days)

It got hotfixed. Can buy another one for 2250g now! Hurray! Use away.

You can buy it at the VP vendor in townlong steppes.

Very nice indeed
