Ok, I realize that using a sup. eth armor won't give you the +50%def, but does the recepie still work (does it still give you the sockets)? I'm sorry but I couldn't tell if this particular question had been answered. Thanks!

so tell me logically plz :

sacred armor has max base defense of 600 at least this says my diablo page.

SO if I get a sacred armor with 600 base def and which is ethereal so it has 900 defense coz it gets +50%.

Now I put it in the cube and do the socketing rune and it gets sockets and additional 50% bonus on the base defense it hat from the beginning this would make another 300 so all together max 600 +100% def = 1200 .... why are there sacred armors with 13xx defense then ???

how does the calculation work and which is absolute maximum for such an armor ?

thx.
