I am having a lot of fun with this build! =)

I have a question... is this helm good enough to try 4 blue sockets to use the orb of storms setup?

In that case... which is the best way to achieve it?

Thanks!

It's got 4 good mods and the best enchantment for this build, so I would say it's worth the cost of coloring the sockets. You'll most likely need a lot of chromatic orbs or jeweller's orbs to accomplish this. Unless you're prepared to part with 800+ chromatic orbs, the most economical way is probably the socket number trick.

Take out all the gems and put it in your crafting bench and craft it to have 2 sockets. It will keep the current colors of the first two, which are already blue. Then craft a third socket on it. If it's not blue, craft it back down to 2 sockets and try again until you roll a third blue socket. Once you have 3 blue sockets, craft it to have 4 sockets. Keep alternating between 3 and 4 sockets until the fourth one is blue. It can take a number of tries to find success!

You can balance the cost a bit by first spending 125 chromatics to craft 3 blue sockets and then alternating between rolling 3 sockets to 4 sockets (jeweller's) and rolling 3 blue sockets (chromatics). I believe the method that uses jeweller's is cheaper on average.

If that doesn't make sense, Google it or let me know and I'll try to clarify.

Thank you so much Worder! It was perfect and i didn't know that trick. Maybe I had some luck, but it just cost me ~70 jewellers (and 0 chromatic) to get the 4blue sockets!

I'm very happy with the helmet because it probably will be my final item in that position (since I should upgrade a lot of other items before it)

Ty again
