We need an Omen of the Exception

With how crafting has become incredibly deterministic in 0.3, you can guarantee craft any gear with your desirable 6 mods (at a cost). However this made dropped armours and weapons extremely bad as a result, because they won't be an EXCEPTIONAL base with an extra rune socket - given how powerful rune sockets are in PoE 2, even if they drop with 6 t1 mods that you want. Knowing that your drops will always be worse than your crafts feels really bad, and we're back to hiding 99,9999% of the items dropped just like in PoE 1.

A quick bandaid solution would be to add an Omen of the Exception, costing a divine to make an item Exceptional.

P.S: Some deterministic crafting like essence is cool, but too much makes this league like Harvest 2.0 where you're able to craft perfect items and I don't like ground loots being useless.

The 100% increased socket effect modifier also makes this worse. As cool as it is to see a 4 socket corrupted staff, I think maybe exceptional bases should not have an extra socket.
