Are you sure it's not activating? Only way to check that is to manually add up the stats yourself; the "Socket Bonus?" column is addressing whether you *should* go for the socket bonus, not whether you *are* going for the socket bonus. So on Netherblade Helm and Edgewalker Longboots, it feels that the the socket bonus is worth getting, but on BBV it think you will be better off just ignoring the socket bonus. This doesn't take into consideration the fact that the blue gem is probably helping activate a metagem, though.

Ahh, I thought it was teling me it was not active, not telling me I shouldn't use it. That makes sense now. I finally got shard-bound bracers today, and it doesn't recommend that I do it there either, but I need 2 blues for my thundering skyfire, and I figured the best place to socket blues would be where it gives me a bonus.
Plus I can put a Glinting Noble Topaz back in my edgewalkers now that the bracers are picking up my second blue.
