I haven't seen any of the little sockets being to improve damage of a weapons (there might be but they haven't released much about it). The buffs aren't really like what you are thinking of. Not just flat damage increases or +6 agility to bracers or something that replaces skill with time played.

I think they are more along the lines of little abilities you can use that will possibly make fighting easier for you, if you use them correctly. Not just +5 damage to your machine gun, but like the ability to knock someone down, or like the above stated: double jump, protection from headshots(whether that just stays on forever or if it makes it take 2 headshots to kill you, or if you can just turn it on temporarily and then wait for a recharge I don't know).
