I’ve been having this issue where certain rare rings will only compare with 1 of my rings that are equipped. Even if I equip the ring it wont pop up a compare window with the ring I’m ACTUALLY trying to compare it with.
I’ve noticed that generally this bug (I’m hoping it’s a bug) happens when I’m comparing items very similar in power level. For instance what prompted this post right now was I have an 803 power ring that will compare with an 780 ring but wont compare with the 801 ring that I am actually trying to compare it to.
Is anyone else experiencing this? It’s extremely annoying.
It goes off of the base value of the ring for resists the majority of the time. So if you have two rings equipped one with 9% all resist, one with 10% and you get a new ring with 10% it’s going to compare it to the 9% ring and never the 10% one. It’s annoying.
In D3 you could hold shift to compare your other ring regardless. No idea why this concept was left out of D4.

are you pressing alt? the compare window should switch to your second ring slot then.

In D4 its Alt, or maybe I rebound it to alt, either way there is a button to toggle to off-rings and off-hands.

The default is alt. What annoys me is I have to toggle on the compare every time I log in for some reason. Unsure why I’d want to view a piece of gear without comparing it to what I already have
Ok that works. Thanks.
Silly mechanic. It’s arbitrary if I have to hit shift or shift + alt to compare a ring.
It wasn’t broken before…
no problem. it always worked like this. it even shows you when you compare items at the button, tho to be fair, thats easy to miss.

It’s worse than that. If I take the ring that is bugging and equip it I have to hit shift + alt for every ring that I’m trying to compare it with. Otherwise shift wont do anything. Really bad mechanic. It wasn’t broken before.
Nope this is the first Diablo where you had to hit alt to compare anything.
It’s also broken. If you only have one ring on, and the game doesn’t want to compare that ring, you have to hit alt and there is no prompt.
Thanks for the help though appreciate it.
