Changes to Primordial Stones

Here is my advice, from some guy in a house. I can promise you this advice is solid.

Add
Secondary
Stats
To
This
Stupid
Ring

I don’t know how many times I can say this.

I thought we were getting away from juggling stats but here we go again.

I didn’t even try and get enough stones to upgrade 2 sets to 424.

We still arent because these rings are trash with no secondary stats.

Or BFA or Legion…

Literally saw zero threads in DF asking even indirectly for a system like before yet we got them.

Meanwhile requests for normal flying on launch has been requested for a literal decade. Or new battlegrounds? Challenge content? Harder solo content? Nah, let’s make something no one asked for.

News flash alot of people don’t hate borrowed power so long as it’s not some crazy never ending grind or time management thing. The ring is nice idea and nice catch up. Yes it’s undertuned. Yes it will get fixed. None of you are going to doe die over this dear lord

This is why you wait to upgrade anything until season 2 drops. Have mats ready.

Actually they are not. Between the 3 gems they did nearly 10 percent of my DPS in some raid encounters. But usually 6 to 8 percent on average which is pretty big. Much larger than just secondary stats. That was using fire, frost and arcane dps gems. Maybe for a tank or healer might be different. But dps felt good.

So - this is the issue - Blizzard heard the feedback and a lot of the feedback was people did not want this ring to be required to raid next tier.

If they added secondary stats to this ring - wouldn’t it indeed make it mandatory moving forward? Ala the cloak in BfA or the neck or you pick your flavor of the expansion item?

Personally it seems to be a fun little game - even if it isn’t terribly impactful for performance but I don’t know about you - I don’t want to have to acquire a specific set of upgraded stones on my ring to raid next tier once let alone on every alt

I’m fine with them leaving it not very strong

How is this ring borrowed power, by your lack of brain power all gear is technically borrowed power then, delete the game and go away.

delete the game and dont come back thanks

Its not borrowed power, stop using false words to describe something YOU do not like, quit the game

I can get it if you’re aff like you are, but by NO MEANS is this even a side grade for destruction. Also ALL aoe specs for lock don’t benefit from the ring in any guise. I have a 405 crafted, simmed and it was like 2k less than it and that’s absolutely ridiculous.

It’s probably already mandatory for M+ healers moving forward (except for dungeons where it will ninja pull badly), so Blizzard will need to nerf the ring in 10.1 anyways.

Please look up borrowed power before triple posting nonsense.

Oh, I’ve only seen DPS effects so far. What do healers get?

Healers can use two or three DPS stones and it becomes 20% of our damage. That’s what is going to be unreplaceable in 10.1.

Did the upgrade to the stone’s stats apply to all stones or do we need to create new ones.

I can’t remember what my stones were doing before and compare it to after the hotfix.

Next time you change stuff please refund the upgrades and restore the gems to 411.

Thanks,

This is a pretty dangerous precedent - it’s an actively developed game - what’s next? Game time reimbursement when your class has tuning?
