Just put secondary stats on the ring and problem is solved. It’s not that complicated. Give players a choice of base rings when completing ring quest with like 500 or 600 of the various secondary stat combos. (500 haste and 500 crit, etc)
Alll of my rings are 415. I’d lose over 1000-1200 secondary stats using the new ring. It’s just not worth it.
then don’t use it - you have time to farm for rep or cosmetics or gear for your alts now.
just gotta give it like half of one secondary stat equivalent to the rings ilvl and its less trash
That’d make too much sense.
So instead, they’re going to knee-jerk buff the ever loving crap out of the effects so it ends up being wildly OP.
Add secondary stats like normal ring.
Keep its effects.
This defaults it to BiS, as was their intention.
Next season disable gems.
Ring maintains secondary stats so the slot doesn’t end up as a dead slot, and can be used and replaced easily next tier.
Wipes sweat off forehead
Man that was hard
I’m here for it.
yes and then you will have people complaining about being FORCED to get it on their alts. I much prefer it as it is.
I mean you can get that ring fully slotted in under an hour, and fully upgraded relatively quickly to
Blizzard have already stated their intent is for it to be BIS for everyone until Aberrus, meaning if it isn’t they’ll just buff it until it is. The only question is do you want it to be BIS because its a well rounded item that has a high stat budget alongside some minor procs, or because it has busted random damage procs that you can’t feel or do anything with.
Personally I’d rather this thing had stats on it so it didn’t feel like a downgrade compared to my 418 socket ring, especially as a caster who sorely misses the loss of haste.
did they say everyone or most everyone?
Everyone, it was in the interview from a couple days ago.
My main was 421 ilvl before I put the ring on, it’s an upgrade in ST because one of the gem combos is currently working off a potentially bugged interaction, so in a way they’ve already made it BIS (For ST at least). However, as I said I’m losing a full ring’s worth of secondary stats which feels awful with how much secondaries jewellery has and how important those secondaries are for the feel of my spec.
Thats not the discussion. I have it slotted and upgraded. Read the post. It’s a massive dps loss without secondary stats
You mean how I responded to you like this?
Which is agreeing with, and expanding upon what you said in the OP?
While this:
Isn’t even directed at you, and in fact aimed at the post above mine making it applicable to what they said :
Since I am directly addressing their comment about people being forced, not being so bad due to how quickly of acquisition the ring and upgrades are.
I hope they don’t. I don’t wan to grind a ring for every one of my alts. It was supposed to be for solo players.
Yeah seems like a no brainer given they want it to be BiS for everyone per their design intent.
Fiddling with the stones seems like a lot more work.
You guys talk like these developers know what they are doing. They don’t play this game.
i think stam/primary stat would be nice
If they add stats, the ring will be OP for the rest of the expansion.
