BTW this is a poor argument – the Game director said this ring was intended to be an upgrade for everyone, and replaced by high-end players in S2 (this implies they would be wearing it prior to S2). So those players are just showing the devs they’re way off the mark for their intention.

how do you know ?

did he say absolutely everyone or for most ?

It seems fine I hope they buff the ring a little bit so it’s maybe a 1-2% overall increase to power vs other rings. That way it still feels optional but isn’t useless either the quests to get the stuff are pretty fun as well

It’s a repeat of Season 2 in Shadow Lands, then they botched it Season 3 cause nobody liked it. YET Here we are AGAin… THEY never LISTEN…

Gear from VotI is literally better than the ring.

Free 405 ring for alts. Not useless unless you don’t do alts.

Also, all of this stuff is entirely optional.

I haven’t really done much with the ring yet but it seems very underwhelming at the moment. On my lock i got a few stones, one that increased my speed while moving, one that gave me a frost barrier, and one that increased my auto attack damage sometimes.

Wow much good, might have a serious contender for replacing a 343 gladiators signet for dps.

There is one good combo for dps, and it’s good because its effectively double dipping off itself and likely unintended. At 424 the Blood + Twilight + Arcane combo is BIS for every single DPS spec.

And even besides that, I don’t want to give up 700 haste for random damage procs I can’t feel or control on my Shadow Priest which direly needs haste to feel good to play…

Even if it’s an upgrade I don’t wanna use it, which seems like a design fail to me.

Officially unsubbed now. Not just becasue of the ring just because the patch is just boring

Trinkets should not even have an iLVL given how some lower iLVL ones outperform some higher ones by a fair margin, and that’s not even talking about tank or healer trinkets and specific on use trinkets that don’t really even add power.

I have it at 424 and my 418 crafted ring sims 4k DPS higher.

Not BIS for BM hunter. SIMS 4k lower

So they created an entire patch for alts since the forbidden reach is literally just stuff for alts. Does absolutely nothing for a main character 410 item level +

Nightly build or weekly? Weekly doesn’t have the bug implemented. Given as an SP it manages to be an upgrade over 1300 haste and mastery I’d be surprised if it wasn’t for a BM hunter which has less stat scaling overall.

Obviously some specs have fire damage ring to contend with, and you might need to shuffle your embellishments around, but that combo is, at least on ST, pretty dumb because of the bug.

They said it would be and if not, they’d buff it.
I think it just wasn’t properly tested if there are discrepancies.

5 minute fight. Ring just did 700k dps overall for one stone and the other two were like 200k. Full ST build

On the nightly SimC build or the weekly one? One is up to date and one isn’t because the bug was only put into SimC last night.

I know it got a 25% buff right before it released and its still bad. Until they add secondary stats its not going to be that good and they’ll fix the bug

Ill bet they’ll do more changes.
