You had an opportunity to remedy a mistake in vanilla and instead you opted to repeat it.
Everything you need to know about why withholding this ring is stupid, can be found in this thread…
What the hell is the point of withholding this ring for so long that it’s obsolete by the time anyone can purchase it? Every single other vendor item is being specifically released when they are on par with raid content… except this one ring?
Dont even bother releasing it. Just delete it from the game. By then, nobody will care.
Spell pen stat came out day 1 of classic … with upgraded PvP gear, and updated Tier 1, and updated mage talents … which they didn’t seem to have a problem with.
Upgraded Rank 14 weapons were added AFTER this ring was added, yet we have those.
Talents giving some classes massive amounts of resistance were added after AV was released, hence the ring. Those talents exist, the ring doesnt.
5% … and only versus targets that have resistance.
In PvE there are currently two bosses that have shadow resist; lucifron and gehennas … and i’m pretty sure this ring wont be breaking such laughable encounters.
I looked up the Mage T1 set and you get 27 shadow resistance, add in 5 MR enchant for cloak and 5 MR argent dawn shoulder enchant that’s 37 shadow resistance that most people could have right now
You give a range of 50-100 … then magically increase that to 115 … then you do some actual math and get 46, and claim you were right all along? Now I’m just confused.
mage t1:
“(5) Set : [Decreases the magical resistances of your spell targets by 10.]”
mage talent that exists in class, but was added AFTER this ring was added:
“Reduces your target’s resistance to all your spells by 10 and reduces the threat caused by your Arcane spells by 40%.”
