Did you even read the article put out or…? Its for less than a patch and is probably more of a power boost meant to help guilds that are struggling to get AOTC or help people struggling to get KSM to get the damage they need. As long as the power combos aren’t insanely busted its gonna be replaced in the next patch with a regular ring.

Yeah replaced replaced and replaced.
Borrowed power trope 101.
If they want to help people get AOTC… they could just nerf encounters

THis is from a blue in the 10.0.7 PTR

It is an open world item because there will be no raid or new pvp season in the patch .
It’s for a piece of open world gear and anyone doing Heroic Raid most likely already has an item level above what the ring gives.
It is going to be replaced like all of your gear including this forum toon’s if you actually play it’s gear is going to be replaced as you level up .
So I’m going to assume that you think all gear is borrowed power ? Because if 1 piece is then all pieces are.

Im not a fan of a likely bis item being tied to content that has habitually been a write off.
It seems unnecessary and desperate. Like they are trying to find a big bribe but no so big they bleed subs like shadow lands and conduits.

think OP’s talking about the upcoming new ring with special power gems for it.
im not super excited for it but it could be much worse. at least its just one slot heh
needed something to crush the good ol’ “free” assembly ring that sims way too good for what it is anyways.
Probably not bis . It is a ring that fall between mid level raid bosses (tier bosses) and Raz in heroic.
It is obtained by doing some quests. Gems are found in a mini dungeon that uses keys to open doors. YOu get the first 6 questing and more by killing rares.
10.0.7 is a minor patch with some questing thrown in don’t expect anything major a non new raid/pvp season patch .

It scales to 424. It might be beaten by the fire ring but its not likely to be anything but a bis.
I don’t see the issue the ring looks to be content for current patch while we wait for next season where we’ll be getting some 250 or 260 gear that will if not outclass it compete with it in 10.1
We’re already out of hall of fame so the only content where that ring might be “required” would be rating pushes in m+ and pvp which is a concern, but seems like a minor one since this is basically just another grind for an advantage going into next season rather then a required bis in current season.
If they are going to do this kind of thing this seems to be the way to do it.

I doubt it will be bis because even if it scales to 414 when Season 2 comes out mid spring /early summer it is going to be eventually replaced by new raid or pvp gear.
So it doesn’t make sense that it would be anyone’s except maybe people doing open world contents bis
Its 424 with extremely powerful dmg and survival procs… the fire ring and it will be everyones bis.
Its a timegated rng piece of trash.

It will be 224 possibly with bonus effects it more then likely will be bis and worth doing if you are still doing stuff at this point in the patch.
That said it also seems to be content meant for current patch that will function more as an indirect nerf to current content more then some choreghast required grind that its being made out to be.
What is time gated about it ?
1: you quest you get ring
2: Kill rares /open chests get keys go into vault kill what is there open vault doors go in kill if needed loot stuff and loot chests in room that is how I got mine on the ptr .
Maybe there is a time gate to killing rares to get keys but they gave the first 6 as part of a quest and I got 2 gems from that .
Looks more like you are trying to find any reason to complain

You get it off rares randomly to do something repeatedly to buy rng gems to repeat till bis…

THis is a mmo are you new to the genre .
Grinding has been a part of the game since it first came out.
THere will always be a grind some good some bad and to be honest this one is not looking that bad .
So I take it that it’s a yes you are trying to find any reason to complain .

It hasn’t been for wow… you can clear molten core at level 58 with greens. You are now actively trying to rewrite history to excuse torghast 2 electro boogaloo.
Just stop…
You can go play progression quest if you want that.

Seems more like Horrific Visions than Torghast to me.

I don’t see the part where I have to spend gold to use the resources that are timegated weekly and also added on each patch so that I have to repeatedly spend gold to use the same item until the end of the expansion. I see a ring that can drop from content that I can do that can feasibly be ignored because secondary stats are a pretty big deal. Sims will tell me what I need to grind and if the content is fun I’ll do it but I’ve gotten most of my goals this patch so I won’t sweat it if its not fun.
This looks like a farming mechagon before eternal palace type upgrade which isn’t a huge deal.

Did you happen to read the ptr post on it where the CM compares the ring and gems to the Mechagon trinket you get from questing .
Isn’t that what an mmorpg is ?
YOu quest and do dungeons , raids and pvp in order to progress your power and if you want more power you grind those things over and over .
Wasn’t there an attunement back in Vanilla and Classic Vanilla where one had to grind attunement just in order to get into Molten core .
And you say there hasn’t been for wow .
Now look who is rewriting history.
