The Design Process of my Ring : Valyrium

Stun Immunity is FAR better than Stun based on ES. You still can get hit by huge hits which will take big chunk of your ES, and still be stunned. Not that this will happen often, but sometimes it could be enough to get killed. So that is a factor.
This is not a straightforwad upgrade compared to chayula. Different aproach, different cost associated, and probably different rarity.

First of all good job for implementing your item and leaving your mark in the game.

Second do you know the rarity tier it belongs to?

Third the ring while simple in design unfortunately is a straightforwad upgrade compared to chayula, instant BiS for any CI/LL build so basically every ES based build. Directly outperforming it in almost any situation (pvp excluded)

Ring gives 15 to 45 flat es, ES based stun threshold (main attribute) and -15 to -10 total res (irrelevant)

Chayula gives 10 to 16 all stats, stun immunity (main attribute), 30% IIR (irrelevant), 20% reduced max life (irrelevant)

That extra flat ES while providing basically what chayula is used for + freeing up the much more important amulet slot are simply too many upsides compared to the latter with virtually no downside (that it if you are indeed looking to solve your stun issues in you character). Its utility and power and lack of downsides make it istant BiS and thats bad design in the end.

I play a lot of es builds and it was always a hassle that you are basically forced to wear an eye of chayula. The only alternative is "Bastion Of Hope" if you play a guardian. It works nice with a pledge of hands and the "Whirling Barrier" notable and a rumis.

But finally having a real competitor to eoc is really nice. Was there a time where Valyrium were more similiar to auxium like that stun threshold is based on a percentage of energy shield? Or mabye even on a es+life for hybrid chars? Would make sense because your es pool is usually larger then your life pool.

BIS for CI/LL - LOL you sir are out of your mind.
you can not compare full immunity to increase threshold base on the es. the -40% cold is a pain, cause while you may think its nothing, go for minus res map with ele weakness and then tell me the same.
Also stun threshold means shit if you get few hits that will lower your es, and before the regen kick in you may get stunlocked very easly. Dont forget that you may corrupt the amu (eye) for + 1 curse for example.
Overall the rings is nice and I think it will find it place in many builds, but this will never replace eye of chayula as a BIS item for stun problem

still this does not replace eye of chayula.

its good tho, but high threshold will never beat full immunity.
