Iron rings

I think iron rings need to be buffed. Given the choice, I don't think anyone would choose 1-4 physical damage over some resistance, mana or life. I'm not saying a damage boost of 1-4 is useless; at the VERY beginning of the game it is useful. It does slowly become useless relative to other stats you can have on a ring.

Just ask yourself this: if you could craft the perfect ring, what prefix would you have on it? I bet the sheer majority of you would NOT make it an iron ring.

Anybody else feel the same or am I missing something?

As a Facebreaker user, I would definitely use Iron Rings if I ever found one with solid stats comparable to my current rings.

You can just as easily find a Prismatic or Coral with a higher Phys Dmg roll than an Iron Ring.

And is there a reason why I can't roll max physical damage on an Iron Ring? Didn't think so.

You can also have a high phys dmg roll on an iron ring.

Why not both?

True, but I'd rather the defensive stats over 1-4Phys Dmg. Compared to the higher explicit phys dmg rolls, 1-4 seems insignificant imo..

True you can roll physical damage on an iron ring but the sheer majority of people don't use Facebreakers. Sod's law that a minority spoke up before the rest. Even still, would you not agree that relative to other rings for the majority of the population, the iron ring is inferior?

I would change them to +X% to dual wield/twohand melee block chance.
It would really help a lot.
Right now only shields have good block chance, and its really hard to sustain survivability on melee.

I use iron rings, they add quite a lot of damage with all your +physical modifiers.
I think they do need a minor buff though. Maybe randomise them like other rings.
Minimum goes from 1 - 2 and maximum goes from 4 - 8. That alone would make them very viable.

As I understand it, except for Facebreaker scaling, the +Phys Dmg on Rings are unaffected by physical damage modifiers... At least that's what I heard.
