Aug 27 Beta Poll (0.9.1) - Rings

Which ring do you use most often? Are certain rings mandatory? Are others useless?

Basalt Bands. Need that accuracy yo'

I'm not excited when I find a blue or rare ring.

99% of the time, mods are rather boring, or witch (caster) oriented.

jewelery (and other gear) seems to favor spell casting way too much: + elemental damage, +cast speed, + spell damage — they can all add up to like +30–60% DPS on just 1 item!

Non-spell casters only get like 10% attack speed (and accuracy, which just makes the DPS suck less)... what's with that?


With regards to the poll though... it totally depends on the class you run, the build you run, and the level of the player — you can't get power stones until late in the game for instance, while basalt bands are very common from the start of the game. Due to those factors, I don't see how anyuseful information can be obtained from the poll.

Well currently it shows that no-one bothers with the gold braid or ruby band, and rightfully so

I'd love to see more diverse mods on rings, like +charge gain for bottles with different requirements, like being frozen/chilled/burned/zapped

Chance for uninterrupted attacks. Gain a power charge when you run out of energy shield. Increased movement speed while below x life

Something that makes jewellery stand out from other gear, especially since it drops so little, it has to be kind of, awesome.

I'm currently using spell crit, to buff my cold spells :>

This seems kinda silly considering it depends on what class/spec I'm currently playing. For example, I don't care what the base mod is for my mace/shield Templar provided I can find a Crusher ring.

Arent you missing some, like:

% to rarity/quantity
Increased attack speed
Faster cast rate

At the moment with my ranger ias and % to rarity is the prefered ones :)

the one with the overall better stats~

For a lvl 61 marauder is mana leech the only option.

Maelstrom of Chaos monsters of lvl54 or higher take 10+ hits to kill.

I have 208 mana and executing one skill takes 47-56 mana...

The only way to be able to kill stuff in chaos mode is to stack mana leech (twice 1% from rings + twice 1% from passive).
