I genuienly don’t understand the point of this ring. If any class or spec uses it right now, please explain why and provide some numbers if possible, because I can’t imagine it.
If I would equip the new ring right now, I would LOSE around 4000 of my strongest secondary stats, even though its item level is 6 levels higher than my current crafted ring.
In exchange I would receive a negligible healing proc, a tiny amount of stamina and a thunder proc that does a measly 1,2% of my damage and doesn’t even have an impressive animation. Why doesn’t lightning strike down from the sky like crazy when it procs?
This new ring should be SUPERB immediately when you pick it up. Every player should be impressed by it the moment they see it. Where is your creative COURAGE? How can you implement such an underwhelming piece of equipment? Did you really not foresee that players would be completely disappointed by it?
Jokes set aside, you can slowly upgrade with the coming weeks and better gems into the sockets. It may not be as good now but it could become better so hold onto it.
Ehhhh… I’m not actually that mad about the ilvl timegate. It’s the lack of gems to make the items actually good on launch.
At best it’s a paperweight / savings someone some crests, at worst it’s a noob trap which less enfranchised players are going to equip without knowing it’s currently a paperweight.
The currently available gems dont cut it. From my Mains perspective, I either replace a 639 Key to the unseeming or a 636 crafted ring. Both far exceed secondary stats value.
Once we c an get the all secondary and mastery gem, I will likely swap out the crafted ring.
Funny thing, the event table shows the all stats gem as reward for the wird event. But doing the event doesnt give it and it keeps showing the gem as reward. Not sure if bug.
There should be a full questline available right now that allows you to unlock all of the gems at your own pace without timegating. They can do the itemlevel timegating if they really feel the need to (I don’t see the need for it) but the gems should be unlockable NOW.
