Let’s discuss Ring of Arcana
I thought we could try start some weekly discussions of various items. So let’s start with Ring of Arcana and see how it goes. What are some of your favorite ways of using it? Questions on how it behaves? Over- or underpowered? Remember that it also amplify curses which can be pretty interesting.
For my money, Ring of Arcana is the best use of a maxed out Ring of Wealth. A +19 and a +11 ring boosts glyphs and enchantments by 17300%. This means glyph of Stone or Viscosity eliminates all physical damage, glyph of Thorns deals over a 1000 damage and glyph of Flow gives you movement speed of over 1000 per turn in water. At the same time, Grim weapons execute any non-boss at first hit, Vampyric fully heals at any hit, Projecting gives you 174 range (including around corners) and Shocking deals 2000+ damage in the area of effect (but not to the main target - go after the larvae).
Kinetic is also cool with 4000+ damage stored, but since it doesn’t keep building, it only helps you with every other enemy.
I think the theoretical max is a +21 RoW (+4 from Imp, reforge twice + 15 SoU) which would give you +12 equipment. Combined with Rogue’s Enhanced Rings talent, you should be able to get effectively a +37 ring (both rings upgrade each other when worn together) which would give you a 39000% boost.
