Just won 12 of 12 played Strongholds matches and got my new PvP rings:



Is it possible to Black Ice Shape those new PvP rings?

    Yes it is, but I can't tell you how. How did you play 12 stronghold matches and not have a stroke?

    You really ask a MMO player if he got a stroke after 5h playing a new content?

    I got it from Strongholds Outfitter (Marketplace rank 3+).

    You call yourself an MMO player and dont know how to look your question up ingame?

    As a stroke prevention, i stopped playing after the 1st guild pvp ;)

    Any of the jewelry even worth it since they only have one enchant slot?

    Definetely it worth it - because of tenacity

    I state that Tenacity itself gives me more defense that any R12 defense enchantment would give.
    But it depends on build and gamestyle, so one can get Tenacity better and other will find defense slot more valuable.

    Hey Beat, are you going all in on PVP gear and Jewelry, or mixing it up?

    I am going to wear:
    • PvP Armor set (Head + Armor + Gloves + Feet)
    • PvP rings
    • Lostmauth set
    I think that Lostmauth bonus is more valuable than additional Tenacity, but It is futher debatable.

    Why would you want the pvp ring? for Tenancity? I wonder if the tenacity outweights the two slot rings we currently use....

    Would probably depend on whether the overall percentage increase of defensive Tenacity parameters from the two rings, actually outweighs the many hundreds of points increase in whatever stat you've chosen through two enchants...

    ...but whatever the case, I don't think there's actually that much of a difference. I think it's probably safe to say that it's a choice between maybe 3~5% more tenacity, or 3~5% more something else.

    ...as for the neck.. no contest. AP artifacts would outweigh the importance of everything else.

    (ps) Incidentally, for that reason, I think it would be a good idea to remove the 4%/3s AP increase from the LostM neck. Having the set effect of LostM as well as the AP gain, is just too much IMO.



    Stop making excuses. Be a man.
    If you know something to be broken, stop using it.
    Otherwise, you've got no right to be speaking of 'balance.'

    Since I got my rings and have to wait until Marketplace 4 a few more days, I play Strongholds Siege less right now.
    At 15th won match (from 15 played) I got 1st time 2 banners, instead of 3. Because of won the match with small advantage (6k:4k).

    I won so much matches in so short time, because participated in every single Alpha match (and preview match aswell).
    I gave a big feedback, but not all my complains was included. I am still happy I could test and help (even if at small impact).

    Because my knowledge advantage will end soon, as players begins understanding basic tactics, I will propably loose soon and then loose much more frequently, but Alpha testing still gave me a really good advantage. The information and practice. Really valuable, but so underestimated values.

    Has anyone been able to upgrade their new SH PvP armor through the black ice shaping?
