Underdark Rings - Please use the correct ones

I went into Dwarven Gods Skirmish last night on my tank. Now I could not hold aggro for the life of me because the SW in there had two 142 rings that increase threat as you move. Now, why would a SW want those rings? Seriously look at the ring and what it gives you for a bonus and if it makes no sense don't equip it.

For instance, I have the 142 Ring of Rising Deflection and 142 Ring of Fortress on my GF and both of those make sense for a Tank. Now if I had the Ring of Precision +4 but was setup to tank content I hope somebody would send me a tell and let me know that I had the wrong gear.

When I did the kind thing and informed the player the reason they kept dying was because they were using rings for tanks that causes aggro. I got a nice nasty message back from said player telling me to mind my own business. After that I simply let him dye to teach him a lesson, not once but 3x. I mean all the adds were going to him with those super threat rings. Hopefully he learned his lesson, don't run around with Undeardark rings that don't make sense for you class as it can kill you.

Yes, I salvaged so many 142 rings I wanted so bad since they would raise my gear level, but just weren't for my build

I'd be thrilled to be wearing any 142 ring at this point.....first world problems.

I got one 142 for my main got lucky getting two for my tank. I see plenty of them but usually the ones that generate threat when moving, why would anyone other than the tank want that and even as a tank, I prefer the defense and deflect rings. I'm farming for the defense ring with both of my guys. Once I get that I will start to farm for the ring of recovery for my main. Problem for me is getting gold in PoM.

Hello fellas,

Quick question. In my Hunter Ranger I got a 137 prec ring and one 140 ring of cowardice. I was trying to change that 140 ring for another 137 prec ring but I'm unable to do it. I can unequip the 140 and put it in the bag, but when I select the new 137 prec ring, I can't equip it in the hand were the 140 was equiped.

Is this intended? I know it should reduce my item level but I'm in my 2,370's so is not that changing the ring will change my Tier.

What do you guys think? is this a bug or intended?

Meanwhile I'm farming to see if I can get a better ring to change that 140 ring of cowardice for another precision ring.

Thanks for your input.

You should get the Precision and Power rings both 142 or 145. The other rings have only one enchantment slot and lower increase for stats. If you look in game under collections for the Under Dark ring you will see where they drop.

I know I need the Recovery ring for my main but I have not gotten the 142 one yet.

Thanks for the reply. That clarify why I was unable to equip the second ring. There's nothing inside the game that provide that information. Now it makes sence.

Thank you both for the information. Now I'll change the Ring of Cowardice for a Ring of Power and keep grinding up for better ones.

You will be spending much time with Demo. Power and Crit both drop in those fights. I got my 142 first time in there due to getting a gold. I was like OMG yes....LOL...

Just like my 142's for my tank, got one in Demo, another gold and one in Dwarven God with also a gold ranking.

The other night on my HR was running demo and it was bad, one of the worst run I've seen. Surprisingly I got demos belt and a ring of brutality 4.

When I did the kind thing and informed the player the reason they kept dying was because they were using rings for tanks that causes aggro. I got a nice nasty message back from said player telling me to mind my own business. After that I simply let him dye to teach him a lesson, not once but 3x. I mean all the adds were going to him with those super threat rings. Hopefully he learned his lesson, don't run around with Undeardark rings that don't make sense for you class as it can kill you.

Haha. Very similarly I see so many DPS classes using that giant companion from the zen store (cannot remember the name but is super tall and has an axe I believe). The bonus has a chance to increase threat by 15%. Why would you want this? The answer is simply because it looks cool. I'm definitely into making my character aesthetically pleasing so I somewhat get it, but not at the expense of my effectiveness.

Regarding your ring issue. They probably just looked at ilvl and figure more ilvl = better character.

Yeah I know but when a character with almost 1K less in IL beats you and that character has 2 healing spells slotted for the run you better respec and re-gear your character.
