I think their was an issue where you could get the set bonus by having on 2 rings and 1 other piece and i bet that it was easier just to limit 1 ring equipped at a time then make another change. Although i doubt it was intended for people to wear 2 rings of xvim at a time.
Why not? You're not allowed to wear two xvim rings for some reason? My SW is wearing two xvim rings currently (and has the full set as well).
As a lazy way to fix the set bonus tbh it seems. It doesn't really bother me though, I guess it wouldn't with the dragon slayer ring though which has an offense slot. We'll have to wait for the patch to see how it really affects you. My guess was that ones wearing 2 already wouldn't be affected, but they could also unequip one too. I just felt that it wasn't really worth the effort in doing so for something pretty petty.
Well, this stinks.
I loved having those two Defence Slots open, along with the nice Defensive Stats from the Rings. It was a decent way to add some heft to otherwise squishy DPS toons. And it wasn't like they were game-breaking or hopelessly OP.

Yep - how darned hard would it have been to not allow two rings to count as part of the 3-item set? Doesn't seem like that big of a programming challenge to me - must have one of each specific item to get the set bonus - duh! :mad:

Yes this is what I would have preferred. I really don't know why they didn't do it this way.
That's really crappy move from devs, actually :mad: Hardly dunno there is no way to fix that. At least make them salvageables, so I can salvage this "%"· :mad: So it doesn't work with 2 rings? No prob, if I want set to work I will put only one, as simply as that, but if I want to wear only rings... wtf?
Well, at least they had the decency to unbind not only the one extra Ring, but the whole Set (at least when I swapped out the Neck piece to try on a Fashion item, it was Unbound).

this was a really crappy move by the devs if your punishing us for making more than one to wear for the attributes you gave the rings most could care less about the set bonus ability and by saying you can only wear one you may as well say we can only wear one of any ring at all.:mad:
i don't know about other classes, but the set bonus is pretty awesome for cw's. When combined with 'eye of the storm', what was a small hit on 'might of the slayer' turns CRITICAL
I'm running an Augment Pet, so I just swapped out the Xvim Ring with the Dragon Ring. No muss, no fuss, no loss.

Dragon ring has slightly better stats than the xvim anyway, doesn't it?

Im a little by this change.. I wasnt even using the xvim set bonus, but I did like throwing two of them on sub 60s becuase A, its something I can make and B, its a set it and forget it.
It did prompt me to buy a couple ancient rings this morning though..
Why not fix the original issue, having two of these sub 60 wasnt the issue. Just a little annoying issue honestly.

It all depends on what you're looking for.
Myself, it was all about the Defence Slot.
Add a Rank 7 Dark Enchant in each, and BOOM, +370 Lifesteal (thats in addtion to the 370 from the Neck and Belt and the 185 from my Armour. What can I say? I like me some Lifesteal )
