For starters the Talisman is an Amulet, not a ring thus comparison upon the others will produce inconclusive data. With Archon Ring VS Mythic ring I would suggest the the Archon ring for the mage due to near stats and cost effectiveness. I apologise for not being able to say which particular Archon but you can simply scroll through and find the best one.

Perfect blood ruby of shuyal = 30 STR, 30 DEX, 45 INT & 3.6DMG
Perfect Archon Ring of Brutality = 22 STR, 56 INT, 3.0 DMG + 3,5% Crit

With Archon i lose 8 STR, 30 DEX and 197hp, dmg and dps decreases by 0,2 only in terms of crit it adds around 2,5%.

I prefer the old myth ring ANYDAY over archon rings as a mage, rogues and warriors is a different story.

Tailsman can't be compared to those two as they're not the same type of equipment. :)
I'm pretty sure mythic ring provides more survivability than archon while archon gives a heck lot more dmg through its 2.5% extra dmg shown offscreen.
Really depends on what your playing orientation is leaning towards :) pvp vs pve? for example.

Actually I tried archon and went right back to the Ruby as a Rogue but since getting Arcane Ring I haven't looked back... Ruby give more health which is pretty important these days.

I guess I'm a DMG junkie, so I opt for the Archon of Potency.

I don't think that the Ruby is the difference between surviving a direct hit from a Shaman or Scorn in elite Tindirin, so, to me at least, better to kill them faster than have some extra HP. As it stands with the Archon, I have about 3.4k HP and I rarely survive a direct hit from a Shaman or Scorn (only when I'm inside veil).

In the event that I am parking (yes, my Rogue actually does that a lot), I use a STR based Archon for the +2.5% armor and go decked out with Magma Blades of Brutality (for the stun on smaller mobs), Spirit Of Will helm and armor all with Life Gems. With this loadout, I hit 4.2k HP, and 2.4k armor inside my veil with Ironbite.

You should consider at least owning one of the STR based Archons. It may seem counter-productive, but the HP and Armor can offset the loss in DMG/Mana if the rest of your gear is solid.

I'm the opposite of Kali. I'll take blood ruby for elites every time, unless it's for a leaderboard speed run. And for those now, you usually need arcane (so sad, but true), however archon is the next best thing.

I'm such a junkie, I keep the Archon equipped, even with my Lep loadout....

It's.....horrifically expensive and tedious to acquire...
Get an arcane shard, get the dragonite bar and some recipe....I don't really remember xD

I use a "Elondrian Ring of Fitness (int version)" with +6int (I'm a mage and uses the int stat version) has (slightly) better stats than the purple glow archon ring (forgot the name...) at lvl41 (+6int)

its also a bit cheaper than archons (last i checked was about 2 weeks ago)

That same elon. ring (i use) when compared to the +9int mythic ring, it shows a difference of (when mythic ring is compared to elon. ring stats)
more dex and str, but decrease in int stats, also has less armor (51 less)
