Best ring for pure int mage

[dubvballer]

Hey I was just wondering what guys thought the best ring for pure int mages is. I wanna buy one but theres so many to decide from that I thought all you number crunching machines could let me know what the best one is.

Thanks,

The one that gives 1 h/s 3 m/s and 4 damage not sure if the stats are correctly but thats the best I have seen at least for my style of play.

That is the Fine Crystal Ring of Life, and I agree it's the best offensive ring until level 55, where with full Mega Mage gear you will have over 40 M/s and really don't need more. So at level 55, the best offensive ring becomes either the Champion's Fine Crystal Ring (2% Crit, 2 M/s, 4 damage) or the Fine Crystal Ring of Bravery (1% Crit, 2 M/s, 5 damage). My favorite defensive ring is the Fine Silver Band of Technique (1% Dodge, 20 mana, 5 armor). I switch between my offensive and defensive ring depending on the situation and party composition.

Thanks for the heads up. I haven't check the rings for a while I am thinking of buying a new one.

Fine Crystal Ring of Bravery is the one i use for my full int mage. Thats what I would reccommend anyways!

I experimented with many rings, and decided to put 67points in dex to be able te equip the lv20 dex rings. I currently use the 'Fine golden band of technique' (1dodge, 9 armor= 142 armor with mm set). For offense, I equip the 'Fine platinum band of bravery' (1 crit, 11 dmg).

I read a lot about the relation between int and spell dmg, but am still not 100% clear on this one. Does anyone else think putting 67 in dex is worth the tradeoff, or should I go pure int again? <looking at Royce>
I only tested a little, but I can't seem to spot much difference in spell dmg or time needed to clear a lvl, when soloing. I'm talking pve only here.

I am in the process of quantifying the stat driven skill effect again (I did it before, but the rebalance changed a few things). So for now, I'm still saying pure Int is better for overall AOE damage and healing power, but some dex is fine for higher single target damage (and the ability to equip Dex rings). When I get enough data, I will be posting it ;)

Cool, thx! I will be on the lookout for your post.

Edit: Since everybody around here knows that Royce is always right, I decided to do some more tests. I did lots of timed runs with both configs (pure int and int/67dex. And with offense rings for both configs). Pure int wins it by a hair. Furthermore, with the insane 45m/s regen rate, the magic shield seems at a whole new level. Both defence and offense rings mentioned by Royce make an impressive armor or dps config possible. I for one, am back to full int (for now anyway).

I'll take my Champion's Fine Platinum Band (2% crit, 10 damage), or Find Platinum Band of Bravery(1% crit, 11 damage).

Since hit seems to be capped at around 85% no matter how high your hit rating goes, i don't think Magician's Fine Platinum Band is too hot. I could be wrong because i'm mostly int with 100-120 dex so i have over 100 hit rating.
