Requesting Elemental Rings for Patch 0.3.0
|
For Content Patch 0.3.0, I urge GGG to add common low-level rings that adds elemental flat damage to attacks as we only have Iron Ring for physical flat damage. I imagine elemental builds would enjoy flat damage bonuses early in the campaign. As for new endgame ring, bring back the Opal Ring.
Garnet Ring Red, Common Level: 8 Modifier: Adds 3 to 5 Fire Damage to Attacks Aquamarine Ring Blue, Common Level: 12 Modifier: Adds 3 to 5 Cold Damage to Attacks Citrine Ring Yellow, Common Level: 16 Modifier: Adds 3 to 5 Lightning Damage to Attacks Opal Ring White, Common Level: 80 Modifier: 15-25% Increased Elemental Damage Last edited by CharlesJT#7681 on Aug 12, 2025, 9:09:06 PM Last bumped on Aug 13, 2025, 9:55:54 AM

I'm I the only one that wants more ring options?

They will probably add Synth bases which will cover these. That amount of increase is also a bit conservative. Something like 15-20% is pretty reasonable.
Not terribly hyped for exactly this idea because it's just % damage increases nothing big. Stuff like + to charges and % attributes are much more hype additions |

" As the rings are low-level, need to keep the damage increase fairly modest. Last edited by CharlesJT#7681 on Aug 8, 2025, 8:57:00 AM

I agree that there should be more caster based rings, as well as caster based modifiers in general.
However, damage type increase is better than its penetration as a generally useful bonus. If you are playing a dedicated element build with exposure and according curse you quickly get to a state where penetration does not give you anything (enemy resistances are reduced to negative levels already), while damage increase would still be useful. There should also be a ring for elemental damage increase for hybrid builds, if needed for balance - with slightly lower values than dedicated element ones.

" +1 Agreed, damage type increase is better than its penetration and updated. I also added low-level diamond ring for hybrid builds. Last edited by CharlesJT#7681 on Aug 8, 2025, 8:52:20 AM

Hope to see a few more ring options added in 0.3.0.

increases already exist on rings and they range higher than 15-20. 15-20 is the middle ground, 30-35 is the highest you can get on a rare (before using quality currency)
so yeah, 3-5% is too small guys, and pen would actually better in cases where you need it to reduce enemy to 0 resist, it turns into a more damage modifier what about flat damage? add elemental rings that give small flat damage bonuses? they are generally more useful because getting more base damage to scale from allows a bit more headroom with what you use as a weapon or usually just adds more damage than generic increase I think there is only Iron Ring right now for phys damage, I imagine elemental builds would love some flat damage rings early or when they are using some unique weapon maybe. would be cool if on a run you got lucky and got 2 then just started freezing/igniting/shocking all the weaker mobs Last edited by AverBeg7#1689 on Aug 9, 2025, 11:54:41 AM

" +1 Completely agree. Updated OP with elemental flat damage rings to be the counterpart to the iron ring. Last edited by CharlesJT#7681 on Aug 9, 2025, 12:13:12 PM

Rings with elemental damage added to attacks also can be added, I agree.
However, they don't anything for pure casters, so rings with base that increases fire / cold / lightning / chaos / elemental damage should be added too. That would be even better than spell damage since such rings can be used by some attack builds too. Last edited by Volsal#8024 on Aug 9, 2025, 1:29:32 PM
