The test server is more fun than the real game.

Tamas Ring was certainly lovely when stat rings only went up to 5. And even up to the point where +6 stat rings were added. But... I think the ring's time has passed since it's not really a space saver anymore because there are many superior options out there.

Three mage jobs, one melee job.... my choice was obvious. I got a tamas ring and never looked back.
There's a lot more useful rings for melee job than mages I fine. At least the ones I play. I absolutely detest HP to MP gear. Only reason I own a bifrost ring is because some one gave to me for WHM.

Rajas does more for ... pretty much every melee in some way than tamas will ever do for 3 mages. This was true at 75 cap, still true at 90 cap.

Tamas is rubbish. Tamas was always rubbish. Rajas is just about surgically attached to your finger if you're swinging a weapon.

You made a poor decision.

Rajas really isn't as good as people make it out to be. Only 2~5 Dex and Str. Subtle blow can kiss my ass for accuracy buffs or damage buffs, and store tp should never be enough of an issue if you're meleeing correctly. Especially as a dancer or thief or anything else that unrelentingly pounds on a target.


That being said, I would use it on Samurai, if I used it as more than a sub job.

Except 5STR and 5DEX in a ring slot does more for you than 7DEX or 7STR in the same slot in nearly every imaginable situation on every imaginable melee job without even beginning to look at STP.

Rajas is an awesome ring, considering the vast majority of melee players gear is horrible though it doesn't make that much difference on its own though really. The ring for many is purely (or was) a status item for showing completion of CoP, so which job you use the most is the ring I would get.

Regardless you can swap and change every week now so doesn't matter which you pick, I went with tamas and was happy with it for years then went more melee and picked up a rajas due to store TP builds.

Oh god, not this crap again, i thought this died years ago. with the rajas vs tamas argument. tamas was "decent" at 75 if your only jobs were mages and you never played a meele job.

Rajas ring is best ring for anyone who actually swings a weapon. this is not debatable, ever. if a whm has a club out, and has an actual meele set, it will include a rajas, if you swing a weapon, rajas should be equiped, i cannot belive i am seeing this crap again. hopefully that took care of any further concerns.

if you do not understand the importence of store tp and subtle blow over, ( not even mentioning str and dex because that is self explanitory) let's face it, tamas stats aren't even worth mentioning because all of it is useless.

Hey... Tamas is just fine... you don't need anything if you don't want it... you may think the Rajas is better... doesn't mean everyone else has to.
