Why are rings unique equipped?

This is just something that's been bothering me, yes, I am aware that you can upgrade for the hunts, but that just delays the problem in that you can't equip two of the same ring. I don't understand why the rings are unique equipped and can't be made so we can use the same ring on both fingers.

Because otherwise we'll just have one ring slot.

This.

It's to force us to use two different rings, otherwise most people would just use two of the same ring which would defeat the point of having two ring slots.

Which would be fine if there were two rings for each role on the vendor. Otherwise, they should just remove the unique equip on the single ring on the vendor.

That's mostly as the second ring is from raid. What at the moment is not out yet.
Guessing normal Alex would be ilevel 180 gear.

Which is a bit sad I guess.... let's hope the gear is pretty tho.

You can get one Law ring, upgrade it to ilvl 180 with Centurio seals, and then buy another ilvl 170 ring of the same time and wear both of them. The ilvl 180 counts as a different "unique" ring.

I use 1 upgraded ring (180) and 1 non-upgraded one (170). But ofc some ppl run with 1 main stats ring and 1 off stats ring of ilvl 180,

The ilvl 180 gears don't have the same name as the ilvl 170 gear. That's why.

Well, yeah. That's obvious.

And that's fine until you play a caster or a healer. We get one ring that we can upgrade and one non-upgraded until we get either a raid ring or something like the Garuda/Ramuh EX rings.

I play DRG, I am currently using the 180 ring of Slaying and Fending. The fending ring has Determination and skill speed, 2 stats that DRGs can use. Each ring has a stat that all classes use.

Personally, I think they should just give us two rings of each type to buy (two rings of Slaying, of Fending, of Aiming, etc). Always seeing that perfect ilvl off by one digit because of that bloody ring is a serious eyesore.

I always have to raise an eyebrow whenever someone uses the words "lazy bum" in reference to players of video games.

Last I checked, these were supposed to be entertaining endeavors, and not second jobs.

Look, if you like going through the logistics of raiding and the rewards it entails, all the power to you. But it doesn't make you a better person than me, and it doesn't make me a 'lazy bum' if I'm not willing to go through that kind of effort for my entertainment. It just means I have different priorities from you, and that's okay.

(This is besides the fact that Alexander Savage isn't releasing for another three weeks, so that eyesore will still be there regardless of what I do in the interim. Hardly a sterling solution to the problem.)

I see people do this a lot and I've always wondered if the secondaries on the "off" ring outweigh losing so much of your primary stat.

They don't. Det and Crit are worth roughly 1/3 of your primary stat. In other words, you would need 3x what your primary stat would be to make it worth it. This never happens, naturally.

It isn't even close to worth it and the people that do it are gimping their dps or healing, though not by a lot. The only role it doesn't effect is tanks. Getting a Str ring is pretty much as good as the Vit ring.

Except that, in all honesty is a waste of seals, unless you were capping, you can never upgrade that ring and and will end up replacing it anyway, you're better off getting the 160 rings and leaving it there untill better rings come out. as you won't notice a difference anyway.

How do these people even find these threads to necro bump them is my question..

Oh hey I remember making this thread. But my opinion on this hasn't changed. Get rid of unique equipped rings! It's a stupid limitation and is completely unnecessary. As for the players defending it, I feel compelled to ask why? Why are people opposed to something that helps everyone? The mind boggles.

Anyway, with Stormblood coming out, now is the perfect time to lift this pointless restriction and/or give vendor a second ring for each role with different itemization.

It used to be that you could sometimes get alt rings from primals in 2.x (Garuda EX/Ramuh EX) but not anymore so there is less of a reason to have this restriction now. I don't think they are going to get rid of it though since there are still normal/savage raid and crafted rings.
