Which ring should I get for endgame Scholar?

[LiadansWhisper]

Oh I do have someone who's got a level 50 GSM but he isn't sure if he can HQ it due to the fact that the only materials are the rose gold ingot and the whetstone and its nearly impossible to HQ the ingot since the Philo mats are LQ by default. The Vitality is really the main reason I'm looking into this because lately I feel like a lot of parties request you to have 4k HP and even though my main gear is all ilevel70 and I have a relic +0, im at 3500 HP :/

You need to find someone with all of the crafts and properly melded gear. Don't settle on someone who "might" be able to HQ the ring.

This sounds absolutely absurd to me. Can we even get 4k HP with full i90 gear as Scholars?

Yes, easily. That said, the only encounter that you need more than 4k is turn 5 so I'm not sure why pug parties are requesting you have that much.

There are ways to get 100% HQ from those synths with NQ materials, so if you do get it crafted, get it from someone who can do that.

The only place where you need 4k+ HP is turn 5 and Twintania (well for now, we'll see what 2.1 brings). You shouldn't worry about it at all until you've beaten 1-4 in Coil. And you can do those with relic and full darklight and carry your weight.

Full Allagan/Myth left side and Relic +1 puts you just at or over 4k hp. This is assuming you have a tank in the group (you'd darned well better for Coil), but assumes no food, vit accessories, or attribute points put into vitality.

If you REEEEEEEAAALLY wanted to, you could probably hit 5k hp; I highly doubt that it is worth it.

Ideally you want both i90 rings. If you ever need a smidgen more VIT (pretty much only for Turn 5 if you're missing a lot of left side i90), melded Astral Ring should replace one of them (doesn't really matter which but I'd keep the Hero ring on). Personally I cleared turn5 today with a melded HQ Tourmaline Ring paired with my Allagan healing ring, so if your skill and other gear is up to snuff it doesn't matter that much. Even for Turn 5.

Also depends how you handle fireballs. We just 4-stack them since we don't need the LB3 for snakes so 3.8k with food is more than enough.
