Thread: 5.0 Rings

They have no special effects like trinkiets where you would want to be sure to make them unique as a limiter or something. It just feels weird to have a full set of gear from somewehere cover everything...except for one ring slot. It's not a big deal just a little weird.

It could simply be a case of SE wanting the exact same amount of items per different type of gear slot in each tier. I don't think it would be unbalanced to remove the unique tag from tome rings though.

Maybe because the unique tag is not tied to item type but rarity ? Is there a non unique rare/relic item in the game ?
If it is tied to rarity that would be problematic to change.
It could also be a way to push people to do other types of content.
