Now I know accessories are not HUGE, but they do give stats and some extra oomph. I hate to be one of those guys who examines everyone then leaves, but in that case I had to, no way we would beat the dungeon the way we were progressing, and believe me I tried with them. GOt up Demon wall but they kept wiping.
Actually jewelry bonus IS huge. 8 strength on necklace is equal to 8 strength on chest piece.
While weapon damage has the biggest boost when it comes to stats, primary stats aren't far off. If you compare a person with no rings at all with a person that has 2 rings that give 6 str/dex/int/mnd each, then that will be equal to two weapon damage. That's huge.
