Suggested change to TOD ring crafting

[Irinis]

Now that many of the set bonii have been revisited, it would be lovely to be able to craft the +1 exceptional stat of your choice as well as the +2 exceptional stat of your choice, instead of the +1 being set in advance in a way that might not help your build.

For example I'll use Bard sets: Warchanter is the only one that uses +1 exceptional STR. So my Spellsinger uses the Warchanter ring. If the Spellsinger set bonus was more useful, my build would be forced to lose out on +1 STR in favor of the +1 DEX attached to the Spellsinger ring, which is completely useless for her build. Most Spellsingers need +1 CHA or +1 STR (maybe +1 CON in rare builds).

With some epic items being +7, the base +6 is often not useful at all, and is just something you put up with to get the right +1 stat then craft your +2 or healing amp or monky bonus damage on.

Double crafting of TOD ring would allow much better player customization of builds.

Perhaps crafting a +1 stat on your ring could use Medium ingredients and the same recipes, but a Small power shard to reduce the power of the result to +1 instead of +2. (Then also make the Small shard drop from Tower of Despair.)

Is this something others would like to see?

That would be friggin awesome, don't hold your breath.

This would be a nice improvement to ToD rings.

Considering that nearly every end-game build includes ToD rings in their ideal equipment set, I don't really think that they need an improvement.

Yes it would make them better.

1. Do they need to be better?
2. Should other end-game items, such as any red-fens set that doesn't have "claw in the title" be upgraded first?

1. The entirety of this game's loot needs a serious overhaul.
2. The entirety of this game's loot needs a serious overhaul.

This is one small suggestion for part of that overhaul.
