New Elite VoD Loot

[xTethx]

Dropped from the sidechest, not the main one. Didnt have as many pulls as I had wanted, but no one bothered joining me

[AmatsukaIncarnate]

Note the typo for the fortification...
but i guess its a pretty cool item if you don't want to slot insight 4 on your GS weapons...but for most AC builds, I don't see this replacing chattering ring...

but i like that they're updating older raids with some fresh stuff!

[Shade]

mmm grats.
Icky item, maybe ill find a better one =)

tho in a way i kinda dont want to, bored of VoD. I want the good stuff in hound, hounds still interesting on elite.

[Zeruell]

I realize VoD on Elite registers as a level 20 quest, but do the properties on that ring really justify the ML20 tag?

Heck no. It's junk.

[GoldyGopher]

Heck no. It's junk.

You mean Vendor Trash, junk can grinded up for crafting materials, named loot cannot.

[Khurse]

It would be cooler if it was Dodge, but HA 4 on a ring isn't "junk" for every build.

Might try and see how it works on my Monk (at least until I get around to making Alchemical wraps)

[Tid12]

Make it a Profane bonus +2 to AC (Stacking with everything else) and you will see people using it much more on their AC builds.

[B0ltdrag0n]

If it was "evasion' instead of improved fort 25% it would be bad ass.

As it is I think the description of vendor trash is fairly accurate.

[somenewnoob]

I don't have a toon that would wear it. Junk.

[Eladiun]

Exceptional Reflex could be situationally useful.

[Scraap]

For myself, I'm rather in favor of more slot options to reach the same goal, rather than higher and higher bars. This one, I agree with. (Though I do agree, the ML20's kinda goofy.)

You would wear this ring in lieu of a ToD ring on a monk?

Personally, I only see this being worn on AC builds that only have 1 ToD ring and that is not using an Epic Chimera's Fang with 3 Dragonmarks of the Sentinel. HA4 doesn't stack with various levels of Parrying, does it?

Or a AC-based Min II, or the Swashbuckler, or that new fire cloak, or...
As was mentioned above, slot options are nice, but this is looking really lackluster.

I say thee nay.

That's exactly the point. It's a decent item until something MUCH MUCH better comes along.
It isn't junk if you are a new player with bad gear.
If you are multi-TR with the best gear, you wouldn't give this a second look because you will "get around to making" something much better.

[Absolute-Omniscience]

Heck no. It's junk.

Absolutely.

Ac builds with only one tod ring generally leave the second ring for chattering ring but now with dodge 3 available in a couple other slots you would probably see the epic silver concord or epic seal of earth here for one more possible ac.

That said it could still see some use in builds like exploiters that don't use wraps and don't want to use an insight 4 weapon.

My fang build may possibly swap in this ring if going to a big two hander like esos and still be able to achieve 80's plus ac in this mode. Just use the first dragon mark for deflection 5 swap out silver concord for this and net is +3 ac.

[WruntJunior]

As an ac toon lover, it pains me to say that this ring looks like trash, or at best a mid-way item for ac toons until they get their real gear made...but coming from elite vision, that's not something they're likely to get until they already have that portion of their gear made. Sadness.

As is, I may use it until they make the gem of many facets work for either part of the red fens sets (so I can use cannith-crafted weapons while ac tanking), but this doesn't look like anything other than a mid-way item, at best.

I hope those new players with bad gear aren't in my elite Vod group! lol

[JOTMON]

Relatively weak for min level 20. No stat, slot or exceptional crafting options.
Would have expected to see this as min level 16.

Possibly makes it a substitute for a TOD ring or the Buccaneers ring.
Essentially trade a insight GS weapon (recraft..??) for a TOD set like Oremi's.

More of a reshuffle or tweak item, not really usefull for most players.
