Najena's Ring of Readiness - Analysis

Xalmat · 08-07-2009, 03:06 PM

Just recently acquired this gem, and I noticed some incredibly big hits on some unexpected spells. Here's the breakdown.

For these tests I had 58% Base damage, plus another 35% for Crystal Blast, 10% for Petrify, Shattered Earth, Earthquake, Bewilderment, Master Strike, and another 15% for Fiery Annihilation. 840 Spell Damage. Also Crystal Blast has a 1.7 crit mod, remaining magic nukes are 1.6 crit mod, WoV 1.6, and everything else is 1.55)

Petrify Base: 2778-3204 (Theoretical max crit 5166)
With Ring: 2778-3396 (Theoretical max crit 5433)
Difference: +192 (267) on top end

Fiery Annihilation Base: 2151 initial, 293/tic (Theoretical max crit 3334)
With Ring: 2977 initial, 293/tic (Theoretical max crit 4614)
Difference: 826 (1280) initial

Winds of Velious Base: 1283-1382 initial, 443-542/tic (Theoretical max crit 2142)
With Ring: 3326-4065 initial, 443-542/tic (Theoretical max crit 6504)
Difference: 2043-2683 (4362) -- almost triple its original value!

Crystal Blast Base: 2362-3071 (Theoretical max crit 5220)
With Ring: 2362-3196 (Theoretical max crit 5433)
Difference: 125 (213)

Shattered Earth Base: 1101-1276 initial, 788-963/tic (Theoretical max crit 2041)
With Ring: 1576-1926 initial, 788-963/tic (Theoretical max crit 3081)
Difference: 475-650 initial (1040) (AEs have a much lower +Spell Damage cap)

Ice Storm Base: 1647-2005 (Theoretical max crit 3107)
With Ring: 1647-2013 (Theoretical max crit 3120)
Difference: +8 (+13) on the top end

Master Strike Base: 5230-6183 (Theoretical max crit 9892)
With Ring: 6435-7865 (Theoretical max crit 12584)
Difference: 1205-1682 (2692)

Earthquake Base: 1646-4547 (Theoretical max crit 7275)
With Ring: 1646-4939 (Theoretical max crit 7902)
Difference: 392 (627) on the top end

Bewilderment Base: 2921-4619 (Theoretical max crit 7390)
With Ring: 2972-5519 (Theoretical max crit 8830)
Difference: 51-900 (1440)

So the spells that gained the most damage:
Winds of Velious - HUGE boost
Master Strike - High base damage = huge boost
Bewilderment - High base damage = huge boost
Fiery Annihilation - Moderate boost

The spells that gained the least damage:
Ice Storm - Caps extremely low
Crystal Blast - Caps very low
Petrify - Caps very low
Earthquake - Only partially effective
Shattered Earth - Only partially effective

The damage boost on Fiery Annihilation, Winds of Velious, and Shattered Earth are even higher if you happen to have Upbeat Tempo going. And my theoretical max crits are before debuffs are considered.

Your mileage will vary of course. If your base damage and crit mod are higher than mine, your potential damage boost is higher. On the other hand if your worn spell damage is higher, the gain will be less.

What about Vampire Bats you ask? I tested it, and it doesn't seem to benefit worth a shit from the ring. Theoretically it's supposed to gain a few thousand points of damage, but in reality it barely gains any damage at all, maybe a few hundred. And because the tooltip lies, it's very hard to get an accurate measure of the actual damage potential.

i have a few questions X , a) would you use this prebuff only or full time and b) what would you replace if you used it full time cause atm i am running the forgotten ring of souls + either the eye mounted ring or signet of betrayal depending on if i need the crit or not

(AEs have a much lower +Spell Damage cap)

Is wrong. AEs have a really high +Spell Damage cap, it's just that it gets a penalty applied to it, so you only gain 33% of the spell damage cap.

Fair enough. It takes 3 spell damage mod to add 1 spell damage to AEs. And they can only be maxed out at 1/6 damage (IE: an AE that does 300 damage caps at 350 damage).

Either way Najena's Ring of Readiness doesn't do jack for Conjuror AEs.

I bagged my Eye Mounted Ring in favor of the Najena's Ring (other ring is Ring of Blood and Rage), so I'll be wearing it full time. If I get a Blackened Band of Devastation, that'll probably change.

Signet of Betrayal is garbage imo.

X can you post a pic of this ring.

Xalmat · 08-09-2009, 03:19 AM

No. Don't be lazy and look the damn thing up yourself.

Traxor · 08-09-2009, 04:26 AM

Start a thread and don't put a picture of it then. You callin me lazy?

If you don't know what the Najena's Ring of Readiness is before you opened this thread, epic fail on your part.

Once you consider the source of the crying, it makes a whole lot more sense.

A) if you even remember me playing my conj. You dont remember seeing me playing it for the last 2 years. This expansion specifically I haven't played upper content what so ever. As a class mod you notify. Comes with the job.

Read the thread retard. There was no crying. There was a question, a negative response and a negative response to that response.
