I don't think the Ring of Supremacy is all that. It's always below all my other procs and accounts for far less than 1% of my zw dps. Str imbued ring will boost damage better with a high delay weapon/bow or even the Ring of Four Winds is better for the spell/ca refresh.

You asked for the best , Tho i doubt you will ever see a troub with this line up of gear Equiped.
I'm not sure about the Belt of Purity either, you lack a haste item, personally I think you'd get more out of a Belt of Manifestations for DPS increae and 30 Haste.

I hate the legs so much but with that lineup basically the best piece to sacrifice to keep the 5 piece.

Maybe except for the fact crafted rings dont proc off bows.

I can't deny or verify this. I know that my cloak of valor procs off of ranged though. But, if you're meleeing you'd definitely want the acrylia over the ring of supremacy. I also find that I do more dps via melee than with a bow. I only have matron bow (longbow of corruption).

I only use the RoS when PoTM is up.


Are you saying that bow is the way to go for troub dps now?

If so, then a ranger setup like a 1h + buckler of the howler would be better than the dw's you have listed.

Hmm no, i merely pointed that out because you said it did proc off bows. I have seen a quite a few bards goto this ranger type approach. Me personally i hate it. I see it only as a way to make up for crap weapons buy just buying a bow and using 1 handed claymore because its proc is broke and proc off bows. It does somewhat work ill admit, but i have found it to be inconsistent. Your gonna get a few really nice parses with a good bow and tender wood arrows where you will string a few crits together. Then the next parse you will miss 3 times and put up 600dps . Yeah rangers do amazing damage just auto attack with a bow but with out their +to hit and pred auto attack adjustment your not gonna get any where near the results. If you dead set to go this new ranger/bard route talk to slixer i think he is set up that way now.

Nope I'm not setup for ranged damage, I tried it out and deemed it worthless.

It's just too inconsistent.

Well, even if it doesn't proc off of ranged, it's generally up from a high delay melee attack or CA, so IME it's up enough to warrant using it over the RoS.

Since you don't do the ranged dps route, there is no reason to use RoS over acrylia ring unless you have a pocket coercer, constantly buffing the hell our of your dps.
