    Now see, convincing you to see the truth was so easy. Why is it so hard to get this idea into bone-headed Sattva/Tamas owners?

    If all you have is mage jobs, than Tamas is a no brainer really. Then again, even WHM can get lots of uses out of Rajas so I'm not too sure of that. Maybe if you literally only have BLM?

    It's not such a huge deal since you can get a new CoP ring though.

    If you ever ever ever plan to have a real mage job, get it. This cannot be re-quested like CoP!!! Don't make the wrong choice.
    Ulthalam's is better than Mars's Ring inside Salvage/Assault for melees. =|

    I would suggest getting Balrahn's.... Great ring in salvage/assault areas and also outside due to MACC for multiple jobs. Great choice if you ever plan to level a mage.

    Eh even then not really. Tamas is mainly a inventory saver. Rajas on the otherhand has a lot of benefits that you can't really get in one handy slot. I would always suggest getting Rajas over Tamas to people if they are stuck choosing for their mage or DD.

    I notice it is a decent ring to use for Quick Draw, is there nothing better for that purpose? Would a ranged acc. ring apply?

    And since when has Mar's ring been amazing for melee's? It is a completely irrelevant (with respect to noticeable changes, not just epeen) upgrade. Balrahn's ring adds an extra tick of refresh..extremely useful in Salvage, especially pre-refresh gear. When Ulthalam's starts giving Regain, try making your argument again.

    Agi rings for QD, which add acc, so basically doing exactly the same thing.

    Balrahn is the only option.
    This x1000. While Ulthalam's can be replaced, refresh on your ring cannot, even if it's not constant. I feel sorry for mages who didn't pick it!

    Yeah I don't know why they haven't already... seems pretty silly of them. They need to make nyzul armor storable as well as a bunch of other shit, get on the ball already SE!

    Yeah, I remember it was especially hilarious seeing them add the re-quest CoP and the final missions to get ToAU ring in the same update.

    M.Acc rings > AGI rings for QD accuracy from my experience, and no r.acc rings don't work for QD acc.

    God that's hot. What? You want us to bring stunners for Gates of Hades? Why not just bring 2 SMN's and SKIP IT?!?!

    If it works by percent, that isn't happening.

    Went from 95 to 84% with that. I was like no fucking way.

    Had to time it right so it didn't SS up. I had about 1450 mp when i did it as well. Might try to time a few smn's two hours together and see the hp bar go down......

    So far as all the testing goes, % doesn't have anything to do with it, no? People were reporting anywhere from 5-20% damage in the Odin/Alexander thread.

    Somebody try this at 50% on Cerb~

    We actually had a smn come in around 40% and they had 1500mp and they did around 400 damage.

    I tried to do this on Tinnin, but I got killed right as I summoned Odin.

    Well, that debunks the theory of it doing a straight percentage of HP left on the mob.

    i'd venture to say that new 6dex ring might be better than a mars ring as well
