Just to add and merely for discussion some of the feedback I am reading threw threads is it's ONLY a mining ring and its NOT a hunters ring.
Why?
The Eco conversation comes up but how isn't it in hunting?
I am a newer player and by no means a Higher level hunter as I am melee and 45 lvl sword and 32 lvl Pyro. However this has DRASTICALLY changed my hunting and grinding Iron missions and will save me a lot of PED over time. Which isn't saving PED part of being ECO?
Of course it has tremendous low level hunting advantages. Myself on Ark grinding Nusul,Hadraada,Bokol missions and NEVER having to heal and on the rare occasion pop my S10. Then coupled with the faster reload I am just killing faster and more per hour while being hit less cause of the 25% evade. If i were to do these missions without the ring compared too the ring OBVIOUSLY I will save a lot of PED from
1- Not being hit
2- Not having to heal.
3- Then of course just not letting mobs Regen killing more per hour with skill pills while cycling more PED.
Now I am not a Higher level of hunter but a forum lurker and try to read and understand as much as I can isn't this ring AMAZING for some hunts and also in fact ECO?
I guess the example that comes to mind would be say Hunting spiders (I can't so speculating from other hunters) Thinks you would want.
1- Max faster reload - Ok ring has it
2- Max accelation - Ring has it. Now this is to obviously kill the spiders before they even reach you and pew pew.
3- Max Evade- while perfected grants only 24% of course will 1% more make a difference probably not but if you are using a Hermetic to get max accel then you have none. So when the mob does reach you then you are just getting hit less which can save your life. Or you pull a mob and one ninja spawns behind you it allows you to get out of some hairy situations. Furthermore not getting hit then regenerating HP allows you to keep doing damage and you don't have to STOP to heal and cuts out mob REGENERATION.
4- 25% crit reduction- Obviously vs Bigger mobs this just has more importance. You want to get hit less and when you do get hit to take less damage.
So back to my original question and just maybe "I" don't personally understand. How is this NOT also a hunters ring? For low level hunting as I currently am grinding saving PED then if i do feel adventurous and want to HUNT BIG well this ring not only lets me do that but do it more efficiently and economically.
So maybe someone with far more experience can elaborate on this for me. Maybe this is why I hold it currently in such HIGH standing as I am using it and see the clear benefits now and the only thing that would tarnish it would be future items making it not as good.
