Devs please fix Carceran Wizard's Ring Recipe!!

[Crumdum]

As the title states please fix this ring's stats so its more useful to a mage. As it stands right now its a dps LOSS to all Mage rings that drop in Hammerknell AND ID. There are better rings that are obtainable in T1 raid zones if you do not need the focus as a mage and are over spell crit.

Carceran Wizard Ring
(base)
40 INT
24 WIS
14 END
25 SC
65 Focus

The 25 SC is the problem with this ring that makes this ring complete junk. Please change this to spell power and this ring becomes more usable for mages.

Stat breakdown
With the Flawless Etherialite augment you get 36 spell power, 73 spell crit, 14 endurance, and 65 focus from the crafted ring.
With the Shimmering Naga Scale augment you get 36.5 spell power, 70 spell crit, 14 endurance, and 65 focus.

Right now as a mage with all ID mark gear equiped its incredibly easy to be spell crit capped wearing ONLY spell power type items equiped. Personally with zero buffs, potions, or food I am at 1063 spell crit. With raid buffs, personal buffs, and potions I am easily over softcap. If I used this ring...it would be a DOWNGRADE from all mage Hammerknell / Rotp rings. The only benefit a mage has by wearing this item is an additional 15 focus because we STILL DO NOT NEED SPELL CRIT ON GEAR. If I wasnt using the darkling skull in my offhand as a mage I would easily have well over 1100 spell crit WITHOUT buffs just using spell power drop gear.

Examples of Hammerknell gear...

Dollins Sorcerous Ring (drops from King fight in HK)
36 INT
19 WIS
12 END
16 SP
50 focus

Stat Breakdown
You get 43.5 spell power, 36 spell crit, 12 endurance, and 50 focus from the ring.

Examples of ID rings for mages

Burning Blood Gem (drops from first boss in ID)
40 INT
21 WIS
15 END
18 SP
65 Focus

Stat Breakdown
You get 48.5 spell power, 40 spell crit, 15 endurance, and 65 focus from the ring.

This crafted ring (Carceran Wizard Ring) is ABSOLUTELY...POSITIVELY...worthless compared to the rings listed above!

The CLERIC crafted ring is better for mages...

Carceran Mystic's Insignia
25 INT
35 WIS
16 END
10 SP
27 SC
65 Focus

Stat breakdown
With the Flawless Etherialite augment you get 44 spell power, 60 spell crit, 16 endurance, and 65 focus from the crafted ring.
With the Shimmering Naga Scale augment you get 44.5 spell power, 57 spell crit, 16 endurance, and 65 focus.

WHY IS A CLERIC RING BETTER FOR MAGES THEN THE CRAFTED MAGE RING!!!!

PLEASE FIX THIS!!! There are very limited mats for this ring and multiple people compete for this item.

THANKS!

Rift itemization has, probably (sadly) always will have gaping flaws in it like this. The solution... use the cleric ring

[Crumdum]

Why hasn't this horrible itemization issue been addressed yet by the devs? I would like to use the mage ring if possible!!!

[Pines]

ID crafted items in general seem off, especially in terms of the items required.

Why don't the boots require 1 of each material? Boggles the mind that guilds can only make a set of boots every other week.

[Chrystania]

The rogue rings have the same problem giving crit over attack power. I wish these things would be fixed.

[Plastique]

It's obviously busted because it's a mage item. I think they hate mages.

pretty much.

[Lewin]

All the dps crafted id rings are borked like this. Lots of crit, little or no .

I'm surprised after like two weeks we still do not have an acknowledgement that the devs even 1) understand there is a huge itemization issue with about 50% of the id crafted gear, and 2) Why they are not fixing this since they realized how horrible they did itemization for HK (does anyone remember mages going for cleric wands!).

Ring problems...

ALL crafted rings besides the cleric non tanking ring are borked. Parry is just about USELESS as a tanking stat, dodge is way better. The rogue/warrior dps ring and mage rings for some reason are heavy on crit and its already way to easy for warriors, rogues, and mages to reach crit cap in this game.

Weapon problems...

50% of the crafted weapons are useless. The rogue/warrior 1h dps weapon is heavy on crit and the warrior/rogue tank weapon HAS PARRY which again is dang near useless. The mage/cleric dagger is nice, however you really should have made a cleric 2h weapon because you now have made that weapon useless for a bunch of different cleric specs that could be used.

Did someone use a random number generator when creating these items? I mean seriously...you can only realistically get one of these items every three weeks so WHY ARE THEY NOT BETTER!!.

[BrownsMageNerfDelivery]

These issues have existed since ID's release and are probably low on the priority list behind A) releasing the gated encounters at the time and B) fixing bugs (and, I suspect, C) itemizing for SL).

I suspect the people who are itemizing have no idea what stats are important for each classes and have no knowledge of the scaling, which is why there is no gear progression across tiers for most pieces (they tend to be sidegrades) and you have wasted stats on some gear (crit-heavy pieces for classes that don't need crit).

I'd echo the recommendation from someone else: use the cleric ring -- no fix is likely.
