Points Defined

People refer to 'points' for yellow rings. What attributes = points?

Edit: Does this guide explain points accurately? forums/rare-ring-guide-for-dummies-ladder-t883855.html

Google it - so you basically look at the max possible number of affixes/suffixes and their maximum.

FCR 10%, 20 Str, 15 dex, 11 res, 9 rep life, single res 30, mana 90, life 40, min DMG 9, 120 attack rating

If it rolls max or a little below it's 1 point, arbitrarily some value below is half a point. It doesn't mean a 5 point ring is more valuable than a 4 point ring by default though.

Thanks that makes sense...I think I'm still somewhat lost on the attributes themselves. Like what is a useless attribute versus awesome? I would think all res is better than single res 30 but I'm sure I'm missing something.

That mainly depends on what you are after or if you are looking for stuff to sell then what someone else might be looking for. Some people, like me, absolutely adore dual res rings especially for off-meta hybrids/multiclass. On the other hand, all res, FCR and dual leech is something most people value above everything else. But even something like a singular res with high stats ring can go for some quite decent price...

All in all, it depends on the players. But also something simple like 40% MF could be very interesting for a person or two...

60-100% of the stat roll range is considered 1 point. 30-59% is .5 points. 0-29% is zero points. Dual leech is also considered 1 point.

What is useful? Different ways of looking at it: everything is life fits many, 15 dex = 15 vit = xy life, 9rep Life over a normal duel xy life, with res a little more abstract but 30% res = xy life in a duel vs that skill...
