So many people complaining that these rings are killing GS.. Don't you think with the level cap raise coming up in a few months, that flame/snow/etc rings will lose alot of their usefulness? SE is going to need to start putting in better rings..
Altho there are higher STR rings currently(+7) what seperates this from other rings is the ATK, which does more for WSs outside of STR alone, provided your not at or above ATK cap on the mob, this ring remains one of the best WS rings you can obtain if modifying STR, and will remain one of the best until +9 STR rings are released.
Depending what ridiculous hard NM/Fight we have to beat for that Ring, this will replace the Flame Rings used for the average STR built.
As Gellvos stated, more atk but its even 7.5 beeing 1str=0.75atk. Thats double the ammount you get off a Flame Ring and you get an additional STR on top of that. (All thinking from 2H position ^^)
again everyone acts like everyone will have this ring tomorrow. shut up retards this will not kill goldsmith profits. theres still people without flame, omicron or triumph.
