Iron ring @implicit value - WTF?

im amazed to see this hasnt been adressed to this day

Iron ring base IMPLICIT value

regardles of item level 1-4phys dmg?

CMON guys

isnt it obvious that having Act1 campaign tier Implicit on an item makes it
absolutely POINTLESS to even have in game>

why not make it Tiered FFS ?
- at least that way,
...... finding a high tir local implicit BASE IRON RING would be a whole another level of Melee potential

Im not against reevaluating the implicit, but this wouldn't give melee an edge over ranged attack builds whatsoever.

saving the druid (wolf). other melee toons are slow, weak, and horrible on single target. if they do it, for example: iron ring level 81-82, with implicit 12-18, it will not change any thing. ranger will always do more damage (per second), because it is range.

ill take 12-18 implicit anyday,
paired with T1 phys prefix is actually already worth considering over resistance
.....current 1-4 is just pathetic waste of an item

The genius idea from the same devs that thought level 82 bosses should drop regal shards

OKAy,
increasing Implicit value was just a FIRST STEP towards grand skeem of things
Iron ring - WTF

If you wish to adjust t that statement

Iron Ring now grants ONSLAUGHT on kill
could be ovrpowered but STILL in the physical realm

(i do personally like the Tiered implicit of same Physical more
- that would make Iron ring base's actually desirable bases for attack prefixes

at this point in 4 seasons - its obvious to say GGG needs to revise early items

Absolutely agree that implicit just makes the ring worthless In trade SC, hide it from my loot filter if I could be bothered prismatic is bus
yeah,
they changed the Gemeni bow from firing 1 extra arrorw to %chance

yet,
left iron ring 1-4phys dmg as if its GOOD

like wtf is the logic in their balacing changes sometimes i have no idea
lol
but regardless,
thats why we have these here to vent-rage
Yeah this base type is a joke after act 1.

At least in poe1 there is another base type for phys that is the later game version called steel ring with a higher implicit for this very reason...

It would be literally that easy, just make a new base item called steel ring, make a new sprite bump the impicit and boom done.

Same thing for the mana ring and even worse the accuracy ring, both insanely bad even for build that want mana and accuracy you will never* use these base types.
good point.
