Xanotex Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 When should the Onyx Ring (i) be used? Don't tell me not to get it etc because I am getting it anyways, just wondering where it's good at. ooh eeh ooh ahah, ting tang wallawallabingbang m8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaaps1 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Everywhere. Literally, except maybe the cases where RoL is better, such as Rock Lobsters. Also, on low-defense monsters, a Zerker (i) is better. ~It's Super Effective!

D Jay99 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Waste of time don't bother.Use it any time youre killing something that has high defence and you use stab (this does not include slayer, use zerker (i) for that since you have 300 rank anyway), and anywhere you use multiple combat styles (tds/dks come to mind) and ehm I think thats about it. Make sure you don't have it protect over something important since I think it tends to do that. Also dont listen to me I dont even have it myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Range_This11 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I worked up to 300 rank within the first few days MA came out and got an Onyx Ring (i). I love it and use it everywhere.

PereGrin Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 just be careful, it apparently protects over everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massicist Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Any time you range or mage, and any time you're fighting a high defence monster with melee. It's especially useful when you hy/tribrid DKs, where you utilise the benefits of all the attack styles. It's also good for the higher-tier dragons, seeing as it gives the best stab bonus for a ring.Bear in mind the dragonstone (i) ring is all +5 instead of +6 like the onyx (i), so in places you're worried that you may die, the dragonstone (i) may be a better choice. As PereGrin says, the onyx (i) protects over absolutely everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Squab Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Honestly, where SHOULDN'T you use it is a better question.... Squab unleashes Megiddo! Completed all quests and hard diaries. 75+ Skiller.

sumondskull6 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 You're going to spend 16m on a ring with only + ONE better stats in everything than a Dragonstone (i), which not only doesn't protect over everything, but saves you 16m?

I HIGHLY doubt the +1 bonus will ever save you 16m.It's the best ringBest ring as in if you need the defense and accuracy in many attack styles, if you aren't or don't, seer, archer, berserker, and hell, even warrior(i) can be better than it in most situations. For all the situations mentioned as of yet, TD-s, bandos and DK-s might be the only ones where it is actually better than the before-mentioned rings, although you do have to own them all. For the other places mentioned- kbd is a joke, miths don't have incredible defense with all these new accuracy boosts anymore and what matters at corp is the maximum damage you can inflict, not high average damage, so berkserker(i) gets you more kills(ffa). As for it costing 16m, i doubt anyone who can't afford it is going to bother getting it, and it's not as though you lose the 16m buying it. First to 99 Farming on 27.

Matey Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Surely it protecting over everything is a good thing? I haven't done any MA, but I hear from friends it isn't fun getting the required rank. Also onyx isn't cheap these days, I'd be pretty pissed if I lost it. To hell with humanity;The more I see, the less I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty easy to get 200k reward credits once you're 300+ rank. Also, I think onyx is a lot cheaper than to imbue than the barbarian rings. I'll have to double-check. EDIT: Onyx is about 144k credits to imbue while the barb rings are about 205k. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la la la Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 The main things I use it for:Metal dragons (stab bonus)Corp (stab bonus)Jad tasks (range + melee bonuses)Any kind of boss hunting (all types of def bonus, especially the elusive magic defence)I'd also recommend getting the berserker (i), which is great for waterfiends (crush + str bonus), and any low-defence monster hunting.
