A Couple of Questions About Jewelry!

Ring of Vigour vs Dk Rings (i)

 

Which gives you better DPS when taking on a boss with a fair amount of health? Assume I use Berserk, Sunshine and Death's Swiftness as much as possible. 

 

Amulet of Zealots

 

As I'm sure you all know it is possible to get a +16% boost in defence, accuracy and damage for each attack style. This is greater than the 10% given from the Turmoil curses however the curses come with a drain. Does anyone know for sure which is better?

 

EDIT: Also if I was doing a greater demon task at K'ril would a V Wand and Book be better than duel Drygores?

It depends a bit on what you're doing.

 

Turmoil will probably give you more accuracy/defence (with the attack/strength/defence reduction and all), while you'd expect the 16% strength to exceed the 10% from Turmoil.

 

So, if you're not looking for accuracy or defence or soul split healing, then go with Zealots.

 

Not sure about vigour.

Don't also forget about the 4.4% critical(~damage) from amulet spot. Overall, i'd say zelots is only really worth it at all at high damage bosses along with active penace aura.

 

As for vigour, there aren't too many places where you'd realistically use it and be effective, particularly as far as melee is concerned. Maging/ranging the highest level bosses(nex, vorago, king, but not barrows) should be the only use cases.

[Quyneax]

4.4% critical isn't 4.4% damage, because abilities have minimum hits. Depending on the ability, criticals are either useless (Dismember, Combust), not very useful (Snap Shot) or, for simple 125% damage abilities, have an average of 128,125% weapon damage, versus a normal average of 78,125%, or about 65% higher average damage.

 

I did forget about criticals, so that's 3% or so dps. Still very slightly in favour of zealots, but yeah...

 

I wouldn't use zealots at bosses because the 9-15% defence reduction from Turmoil would exceed the 6% extra attack boost from Zealots. The only place where it'd be useful is some place like barraging armoured zombies, because you have 100% accuracy anyway.

[Quasar]

Zealots is also useful at Nex, because Nex is immune to the stat-draining effects of curses.  (Though you sacrifice the 3 hits on shadow and blood that you can soulsplit)

If you're using ultimates a lot use vigour.

 

In general jewelry became obsolete duo to critical bonuses that barely even matter (imo), I prefer my glory over my fury. Why? Because it can teleport.

 

If anything the imbued onyx ring offers the highest critical bonus along with the Sixth-age circuit (quest item/-11armour) although i'd set my eyes on the levathian(?) ring from PoP which reduces damage. Otherwise the imbued dragonstone ring allows you to protect another item. 

 

Remember: the ring of wealth is a lie. 

 

I wouldn't know, I only use magic on K"ril.
