I have read on numberous sites as well as the Ranger Glade forum that higher level Rangers seem to have a hankering for these 55hp/55 mana, 65hp/65mana rings. Why?

I would have thought that a ring that gives you a boost to your main stats (ya'know str/dex ect)would be more effective than the rings that add to hp or mana. Someone care to enlighten me?

However, high level rangers suffer from one thing:

Low HP compared to warriors, sks, and pallies.

So anything that can pump up those hit points is very much wanted. And if it can give them more mana, too, it's even more desireable.

Does that clear it up a bit for ya?

Pure ac and hp on the otherhand are the life blood of rangers and many other classes.

And it isnt just rangers that want 6ac/65hp (velium fire wedding rings) rings, heck my shaman has them on both his fingers

I remember a while back the dev team commented on the fact that they wish they had made stats in EQ matter more, but the fact is they really dont mean much.

And thank you all for the informative responses!

HP and mana help keep you alive. Not a whole hell of a lot, but a hell of a lot more than any amount of strength or dex will.
