#Give Bellator ring a +2 str bonus buff to balance melee ring progression.

Bellator has recently dropped down to sub 40m in value, cheapest of all rings by a bit while Ultor ring is going for 191m.
It's a niche ring whose niche was made worse recently by the addition of the Rancour amulet (+10 accuracy) and the Noxious Halberd (20m for saeldor dps with 132 slash accuracy).
The main problem with the ring is the 2 less strength bonus than common berserker ring, which makes it worse in a lot of cases and thus makes the ring less attractive to buy.

A +2 strength bonus would make the ring a lot more attractive without making it much more powerful, since you would always know that it's at least as good as berserker ring.
This buff would bring the value up to the ring a bit while also lower the absurd cost of the Ultor ring a bit, smoothening the gap between the rings.

i think price wise its actually in a good spot

#

it actually is better then bring alot of the time if ur doing any pvm content

#

ultor gotten alot better just due accuracy having dimishing returns rancor scy buff etc

#

bellator still has use cases and is a fraction of cost to ultor

#

theres much more worse items in game imo like harm or sra

I haven't ran the numbers, but i wonder if the +2 is actually enough to bring max hit up. I'm sure there would be certain loadouts that would benefit, so I'd be for this. I just wonder how beneficial it would actually be

I don't think it's so much an "accuracy gear is bad" problem as it is a "the combat system doesn't work like that" problem

#

If they changed accuracy to, say, increase your minimum hit after a certain threshold, then sure, accuracy would matter more.

But that's not how the game works.

#

I feel like I may have worded that a bit wrong.

What I'm trying to say is it's less of a stat bad deal than it is a current metagame does not require stat deal

#

It's an upgraded warrior ring, though. I'd say changing the bonus it gives takes away from that

#

cuz u prob wont even lose a max

#

not a fan of niches being delegated as a progression prospect only (using bellator only cuz you cant afford ultor)

#

but it does have that aspect to it which makes it really good imo

#

Bellator is in a good spot, +1 to all yowasuppbra said.

#

Warrior, seers, archers, tyrannical, and treasonous ring are all in really bad spots progression wise though.

#

Accuracy is really good at bosses with giga high def like Duke and KBD, but it's just such a small list of largely niche places where that's more than like 0.2% stronger than no ring at all.

#

seers is just far too weak to be worth using. kinda odd that they didnt just give it 1%

#

0.5% i think literally never has an impact kekw

#

Accuracy is so under tuned

#

And str bonus at the very top end is overrated

#

That being said , at 40m its a solid upgrade for gear progression

#

Worth getting for varodivs , Duke, Colo , Tob...etc

I think it might be better to focus on it's accuracy niche. Scythe is still incredibly inaccurate so it would be nice if Bellator had further slash accuracy, since compared to Tbow, Melee Armor typically doesn't have Slash Accuracy.

#

I'll still upvote because I did think exactly the same when they proposed Bellator btw

#

How 6 off from Ultor is not justified by meager amounts of accuracy

#

6 STR off*
