Concept: Paired sets

RAGUNAnoOne

A somewhat tricky concept but here goes, this concept allows for 2 piece sets in rings only it is hard to explain the mechanics so here are some examples

Example the tribunal set: Ring of Almalexia, if it is paired up with ring of Vivec it grants you healing based on damage done with a 10% chance for it to be 50% +weapon damage howver reduces healing received by other players by 8%. but if paired with the ring of Sotha Sil it grants your healing skills a 25% chance on crit to restore a low amount of magicka or stamina to the target other than yourself + spell damage however your stamina consumption for everything besides healing moves IE vigor/rally/dark deal is increased by 8%. When ring of Vivec and Sotha Sil equipped dealing critical damage with a non DOT move has a 20% chance to boost both your weapon and spell damage for 7 seconds+ adds stamina and magicka but you take 5% more damage from physical attacks. the first item also adds a small bonus by itself and adds these bonuses in addition to the paired effects Almalexia healing received Vivec stam recovery Sotha Sil mag recovery. The downsides to pairing are made to encourage unique builds and not appeal to everyone like the 3 piece sets,

what do you think sound interesting?

I like this rings that can be paired for different effects depending on the combo

Sounds interesting, but sounds like a nightmare to code. Seems some of the basics are glitchy. I would hate to see the myriad of bugs and exploits associated with the introduction of such an idea.

A simpler version of it would be awesome. While it's a great idea, it would be very daunting to many players and as the poster above says, a coding nightmare.

If you could simplify it to complimentary pairs, off the top of my head here.... Ring on Zenithar gives the wearer a 10% discount for all vendor transactions. Paired with a Ring of Dibella, you receive 10% more... attention at a House of Dibella.

A Ring of Stendarr provides a boost in defense and paired with a Ring of Kynareth it provides greater defense to storm/lightning based attacks.

Pairing Zenithar and Stendarr would have no effect on each other, but would retain their separate effects.

Just my thoughts, I really love the OP's ideas. Jewelry is so boring right now, it really needs a lift.
