Sweaty is a well entrenched word used colloquially to refer to the level of effort one puts in to achieve the result. I don't understand why you think it has negative connotations. We ourselves use it.
I might like this ring because half the time in cyro my bar swap doesn't work. I essentially run 2 one bar builds on some toons and tbh it would be nice to just concentrate on playing.
Why are the 'top tier' so afraid of 'lesser' people having nice things? It doesn't affect them. I grow weary of the git gud mentality. your gud is not always the same as someone else's gud.
Just watched a video on Oakensoul at www.Doomagaming.com where he discussed the most recent change and compared it to his previous 1 bar builds and Oakensoul works similar to a trial gear one bar set up about 100K and slightly lower than a non trial gear 1 bar set up all of which are about 20K lower than many of the standard 2 bar set ups.
I use several of Dooma's one bar builds on DPS characters and I am always 15-40K lower than what he shows is possible in his videos depending on the class. As I normally tank and sometimes heal what I see most is a bit more survivability and regen using the ring hopefully a bit more DPS but doesn't appear it has a chance to make me vet trail DPS ready by any means. Will also save me some gold on potions.
