Hopefully I don't get harrased here for giving an opinion
The ring itself is just straight up, honest damage reduction, both physical and magical.
It's also not your only source of damage reduction, so you stack it on top of other forms of damage reduction, there's a lot of them
Evasion, shields, armor, utility, buffs and debuffs, sustain. All those things are enhanced by the ring of tenacity.
It's kind of the same logic for the warrior Hold fast ability (3-6 armor) and the warden's Barkskin ability ( 0-150% of her level, it goes up to 0-45 armor at level 30)
Even if the Warden blocks significantly more damage, the warrior gets more benefit from the extra armor since he has a passive shield to back it up
You didn't even have an opinion on it, you just kindaaaa said what it does
I think it's the best defensive ring in the game
It's literally the only... wait, excluding elements, I almost forgot that clowny clown ring.. only defensive ring without counting clown clowny ring in the game, ofc it's the best defensive ring in the game.
Also including arcana with a good defensive glyph, evasion, and haste
Then haste is the most defensive one no contest if you count it.
I like tenacity more, but I understand
If it wasn't fundamentally flawed and just putting those upgrades in your armor making the damage reduction not only more effective but also giving you the possibility of having a better ring (literally every other ring) maybe I would like it too.
The thing is, putting everything on armor doesn't get you magic resistance.
Just dodge the attacks. They are more punishing but avoidable. Once you have enough skill, you won't need to resist them, because you'll just not get hit
Okay, that's like saying "if you know how to manage food, you should never need the horn of plenty"
Stuff just happens, I like having the ring of tenacity
Horn of Plenty is still good for On Diet...
Yeah it is. Case in point, everything has it's use
No, not everything. For example: Ring of Elements, arguably Ring of Tenacity, Ring of Wealth while ascending, Sandals of Nature, Alchemist's toolkit, for some reason the Amulet of Yendor, blocking enchantment (it's a joke, it's trigger chance is really rare and it gives low shield for a small amount of turns. If you upgrade the weapons to make it more effective you won't need the shield, enemies just die) and all the shards (free achievement or gold)
I could make a case for all of those things, literally none of them are useless. Some other time 🤔
But you should play around more to find uses of items and everything else
Some things have synergies with other things.
Except the amulet of yendor, but that's supposed to be the last item you get
