Wowhead, battle.net, and other databases are currently WRONG about these new cata random enchants.

These 'elemental' named enchant types have FOUR STATS EACH, in order from highest to lowest:

Stamina
A 'core stat' ( Agi, Int, OR Str )
and a combo of TWO EQUAL RATINGS (or in a couple of cases, one rating and spirit)

So, as a rule of thumb, until it's fixed, you can automatically know that the one rating you see, like say 160 crit, the other rating will also be 160.

Guide + Lists for these new FOUR STAT randoms:

Cataclysm 'of the Elemental' gear

There are 20 of them in all,
but you only see combos appropriate for the gear it's applied to.

...of the Faultline (16.2% chance)
+285 Stamina, +190 Strength, +126 Haste Rating, +126 Mastery Rating

hmmm similar rings like Blauvelt's Family Crest and Band of Bees have like 1 more stam , haste and mastery. They should increase the stats on this cloudburst ring tbh

Comment by Ward5x5

So this ring can only have the Strength combos, not Agility or Intellect ones such as Of The Wildfire?

Strength - 359 / 372

Sorry warriors, but as of 4.1 and Al'akir's loot table being bloated with tier pieces and random enchant cloaks/necklaces, this ring has gone down to a drop rate listed as 'Extremely low' on the armory, which means even on 25 man it's unlikely you will ever see the one you really want.

Comment by Hotice2104

So what I'd like Blizzard to answer is why we Strength DPS classes are the only ones relegated to having our ring on Al'Akir when, as noted above, his loot table is now huge and he was always a more difficult encounter when compared the the conclave of jokes?

given the only other rings of 359 or better are:
Band of Bees
Ring of Rivalry (and heroic version of the same)
Dragonax's Signet (sinestra)

2 of the 3 above options have haste aside from Sinestra's ring which while great for DK's is significantly poorer for a Warrior and Paladin.

Comment by bloodglas

There is also Blauvelt's Family Crest, which is a copy of Band of Bees. And since it is a copy of Band of Bees, that would just make 3 of 4 great for DKs, but it is another option if you're willing to spend the money, or are just lucky enough to find it, since it's Cata BoE world epics.

Are those in fact the "Only Variations Possible"?

I would love to see those with Crit/Mastery or Crit/Exp.

But if that isn't possible the Hit/Crit would be much better than every other 359 Ring for Warriors.

to be honest the 365 PVP ring Vicious Gladiator's Signet of Cruelty
is better than the 359 Haste/ (anything other stat but crit) rings. Which they all are.
Haste is by far the worst secondary stat for all melee dps however we see it on all of our tier gear and now on all of our non-tier gear as well. It is on our Rings, Necks, Cloaks, trinkets and even on our weapons.

All I can say is that I hope itemization of actual useful stats are given in future content.

P.S. The Heroic Sinestra's Dragonax's Signet was left out because it is fairly unattainable until end current content heroic raids and can't really be done until you have mostly 372 gear anyhow.

I am referring mostly to pre-heroic raid content drops I.E. 359 Ilvl PVE gear.

with the release of the PTR notes apparently NOT...Masterwork Elementium Deathblade

O-o soooo much haste

Comment by Sient

In my opinion they added the random enchant so everyone pretty much has a chance to roll on it. Just a guess.
