Yes, the drop rate must be far lower. I've been racing through
Marudon (when I'm bored) and in 7 or 8 tries she has dropped everything but the bloody ring.

Yes, the drop-rate is rather low, but the ring is worth it.

Princess runs are much faster than the end-game five-mans, making this a lot easier to get.

Still have it equipped on my 62 warrior. The hit is absolutely priceless in Outland.

also nice for a prot warrior cause of the stamina and AP is good cause it makes them do "reasonable" damage, kinda like https://www.wowhead.com/classic/item=25804 unless u take the tank necklace, (i took the necklace from scryers quest in Netherstorm (https://www.wowhead.com/classic/item=30378)

In higher instances, chance to hit is a factor. You are aiming for enemies that have high defense skills (increases miss rate), dodge and parry bonuses (increases miss rate), and are higher level than any toon can become (increases miss rate). Hitting more often is a factor and should not be downplayed when the hunter is a source of DPS, assuming the hunter hits often.

BTW, this does not apply for most of our special shots, those are usually treated like spell effects and hit unless parried, dodged, or deflected (aka not enough attack power to pierce armor). If the shot says arcane, nature, fire, or anything-other-than-weapon damage, hit percentage is not usually a factor.

But for sake of argument, as why Hunters always call dibs on Crit items (obviously a Rogue who whined about it, because Rogues claim the exact same thing), the reason is pretty F*ing simple if you look at the math, jackass. It takes Hunters 53(!) Agility to get 1% chance to crit. It takes Rogues only 26 Agility. Therefore 1% has a higher Agility ratio value to Hunters. I'm not saying Hunters should get priority over Rogues (or vice versa), I'm just saying Rogues who don't understand why Hunters drool over crit stuff are ignorant.

Patch 1.8: "Items which provide +hit chance will now be allowed to counteract the increased miss chance penalty of dual-wielding."

Comment by Thottbot

I and a pally friend solo her with ease.
I am a druid, btw.
Just stay out of range with the AoE, then when she fears go bearform and tank til the tank gets back. That is if the tank didn't resist the fear in the first place.

Comment by Thottbot

Looking at some of these just makes my poor head hurt. "OMG! ITS A ROGUE RING!" "NO PALLY!""NO HUNTER!" ..sad. Look at the thing. its good for all 3 classes. even for druid who shifts. As for this whole thing i keep seeing "WTF would a hunter roll on this? if they roll on this ill ban em from my group or make fun of thier mom!' or somthing just as stupid. I guess they should go into instances without anything on? yes? no? its great to be at the bottom of everyones list of eq. ""Hunter isnt melee so, no weapons for you..unless it truly sucks then you might get a chance to roll on it if the mage dosent want it for disenchanting" Yeah, we melee, ever done pvp? ever see somone charge a hunter? "Your pet will protect you" who pays attention to the pet in pvp? the mage might notice it after he snares it the procedes to fireball your ass..or sheeps the pet.. "You have traps!" hey great! love traps! too bad you can SET one while you getting attacked and now with the new patch blizzard did they can now be seen. Are we helpless? no but its a pain in the ass to go on a raid several times to get somthing and people just tell you 'no dont roll its not a hunter item" jeze cut us some fraggin slack will you? we need equips too. Im not saying let us have everything but for gods sake, give us a break, lol

Oh and yeah, we DO like things that add to hit/crit and +ap power. (and yes, for the last time, attack power affects ranged attacks too, if you dont belive me get a + attack power item and put it on while wearing a ranged item. it clearly goes up. now if it said Melee power and a hunter rolled for it I could understand)

Comment by Thottbot

this is an amazing pre-MC ring

i was wondering if any rogues have tried stealthing and then soloing the princess / was wondering if it was possible for a 60 rogue all blue non epic gear

Comment by Thottbot

fury warrior is the class that need % hit most of all classes.. but i ofc its nice for hunter,rogue and even feral druids to:)

nice pre MC ring:)

Comment by Thottbot

Theradras can be soloed. It takes 12 minutes to my sacred/protec pally.

Comment by Thottbot

She can be soloed. I have done it on my 60 priest. Just run around SWP Shield and Renew. Cake

Comment by Thottbot

As a level 52 hunter I ran Mara for the first time and this dropped. Everyone even the casters rolled. Luckily I got it.

Can be used for many classes but obviously is better for some. But often in random parties it isnt about who needs it the most, its who needs it and wins the roll.

This and don julios are looking nice :)

Comment by Thottbot

oh jeah and next time i roll for intelligence rings.. and cloth armor, cause they are good for rp or dinner .. omg

think about what this ring means for melee classes and what benefits you as a caster have.. 6 stamina, if you want stamina you can buy a stamina ring but dont roll on it if warri/rogue need this... -.-

every mage/priest/warlock roll at this ring is imo unable to play in team and respect the need of the other classes, think about how you feel if some ass roll something he really don�t needs

(yes a warlock rolled on this, too bad that you cant attack own side ...)

Comment by Thottbot

I WANT THIS RING! I tried her a few times hasen't dropped yet but im going to stay possitive, i will just keep trying till i can do templel, =D

Comment by Thottbot

I solod her with my 60 fire mage. Frost mages might have an easier time with iceblock/ice barrier/cs/ice barrier dunno. But its definately possible.

Comment by Thottbot

I just got this ring. :) Im a feral druid. And i guess it is a good ring for us to?

Comment by Thottbot

I'm a tank andf i thought wow this ring looks awesome so i roll need for it and guess what....so did the priest

/sigh PUG's FTW right?

Comment by Thottbot

i know how u feel, but about the sword in ZF he was right, warriors/paladins DO NEED it more than rogues or hunters, individually those swords suck, just look, and they wont do any good for a rogue, but combined makes 1 hell of a weapon for lvl 50, trust me im using it right now, for hunters its not good u shouldnt even melee! so stay the &*!@ away from these swords. no offence of anythin.

but yeah class proirity 1st, but for items like this ringt ANYONE who can use should roll no matter what everypne in group says, they dont like it? @#$% them than, just leave the group and join another big deal

Comment by Thottbot

It's got stats that a hunter, rogue and a warrior could all use, simple %^&*ing as... Just depends who needs it in your group or w/e to decide who gets it...

I only looked up this ring cos I saw a priest in IF with it on! rofl

Comment by Thottbot

Ok, so this ring is good for dps classes in general. With patch 2.0 however, hunters should look abit more fondly on it. I got a 60 hunter main and am considering running Maraudon again as the AP on this ring beats the Mason's Fratertinity one I've had since my first ever ZF run. I could also use some +hit shizzle as well.

Comment by Thottbot

I agree that it is great for a hunter as well, but the dual wield penalty being what it is and that burdening rogues and fury warriors makes them best suited for this.

Comment by Thottbot

it isnt a bad ring, quite decent actually. Probably the reason why the shammy wanted the ring was because he was an enhancement shammy, meaning that they are based on melee attacks. any class that melees should be entitled to roll on this ring. and hunters as well.

ie Warriors, Paladins, Druids, Shamans, Hunters, Rogues

Comment by Allakhazam

Definetly one of the best rings going, from a melee perspective.

Comment by Allakhazam

So is 1% chance to hit only help outwith making procs go off more? OR would it acutally make me hit more with my bow? I'm not sure cause i've heard people say one or the other. I'm a hunter thinking about getting this ring to replace my 7stamina, 6agility ring.

Comment by Allakhazam

Got from Princess Theradras in Maraudon.

PS She is Ugly...

Comment by Allakhazam

Just got Blackstone ring the other day from Princess . I rolled for it and to my surpirse the other Rogue passed lol, his lost =D.

Comment by Allakhazam

I've seen this ring drop 4 times from princess, 2 times it went to a pally and the other 2 went to hunters, but me, fury warrior, gets nothing :(

Next time its going to be rogues who win...not me again...

Comment by Allakhazam

Am I the only one who things this is better for rogues than tarnished elven?

Comment by Allakhazam

So, did a guild run through here today. 2 mages, a shadow priest, and a warrior. The shadow priest is level 60, I'm level 61, the other mage is 47, warrior dinged 36 while in here. He greeded the ring. He could've totally used it. First time I ever saw it drop too.

Lots more guild runs through here.

Comment by Allakhazam

This definitly compliments a rogue best, warriors are better off getting something else becuase 20 attack power is only 10str to them and it is 20str for rogues.

Comment by Allakhazam

someting all melee classes can roll on. even hunters because of the +1% to hit. I would like it to be "classes: warrior" on it :D (would get me it on 1-2 runs)

Comment by Allakhazam

6 stam is nice
stacked with thet trinket from the horde quest in the hintelrands which gives either 20 or 30 attack power, it can give u a nice boost

Comment by Allakhazam

was going to get two but theyare unique :(

Comment by Allakhazam

Last night, I did princess run for the first time. My group was awesome and I was the only rogue in the party( I am lvl 52).
We run it in 45 min including killing rotgrip and the goblin. But the coolest was that this ring dropped AND the crocscale boot, needless to say I got the 2 items, in my FIRST RUN! =D

Comment by Allakhazam

I never ever win this freaking ring. I've done Maraudon 10+ this week and it has only dropped once. Getting tired of spamming /4 with Maraudon inner, people surely thinks im a psycho.

Comment by Allakhazam

this ring dropped my first princess run, but i didn't roll on it at the time because i was only 46.

the forth time i downed the princess, the ring drops a second time, and i was the only one who needed, so i got it.

now i just need the shoulders from razorlash.

Comment by Allakhazam

He got one. On the second everyone passed and we all rolled again and he won. For some reason it let him pick it up. I assume this isn't supposed to happen?

Comment by Allakhazam

This is good for feral druids

kthxbye

Comment by Allakhazam

put its not +str its +20AP to rogue and warrior... so who counts how many str it converts

Comment by Allakhazam

got this one with 97 roll i think. Second time i did princess it dropped again, me and a hunter rolled and i won again. But i cant have another one so i told him to have it. It was kinda funny

Comment by KonigsTiger

The best ring for melee classes, tanks and hunters as pre raid.

As a fury warrior, this is extremely important because they don't have any +hit from talents. Needless to say, other classess will absolutely go for it because it's bis for them aswell.
As a hunter, it's very important, but let's face it, the added 1% hit on them is not as important as it is for fury warriors. I would hate to lose the ring to a hunter if I was a melee class.

As a tank, the ring is very important too. You never want to tank with no extra hit, because your threat will be super bad.

If you can get this while leveling, it will make your life so much easier.

Comment by Martyriaa

Sometimes you just get lucky. Got this today on my 50 dps warr on my first Mara run :)

Comment by Nath2866

18 runs 2 drops, unlucky those 2 times, ran 8 times with a select group and still unlucky, no drop, nightmare

Comment by Oldbury

This is no longer the pre-raid best-in-slot ring for Hunters now Dire Maul is available as it has 10 ranged attack power and ~0.28% crit chance (and ~0.58% dodge if you care) less than Tarnished Elven Ring, while it's only gain is the +6 stamina and +5 melee attack power (for Hunters). However the Blackstone Ring is still a valuable stepping-stone ring for Hunters (particularly because they can solo Princess at any gear level) until they can solo tribute runs which, for most players, will require a degree of gear.

This ring is still pre-raid best-in-slot for Fury Warrior and Enhancement Shaman, and offensively for Bears and Prot Warrior.
