Recommended Ring Item Level to Replace Cyrce's CircletCyrce's CircletLegendary Skipper's CitrineWindsinger's Runed CitrineCyrce's CircletStill Overtuned?

Our goal here is to make the ring a clear choice for the remainder of Season 1, as well as keeping it relevant in Season 2, where it should compete with Heroic raid gear and be replaced by drops from the Mythic raid and high M+ dungeons.

Did the recent nerfs bring Cyrce's Circlet more in line with their goal? Why do so many specs value it so highly?Cyrce's CircletFathomdweller's Runed Citrine

Looks like the stats are the best options which is lame but I appreciate having a guaranteed easy to get strong item.Comment by wtfmangi hope its still viable in s3!Comment by Centias Furthermore, this is all random rng passive damage. Thats boring and lame.consideringComment by Jakoso i gotta wait till i get a 678 ring on my Shaman to replace my 658? good lord will thats going to be a whileComment by hordalds1 (OR 1.5) gear should NEVER EVER EVER be BIS for the next season nerf this thing to the GROUNDComment by InspobotLooks like the stats are the best options which is lame but I appreciate having a guaranteed easy to get strong item.Comment by bmanxx13s1 (OR 1.5) gear should NEVER EVER EVER be BIS for the next season nerf this thing to the GROUNDComment by AlustrielLike it or not, you ONLY need better loot to compete in the newer content of dungeons and raids, you don't do them and just stay in the open world, you can run through it with the initial greens and blues you get doing the campaign when the expansion launched.

IF, and I say to all those who do enjoy group content and friendly competition between each other, if that is your thing, then yes, go upgrade and constantly grind for better gear as that is the overall theme of any MMO, if you don't have the best you can get, you generally die and take your friends down with you when in a raid.

I say expand upon the Circlet, give it some more gems and boost it for the season by offering some new quest chains so that it is an overall expansion must have rather than its limited short duration of two or three months then on to the next ring to get or craft.Comment by MazareAPlaying assassination and survival this patch so it looks like I'll replace my ring in S3, if they don't nerf it again.
It doesn't bother me.Comment by fuzzybear99100% ok with there occasionally being pieces that last across 2 seasons. Jewellery and trinkets would be good candidates for this. A new season being a 100% complete clean slate is one of the things I actually dislike about retail and where Classic had/has a better philosophy.Comment by ChumpacabraHow did Guardian go from replacing the ring at 665 on the old chart to 672 after the nerfs?Comment by FLambdaEssentially, the specs that have Cyrce's Circlet Cyrce's Circlet as BiS are ones that favor the secondary stat MasteryComment by glassleoThis comment section is a bad take factory as usual :DComment by glassleoEssentially, the specs that have Cyrce's Circlet Cyrce's Circlet as BiS are ones that favor the secondary stat MasteryComment by CorpselanceWhat was the point of making a cool upgradable ring if we're not keeping it and continuing to upgrade it with Kaja'mite Citrine, or something? Fail developers.
