Another shaman in velious topic!

Should in your opinion sure. Should in classic, definitely not.

The ring is still the best ring for shamans outside of the Vulak+AoW ring combination. That being said the ring will be rough to obtain on this server.

Should as in on lucy it says it should only overwrite the regen slot. Its not a matter of opinion its a matter of how buff stacking works.

Yes and EQ buff stacking takes the best.

If you have Ring Clicky (10 Regen, 10 ATK, and 10 DS) and someone casts a Regrowth (15 Regen) on you... The Regrowth will overwrite (cause it's the higher regen value) the ring clicky and you lose the other benefits of the ring clicky.

I distinctly remember ring holders getting annoyed with druid regen clicky BPs in Velious and PoP cause it would overwrite their ring and prevent it from sticking until they removed regen.

Same reason when I cast Cheetah it strips my wolf form. The Runspeed on it is the same slot and better value. I lose the ATK and vision benefits of wolf form at the cost of the higher Runspeed. That's how EQ Buff stacking works.

There were weird classic examples of allowing regen stacking (see the Fungi Staff+SoW/Regen example). That is due to old buff code which we do not have working on this server. Nor is it something that would've let the 10th ring and regrowth to stack.

But I think we are in agreement on this?

Tl;dr - Ring is boss.
