Multi-set build with the new ring?

General
1

I wanted to start theory crafting based on the primordial ring that was shown off in the recent trailer. TL;DR if you haven’t see it: It counts as a set item for all your sets and gives you various generic bonuses per completed set. I’m sure there will be some more normal uses for this that will allow some new unique interactions that weren’t previously possible with the sets, but I’m interested to see if there is the possibility of a build that tries to maximize the buffs you get per completed set.

I’m gonna look things over more later, but for now, any thoughts?

I’d also be curious to hear any particularly interesting opportunities for regular set builds that can fit in a new unique, but I’m definitely thinking more about the former atm.

Since you opened this thread, I’m going to answer here as well:

Mike just said that the second ring won’t count for the set count, so it’s like you mentioned and it counts as a named item of the set.
He also said that the other bonuses shouldn’t work, though I’m not actually sure why they shouldn’t.

My first thought was Gaspar’s Set togehter with Dark Shroud of Cinders.

I think in general most of the really exciting stuff this new ring will enable are certain set and unique combinations that were not possible before.

Using this ring frees up the weapon slot and let’s us use the shattered lance set on a 2 handed staff cold conversion upheaval.

Upheaval gives a ton of cold pen and we scale health regen to gain %cold damage.

I would be interested in multiple set builds. I’d even be interested in a sets-only one. Either with the set piece or a set affix.
Some sets seem to interact well, like Boardman/Ferebor, but I don’t think most synergize well, so I don’t know how feasible that would be.

RoRG finally made it to LE.
perhaps now people will finally start using set items.

As interesting as this is for build possibilities, I do hope this isn’t their only solution to set still being kind of bad. It’s got a similar problem to the set affix crafting in that some of the cool effects are tied to affixes on the set items themselves. Some of the set affixes already miss some of those and this obviously completely gets rid of that. For example I was thinking about if you could do something with Gaspar’s set, but you lose out on one of the decimate procs by doing that.

I always wanted to do a shattered lance build but the issue is wearing the relic since relic slots are so important. Ontop of that if you are doing a health regen build feels weird to not use vessel. I guess now you could use vessel with that ring and cook something insane up ward.

Before I get crazy with set ideas I want to have more clear information on exactly how the ring works.

So just thinking about the T-rex relic which should be amazing in a plethora of builds. Then of course the Wisp ammy, I absolutely love ignite. Gonna be a fun Season for theorycrafting.

This is the most sets I could fit into a build (6 sets)
I didn’t do the build, but thinking cold shaman.
The unique ring takes the place of the new one.
