( За тези, на които им се чете ) That's right folks its me again, your favorite forum poster, AZAZEL, the evil spirit of the wilderness. Back with some more raging about the failures of our beloved Diablo, this time the subject will be the god awful Hellfire Ring.

Where do we begin...

Well, i think the Hellfire Ring is garbage and a complete waste of time. Why is that ? Because the only thing that makes this ring so special is the 35% bonus experience, which eventually becomes useless, and the stupid fireball that deals no damage and looks pretty lame and uncool. I mean what were they thinking: "HEY LETS COPY-PASTE ZOLTUN KULLES FIREBALL ONTO THE RING, ITS GONNA BE SO TOTALLY AWESOME AND VERY ORIGINAL". Come on, jesus f. christ was that the best you can do ? THE ALL MIGHTY MULTI BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY BLIZZARD COULDN'T THINK OF ANYTHING BETTER THAN A STUPID COPY-PASTE FIREBALL ? I bet it didn't take you more than half an hour to do that. How absurd.

And you know what else pisses me off ? When i fight uber zoltun kulle with more people, i can't even distinguish which fireball comes from him, how do i know which one to avoid ? So stupid.

As for stats, "HEY, LETS ADD 35% EXP AND GIVE IT 4 RANDOM AFFIXES, AND PEOPLE WILL TAKE FOREVER TO ROLL GOOD ONES, YESSSS GREAT IDEA". Now, some may say it can roll with crit chance/damage, attack speed, whatever and become the best in slot, but guess what... so can any other rare ring, except without the exp bonus which lets face it.. is not that important. So let me ask you, what makes this ring so special ?

Let me give you a few ideas about what the Hellfire Ring could have been...

Instead of choosing the ring's main attribute, it could have been made to chose a class, if you chose Demon Hunter it rolls with dexterity, Wizard rolls intelligence etc... Instead of 35% exp, it should have been a (lets say 20-30%) bonus damage to a certain spell, if you craft the ring with a demon hunter/monk it rolls with a DH/Monk spell etc... it could still be the usual spells like hungering arrow, bola shot, energy twister, bash and so on...

And maybe make the ring always roll at least one of the essential affixes, crit chance/damage, attack speed, maybe even average damage... because without these, the ring is always garbage.

This way even if the ring doesn't turn out to be what you expected, it could still be pretty good and you will still want to get a better one with the perfect roll.

OR

Instead of a ring it should have been a charm, or something you wear in you inventory. But then again, characters might become way too op, and we all know that PERFECT BALANCE IN A SOCIALLY ISOLATED SINGLE PLAYER GAME IS VERY IMPORTANT.

Also, i seem to remember we were promised NEW areas when they introduced us with the uber bosses, so where are they ? Its the same areas you fight Ghom, Skeleton and Siegebreaker, only with a slightly different color theme (THANK GOD FOR THAT) to look a bit darker. The only new area i see is the little house where you open the three portals, and i would bet a 100 mil gold its a copy-paste as well. I call this.. PURE LAZINESS. It feels like every single thing about this game was rushed, even the paragon levels... it was but a desperate attempt to bring the people back in an already dying game, which is just sad.

All in all, blizzard are too lazy and the ring is not worth the trouble.

That's about it for now. Feel free to call me an idiot, moron, noob or any other lame insult... but bare in mind that i do not have any feelings you can hurt.

Over and out...
