The epic effect for a monk includes an attack component. Does this stack with all of the Monk Epic effects?

This is really hard to do mainly cause if you mess up on the 3rd wave of gaints the coldains you need to protect die as fast as an orc vs a 60 rogue. You can't kite the adds off cause the coldains agro on them injure them so they then summon... But its one fun fight and pretty much as much fun as any higher lvl gm event.

Two part question for you ultra-ubers:
1. The ring is lore, but can you wear it with the 9th ring?
2. If so, do the 9th and 10th ring effects stack?

Shield of the Eight and Frostreavers Blessing do not stack. Frostreavers Blessing has "Block spell of effect is 'damage shield' and < 10"

You CAN wear a lower ring and a higher ring at the same time, just not 2 rings of the same 'level.'

Any guild that has an opportunity to finish the 10th ring quest will absolutely do it. Theres more loot that results from the finished quest than just this ring. Plus, you get bragging rights.
The end of the quest is like nothing I've ever seen in-game. Really brings together the Velious conflicts between the Coldain and their frost giant adversaries. You basically command a Coldain army and battle against the giants. The less coldain that die in the battles, the more loot you get at the end.
This is most incredible quest in the game.

And why wouldn't a guild do this for a necro? Unless this is a guild who considers itself "uber" and doesn't give a wit about helping other members with quests if they so desire. Guilds who neglet other members to make sure the Holy Trinity has the best gear out there makes me sick.
And this is a great item for tanks, shamans, and necros.

And if an 'uber' guild refuses to help their necros with this quest, they're missing a few brain cells...
Seriously, regen is *the* most coveted effect for necros...some will pay 75+ kpp for Zlandicar's Heart -- and that gives what, 5-6 hps / tick regen? The 10th ring gives TEN hps / tick...
Lich steals 24 hps per tick and gives 20...As an erudite sitting at level 58, I naturally regen 6 hps/tick. 10th ring would mean I lose 8 hps per tick due to lich instead of 18 -- drastically decreasing the amount of mana I have to spend to tap back lost hps.

ha "uber" guilds have better things to do than quest. sorry but its true. I'd rather make a push for time than help a necro get a ring, go figure. i want the best loot in the game and i want to get my guildies the best loot in the game, and doing quests doesnt kill boss mobs *thumbs up*

And that's exactlty why people say that joining uber guilds takes the fun out of playing everquest.
I'd personally much rather use time on helping a guildie with this quest just because of the fact that it's a lot of fun rather than make a push for time because maybe some other guild might pass my guild by in uberness..... get a life.

Then once you have the best loot in the game:
What the hell are you going to do with it?
Some people play this game for entertainment. Go figure.

I suppose that would be valid if it stacked with cast regen but shaman/druid regrowth is better for necros..
I suppose your statement would be valid if every group had a shaman or druid in it. Or if necros never soloed.
Death Pact 4hp for 2mana Lvl8
Allure of Death 8hp for 4mana Lvl20
Call of Bones 16hp for 8mana Lvl34
Lich 32hp for 20mana Lvl49
Demi Lich 48hp for 31mana Lvl56
Arch Lich 53hp for 35mana Lvl60
Master of Death 63hp for 44mana Lvl60
(Most of us will never even see some other necro with the last one)
So for example, my current level/race (56 DE) affords me 6regen per tick. Add a Zland heart, or a Robe of the Enslaved Soul (both are 5hp per tick, and as they have the same effect I don't think they stack but I could be wrong I have neither yet). Total of 11hp sitting per tick. Then add aura of battle for another 2, makeing it 13. Now add this item for it's 8, and you get 21hp per tick. Even with Chloro for 15 more and you get 36hp per tick, easily out paced by Demi Lich, and there are 2 more up grades to that.
So to put it plainly. A lvl 60 Necro, properly regenerateing, and not haveing to waste to much mana on life taps can almost double the mana regen on your cleric. And as we all know, and tank is nothing without a heal. We all need each other to Raid, but a necro doesn't need anyone to solo. Can any amount of regen allow a Warrior to Solo to 60?

Clarification on your clarification. Lich is 20 hit points for 20 mana at level 49. As of a patch over a year ago sometime, they accidently reduced its rate to 20 hp loss and they posted that they were going to leave it. It has been this way for quite some time.
Update on the Clarification of the Clarification ;)
Well if it did get changed to 20hp for 20mana, it got changed back, Eqcaster (the spell parser that I have personally never seen get any spells horribly wrong, other than splurt) reads 32hp for 20mana, and according to a RL friend whose a 52 DE necro, it's once again 32hp for 20mana, checked last night (since I have myself a young necro to play when LFG gets boring, and was doing research). Were you taking your innate regen and sitting/standing status into consideration when you discovered this? If you were somehow regenning 12points a tick, it would appear as 20 for 20.

Clarification on YOUR clarification. I don't usually speak up unless I know what I'm talking about. You might have a friend that plays a 52 necro, but I play a level 60 necro. I regenerate 15 hit points per tick sitting. With a level 49 lich, I lose 5 hp's per tick.

Heh I just checked how much hp I lose with each effect on me. (I don't have demilich yet)
Lvl 60 Dark Elf Necromancer Regen 10hp/tick sitting
If you take (actual damage)/(stated damage) you'll
find that the lich line does exactly 75% of the stated damage. I recall reading somewhere that the lich line didn't due full damage to a person because the effect was considered pvp damage. Its the same reason why spells and dots won't do full damage to other players in pvp. Verant realized this but thankfully decided to leave the "bug" as is.

Yes Lich line spells take in account the -33% damage of the PvP (ie real damage done = 66% damage written on the spell specs), that's why there is very few ratio improvement from Lich to Arch Lich (only speed modifications, you lose more hps you gain more mana), or you would get like 2 mana for each hp lost :D

"and necroes have anything else to do with mana besides twitching the clerics?"
Yeah sure.......
"and necroes have anything else to do with mana besides twitching the clerics?"
Yeah sure.......
Let's see... what do necros have to do with mana... hmm.
DoT (at level 60 necros get a 40dps DoT); Heal (I've given clerics room to get off CH with compacts before); mez adds WITH memory wipe; charm adds if undead; mana drain; debuff ac, atk, str, resists; and heal self with lifetap nukes/dots.
If you're playing a necro in a group and you're not constantly having to juggle to maintain enough mana, why AREN'T you?!

Well I play a 53 necro (almost 54) and I can see going out of the way enough to do this. One problem is that the benifits of the initial ring quests are minimal. The AC is nice, the STR helps you carry loot (esentially) and the MR is useful. But IMHO, until you get up to this one, the costs of the quests outweigh the benifits of the rewards.
Unfortunately, I made an erudite (Kunark wasn't out in 1999) necro, but I'm trying to imagine a level 60 Ikasar necro with this and in Demi-Lich form with a regen staff.... Not sure on all the numbers, but they may loose no health.
I probably wont persue this, but more power to any manna seeking casters that do!

This is the single best ring in existance at this point in time. Personally, I think every necro in the game should be after one of these. Good luck to ya...doubt you'll ever see one.

It also stacks with almost all known damage shields, and regen.

It will not stack with Okeil's Flickering Flame (big loss I know) or Call of Earth (a little more disappointing) or chloroplast. However the damage shield is more than twice of okeil's and call of earth and the regen is equal to chloroplast. basically it's like having both on you with one cast, great timesaver. The real advantage with stacking issues is the ATK bonus, it stacks with ALL other buffs that provide attack increases. For example a level 60 ranger could cast Strength of Earth and Call of the Predator on someone with this ring and all 3 attack bonuses would stack. That's a base increase of 75points to attack actual attack increase being noteably greater. So overall by using this effect your overall gain is 6DS equal regen and 10pts of attack. and the only loss is 26ac, if your not the one taking most of the lumps in a fight this is nothing but benefits. A primary tank may prefer to have chloroplast and call of earth on instead for the extra ac, but a damage dealer who fears getting aggro while wants to optimize attack will undoubtably have this as the preference.

Don't forget this is an instant cast item, such as ring 8 and 9. Which has it's great uses for certain times. The stats are enough to make this ring kick ***, the effect is just icing n the cake.

It doesn't stack with shaman ds potion, making it useless for the really big mobs. Still nice for smaller mobs where you don't want to waste a potion.
well yes, i suppose if you're a class that never solos, always carries shammy potions around, doesn't recognize the value of an 100hp ring, and constantly has someone there to buff them with chloro/regrowth or better, then i guess it's not that good. then it's only a 10ac 100+hp ring, right?
but there are many, many, many, many, many times where the typical player will not only find this immensely useful, but also lifesaving. they will love this item.
oh, and it may not stack with call of earth, but it sure as hell stacks with warder's protection =D!

Well, to add a late reply to another late reply, show me a player who doesn't even have the luxury of potions and buffing and needs to solo and I'll show you someone who can't muster a force big enough to ever see this ring.

Effect on this ring is +10 regen, +10 atk, +10dmg shield. Definitely one pimped out ring.

If the stats wern't enough to consider this to be the best ring in the game, what does the effect do?
