I would say it’s worth it for sure. I got mine in about 18 ectoplasm rituals made about 22m doing it that way. I’ve been using it to build stacks and switching to reavers when fully stacked, then switching back. Necro not having switches as is means switching to a different ring isn’t too bad.
I've heard it's a bit more worth it in places you don't have 100% damage potential, because it doesn't reduce it by further 5% like the reaver's ring. ... but even so, it's so lackluster... lol. I truly hope the necro rex matriarch makes it AT LEAST viable...
I threw it on for shits and gigs at the abyssal lords dungeon... its not the best but kinda works there. that extra soul chance helps use the finger of death slightly less and therefore keeping ur adren higher. Seemed to help prevent blowing all ur adren right before the skulls/living dead comes off cd. Super niche and idk if its better than rod, but better than reavers xD I do wonder how that ring would compare to RoD at say, Moss golems. You can hit quite a few at one time with that siphon ability, and the AOE with soul strike is decent there...
In its current state, the ring is simply "BIS anywhere Reaver's brings you below 100% hit chance." Hopefully the Rex adds an enchantment that'll make it BIS everywhere. Just to give more variety than Reaver's being BIS.
I’d put the ring as a good place, quest reward ring so can’t be to OP and probably is 4/5th best ring for necro should probably stay at this to keep other rings in similar spot
Sponge confirmed that 2nd hits of skulls doesnt give hit procs. Only the first can. Neither do conjures. Siphon is great because each hit counds as new hit since its a channel and its aoe so its a lot of proc chances. I believe it procs like lengs, only "hard" hits. Tbh, i think it could be 20% and it might be competitive with reavers. Its better where accuracy matters, but i think the proc rate is something hard to balance out to make worthwhile. Its a cool effect, i like it and like that it changes up necromancy rots and all, its just hard to break that effect afaik. What could be cool is if the upgrade makes the proc rate like 10-20% and increases the max souls by 1 or 2. Or maybe it makes it so you get 2 souls instead of 1 when you do.
Yeah. I was thinking that too, but imo, I'd like a crit% increase. I don't really wanna see the ring be a switch item because so many people won't do that. We NEED the crit% on skulls, its such an insane dps boost. I've gotten hm vork kills from 2:35-2:50 pmuch solely based on skulls critting. I like the max soul increase tho. Wonder how this ring would be if they reworked it to gain multiple chances on skulls, etc.
@@FroggieGames Yeah some crit chance goes a long ways. Much less impact with necromancy since it lacks a crit buff ultimate, but a crit on skulls is huge. Per soul crit chance with an increased cap of 1 gets to 6% max and that's not bad because you have use souls vs crit chance. Whete maybe building to 6 before ld rot is ideal. Rewards manual control more which im in favor of.
I found it very good fighting medium to large groups of enemies for this exact reason. Can build souls consistently with even t90 weapons, then threads a barrage.
I think you're confusing scythe procs with ring procs. The scythe generates souls fairly commonly but the ring seems only to be capable of generating 1, even with abilities like scythe/strike. I didn't mention it because I can't be sure the scythe was farming the soul or the ring... now that I think about it maybe it says if you unfilter chat but oh well... Like I said in the video, it might have niche uses where adren isn't important and you wanna spam strikes on low level trash mobs like at EDs or are using it as a switch for sap/touch but its realistically not very good
Jagex releases a ring that is not BIS and takes about 20 min to get your hands on. the community- THIS IS BS!! this ring is so trash, I can't believe they thought this would be useful. Jagex are a bunch of hacks. MTX... grumble grumble...

And here we are 😅 we got a finger of death ring and a volley ring. I guess they did good lol
@@carltonp420 Now all we need is a MAX Ring. A ring that allows you to put 3 rings inside it.
Capes are overrated.

It will upgrade the ring from 5% to 10%-20%!! Or possibly keep the 5% and add 2-5 souls!! OR!!! an additional passive affect!
I wonder how broken the ring would be if it was 'gain a soul every X basic abilities' so you can rely on it
Or maybe guaranteed a soul for every 30k damage you hit
All done! I got the ring in 20 rituals...
Obviously it's worth it. It's a comp req 😅 jk. Great video once again! Keep up the great work ❤

Also, the first hit of bloat can generate a soul, but DoT damage doesn't.
@@PragmaticTax correct
It just takes some quests and rituals so yeah it's worth it. Ring is like a 5/10 tho.
Phenomenal is pushing it but ye it aint all that bad
You are the best Runescape youtuber for me personally. Keep up the great content!
definitely meant to be a mid-tier ring. Necro Rex will drop an equivalent to Reaver's.
This is the filler ring. Since the other rings have some variation. Use it if u have nothing I guess.
It's 100% best in slot where you don't have 100% chance with Reaver's. This is a max of max level player problem and the ring is far from terrible.
new ring is so bad....
at 2:50
you still didnt receive a single soul
shit aint worth it and fk the quest haha
Yes. You're forggeting the summons. Scythe can also snipe 2 souls at once.
You're not testing it properly.
Why are summons important? They can't proc the ring anyways
I found it very good fighting medium to large groups of enemies for this exact reason. Can build souls consistently with even t90 weapons, then threads a barrage.
Scythes crits already generate souls so you might as well use a revers.

Awkward moment when someone is saying you didn't test properly without knowing necro mechanics themselves...
