The Royal Signet of Doric’s favored main stat is Power. It appears to have the correct stat spread for a normal Ascended ring. The top 3 stats are highlighted in green.

Marriner’s Compass seems to be flawed. Power should be 71, like Royal Signet of Doric’s top Power stat, not 32. The Power and Toughness for both Ascended rings are the secondary valued stats. Also, only the top 2 stats of Marriner’s Compass are highlighted in green. I’m fairly certain this was unintended, because the main stat spread totals 132 points; an Exotic ring with similar top stats = 163, and Ascended = 171.

5%MF replace 71 Power, i don’t think it’s bugged.

Incorrect. Take a look at the stats from the sample Exotic ring and Marriner’s Compass. The 5% MF on Marriner’s Compass is part of the “upgrade slot” section of the stats, which is independent of the top stats. The bottom line is that the power stat should be 71 on Marriner’s Compass. Marriner’s Compass is currently inferior to Exotic rings, and possibly even Rare or Masterwork. I’ll do comparisons with those tomorrow.

Here are some Rare and Masterwork quality comparisons as well:

Shaman Ring of the Explorer (Rare)

59 Vitality
42 Healing Power
42 Condition Damage

3% Magic Find
14 Precision
14 Power
—————————————————————————
Sapphire Mithril Ring of the Cleric (Masterwork)

39 Power
39 Toughness
55 Healing Power

18 Healing
12 Power
12 Toughness

You can see from all of these rings that there is a clearly defined pattern for stat totals. The top stats from the Rare ring total 143 points. The top stats from the Masterwork ring total 133, one point more than Marriner’s Compass. There is no question that Marriner’s Compass’ Power stat should be 71. At present time it is slightly worse than a Masterwork ring with an Ascended upgrade!

Marriner’s Compass’ counterpart, Circle of Light, also has the same incorrect core stats.

talking about “mf replaces power in value”

“Snaff’s Gyre”

50 power
50 preci
10 MF

18 preci
18 power

compared to marriner’s its 5% extra MF for loosing 32 stats, so it might be even intented.

For comparison:

Snaff’s Gyre (Ascended)

Yakkington’s Ring and its counterpart, Snaff’s Gyre, are both correct in their stat representation at least. The 10% MF = 2 × 5%, one 5% for top core stats and one 5% for the bottom stats. The MF is obviously the top stat, which is why Power and Precision have the traditional secondary stat values.

Again, as a fair warning to everyone, for now Marriner’s Compass and Circle of Light are slightly worse than Masterwork (Green) quality rings with Ascended upgrades. All of the other Ascended rings are correct.
