Hey everyone, The ring of elemental command is such a cool item and I figured I wanted to open this up to people offering their opinion on what their favorite element is for the ring… as well as…. what shenanigans they get up to with it. This can even include particular builds and characters designed around it to best harness it’s crazy powers.
For me, I really feel like the ring of earth elemental command has such incredible potential… The air ring lets you fly with hover… The fire ring gives you fire immunity… The water rings give you a pretty high-level spell to play with as well as completely dominating any situation with water. All of them seem to completely dominate their own elemental plane.
The more I consider it, the more my love affair with the earth ring develops… Not only for wall of stone and stone shape, which can absolutely destroy dungeon encounters or at least completely manipulate them to your advantage every time…. …..but even more for the earth glide movement ability so you can quite literally Martian Manhunter your body through various rooms in a dungeon, surprising and annihilating anything around a corner or in an enclosed room. Walking directly through stone, a wall, a floor, or even a ceiling is so shattering to even some of the most threatening foes and tricky situations.
For extra prowess in this ability I feel a warlock would be ideal. At least seven levels of warlock would get you ghostly gaze, which allows you to see through stones and walls and such. Now you can glide through while tracking your target or your prize constantly once per short rest with the gaze. Not only moving through walls but seeing through them for the duration of the gaze. Sticking with the theme, perhaps a genie warlock… just before level seven, you reach level six, which grants yoy genie flight with hover. Getting in a slightly smaller sense the best ability of the air elemental ring already.
I know most of the Internet has a pretty big consensus on which ring is the strongest, but keep in mind this is just my opinion and is the way I’m having fun with it right now and I can’t stop thinking about just how awesomely fun this is. cheers :)
