Effective uses for Dread Pirate Ring

[Cinderella]

I got my Dread Pirate Ring on my first attempt today. Ah yeh. I'm going to be first and foremost making use of it on my Warrior.

I was wondering though, beyond Warrior, what are some other effective uses for it? Classes/Specs. Effective uses being: classes that don't completely blow their hit out of the water when using it and can make good use of the Crit.

I was considering Ret, but I'd rather two Strength Gears as Ret. With Caverndeep and Valor Helm for Hit Cap. I may toss it over to my Shaman, paired with Yorgen's Boon. I think that could be fun. I'd gain some Crit but lose some Spell Power from my Owl Ring. Anywho. Discuss!

Depends if you're willing to run gnomer

Ele shaman DPR / Yorgen's always nice.

Sadly as cool as it is, it isn't incredibly useful on that many 24 classes (unless you want to forget Gnomer exists, in which case I wouldn't blame you)

I am talking BiS uses. Effective uses. Optimal ways to gear in which it can be used as BiS or as an equally good piece.
For instance. Obviously on a Mage it could be cool. But Mages tend to blow their Hit out of the water. Regardless. Surefooted is all too popular. Or could be dropped. But Rune of Precision seems like a crutch. That perfect 15 ain't easy on most.

Best use is to show it off.

Imo Gnomer rings > DPR considering showing off

It's not optimal because it has hit on it. You're almost always trading primary stats to use a Pirate Ring. Just wait until 6.0 when hit gets removed from the game, then we'll see what they end up replacing it with on pirate ring.

If it's haste/crit, then you can bet it will be comparable to other rings, but still not optimal.

That's a good way to look at it. Makes sense. Sometimes giving up a primary stat, because another piece of gear can offer it, can be effective. Just, not often.
