Arcstone ring - Diablo III Blue Post

	This ring has an interesting concept to me. I found 2 of them so I gave one to another player to try it out. 1) It is lacking visually. A single line of electricity, it just looks weak. 2) It is weak. Mostly because it doesn't fire very often and it seems to only hit in a single line that I saw. I certainly wouldn't give up another ring just to use this. Suggestions 1) How about if it worked with multiple players wearing the ring. i.e. more than 2. 2) Widen the path of monsters it can hit. 3) Visually thicken the electrical beam and make it less of a straight line. Or add bolts of electricity going up in the air or down to the ground.. 4) I wasn't sure of the distance it would work but it seemed short. Maybe increase it ?

If you don't mind sharing some additional info, it would helpful to have. For starters: You mention that the visual effect "looks weak." Can you clarify a bit what you meant? For instance, does it just not feel all that powerful visually, or is the problem that it's difficult to see when you're in multiplayer games, or when playing solo (if there are a lot of other visual effects going off at once)? When you explain that you wouldn't give up another ring to use it, is it because it doesn't fit your play style, or is the ring not powerful enough to be useful for any build in your class (if so, please let us know which class you're using)? If you find Arcstone isn't powerful enough for you to want to give up using another ring, what would have to change about it for you to use it? (Keeping in mind that each item in the game will have different uses, depending on your own build and whether you're playing solo or multiplayer.) Knowing the answer to these questions will give us much more robust information that we can share with the dev team. I'd also love to hear from other players who are using this item what their experience is, and well as their answers to the above.
