Oh , I guess I just didn ' t notice the ' X ' there . I suppose the Gaming X model is the overclocked one , is it just a coincidence , that this model is cheaper than the ' regular ' one ? <| sep |> Well hello , me . How was your day ? <| sep |> Crit is typically the worst or second to worst secondary stat while haste is either the best or second best stat , all depending on your other gear and the situation . The answer to your question is that any piece of gear that is an upgrade in performance is any good . you might experiment and find out that the added haste plus haste proc is actually quite strong in cleave pulls of 3 or more . Sim your gear and test it out . situations could arise where hotswapping the ring in and out for pulls where the passive can be utilized vs boss fights where it can not be utilized is a viable option .
