I mean if you have the HP, you take that much more damage. So the question is, is the change in HP and defense stats negligible? As in does having the higher defense have the same effect as the amount of HP or is the this change so little that I wont notice the change either way? Or would one be better than other, by something larger than just a few HP per attack taken? And the third is the one that increases casting time. Now, the other three rings I will not be removing at this time. P.Def-Slash/thrust are both 229 and go up to 304.

HP 1126, removing HP ring takes them down to 1073. Here are the stats in question and the change that would take place. Like just now, I just got the Steel Protection +1. Swapping out for rings that help me better as I progress. Not using regen rings anymore and things like that. I am not finding that I am getting to that point with this character now also. I had a set that I had on unless I needed to swap one or two out for specific situations. With my first melee character I hardly had to think about it. Which leads me to thoughts on which ones I should use and the true effects of using them. And I am starting to get a good deal of rings. And I've gotten about 1/3rd of the way through the game again.
