We have to talk about one of the new Mythic Item Sets that will launch with the High Isle Chapter for ESO (Elder Scrolls Online). The set in question is the Oakensoul Ring Mythic Item that will improve the power of One Bar Builds like crazy.
When we are taking a look at the stats of the Oakensoul Ring it becomes obvious fairly fast why this is such a strong new mythic set launched with the High Isle Chapter. The ring is made for one bar builds, because when you equip this ring you actually won’t be able to swap bars anymore.
And because we get a handicap of only having one bar, the ring will boost our stats a lot as you can see below.
- (1 item) Adds 300 Weapon and Spell Damage
- (1 item) Adds 3816 Armor
- (1 item) Adds 300 Health Recovery
- (1 item) Adds 300 Magicka Recovery
- (1 item) Adds 300 Stamina Recovery
- (1 item) Adds 2658 Maximum Health
- (1 item) Adds 2658 Maximum Magicka
- (1 item) Adds 2658 Maximum Stamina
- (1 item) While equipped, you are unable to swap between your Primary and Backup Weapon Sets.
This will make the Oakensoul Ring one of the best items for builds like the One Bar Magicka Sorcerer for ESO. Now you have the choice between the Oakensoul Ring and the Ring of the Pale Order for one bar builds. Alcast is working on new one bar builds on ESO-Hub, go check them out if you want once they are ready.
To further showcase how powerful this ring is, lets take a look at the stats. The first bonus is 300 Weapon and Spell Damage, you usually only get these stats from the last piece bonus on sets like Law of Julianos or Hunding’s Rage. Now we basically get these powerful 5 piece bonuses already with only that ring. Same thing for the armor, 3816 is a lot of extra resistances that mitigates damage.
In addition, we also get 300 helath, magicka and stamina recovery. Usually we have to use complete 5 piece sets like Amber Plasm to even get close to these high recovery stats, but here we get it with the 1 mythic ring.
And most important in my opinion are the extra resources. 2658 health, magicka and stamina is an insane boost. Health is always great to survive longer and more magicka and stamina can always be used for skills or movement. When playing a magicka build the extra stamina can also be helpful to dodge roll more often. And instead of maybe a tri stat food like Bewitched Sugar Skulls that we previously used to have enough stamina, we can now use something like Clockwork Citrus filet to also get even more recovery, as stamina is also covered by the Oakensoul Ring.
The Oakensoul Ring will make solo arenas such as Vateshran Hollow or Maelstrom Arena a lot easier, especially for newer players. More experienced players may still want to use the Ring of the Pale Order to boost healing with their high damage output. Of course this is true for any content that you can play solo or even in a group when you play dungeons and you prefer to use one bar setups.

The Mythic got buffed when it was released on the Public Test Server, here are the new stats:
- Oakensoul Ring
- 1 – Adds 450 Weapon and Spell Damage
- 1 – Adds 5280 Armor
- 1 – Adds 450 Health Recovery

That is an insane buff to an already overpowered Mythic Item Set. I doubt this will make it to the live server.
