+[[Obsidian Ring of the Zodiac]] is a [[legendary ring]] that can be found in Diablo 3 and Reaper of Souls.  This item can be found and equipped by any class. This item's name (and formerly stats) were an homage to the "Ob/Zod," the most popular magical ring in Diablo 1.
-The [[Smart Drop]] system ensures that this ring will usually roll with the [[mainstat]] appropriate to the class that finds it. Rings are generally considered offensive items, and most players insist on [[Critical hit Chance]], plus other [[trifecta]] stats and a mainstat.

 ==Obsidian Ring of the Zodiac properties==
-This item does not have a [[legendary affix]], but is fairly popular due to the guaranteed bonus to all attributes and All Resistance, plus two random primary affixes. The database entry isn't clear, but this item at level 70 always rolls with 150-170 to all 4 attributes, 91-100 to All Res, plus two other random primary affixes. One of these (or both) is often mainstat or vit, which adds to the 150-170 to that property from the inherent affix.
+This item was completely overhauled in Patch 2.1, losing the +All Res and +All Attributes that were its stats during D3v. They were replaced with four inherent primary affixes, giving this item zero variety in the main stats. It also has an unusual 4/3 affix arrangement, with 2 random secondary affixes to go with the inherent secondary bonus to indestructibility.
 * All stats listed in the database scale up to the level of this item when dropped.

 ==Trivia==
 [[File:Legendary-ob-zod-ring.jpg|right|thumb|ObZod preview, Blizzcon 2011.]]
-This item is inspired by and modeled after the famous "obzod" ring from Diablo 1, and the lore makes that reference clearly. The Diablo 1 item was not a unique ring, but simply a magical ring with "obsidian" (+30-40% to all Resistances) for the prefix and "of the zodiac" (+16-20 to all attributes) for the suffix. The Reaper of Souls version does a nice job incorporating those bonuses, and adding random properties to them. This item is far from the most powerful ring in the game, as it was in Diablo 1, mostly since +to all attributes isn't such a valuable property in Diablo 3. But at least the theme is correct.

-That wasn't always the case, and when this item was first previewed leading up to Diablo 3 in 2011, its inherent properties were +damage, +vitality, +2 random properties, bonuses that had nothing to do with the Diablo 1 item it was named after. The developers heard this complaint and improved the item thematically, showing it off with new, more-relevant affixes at a Blizzcon 2011 panel.[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/diablo-3-gameplay-and-auction-house-panel]

 In the meantime, please note that once the all-stat affix has been removed there isn’t a way to get it back, so be sure to keep that in mind when enchanting the ring until this address can be addressed. </blue>
-The bug was fixed in a subsequent patch, in May 2014.
+The bug was fixed in a subsequent patch in May 2014, before the ring was redesigned entirely in Patch 2.1, released in August 2014.
