Trivia
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.[1]
Reaper of Souls Enchanting Bug
There was a bug with this item when Enchanting first went live. The item allowed players to select any of the individual attribute bonuses to enchant, even though they were all part of the same special attribute that added to all stats. Thus players were surprised when they tried to turn the unwanted Strength or Dexterity or Intelligence into something new, and found all of the attribute bonuses vanished. [2]
The bug was fixed in a subsequent patch, in May 2014.
