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. The advent of Legendary Gems has made a socket a very sought after ring property as well.

Trivia[edit | edit source]
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.
Diablo 3 Evolution[edit | edit source]
When this item was first previewed leading up to Diablo 3 in 2011, its inherent properties were +damage, +vitality, +2 random properties -- attributes that had nothing to do with the Diablo 1 ring. Fans complained loudly, and the developers heard and adjusted the stats, giving it an appropriate bonus to All Res and to All Stats. This thematically improved version was shown it off with new, more-relevant affixes at a Blizzcon 2011 panel.[1]
The ring was buffed again in Reaper of Souls, but ran into some bugs with item enchanting on the stats (detailed below). Perhaps due to that issue, the item was redesigned in Patch 2.1 with all influence from Diablo 1 removed from the properties.
Reaper of Souls Enchanting Bug[edit | edit source]
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, before the ring was redesigned entirely in Patch 2.1, released in August 2014.
