The Ring of the Ravenous is one of the strongest Ancestral Unique rings for the Barbarian in Diablo 4, offering powerful synergy with Brawling skills and the iconic Rend ability. This ring significantly enhances the Bleed gameplay style by improving Rend's effectiveness, extending its duration, and enabling you to apply Bleed passively through your movement and mobility skills.

In this guide, we break down how to get the Ring of the Ravenous, all of its stats and affixes, and how its unique effect transforms Rend-focused Barbarian builds.

What Is the Ring of the Ravenous in Diablo 4?

The Ring of the Ravenous is an Ancestral Unique Ring exclusive to the Barbarian class. It is designed around enhancing Rend, one of the strongest Bleed-scaling core skills available to Barbarians. The ring also empowers your Brawling skills, enabling them to act as supplemental Bleed application tools.

If you're running any Bleed Barbarian setup-especially combinations involving Rend, Steel Grasp, Charge, or Leap ring becomes a build-defining upgrade. It's often acquired alongside other premium Diablo 4 Items that push endgame Barbarian builds to the next level.

Stats of the Ring of the Ravenous

The Ring of the Ravenous rolls with a powerful set of offensive affixes:

·+11.0% Critical Strike Chance (Up to +16.5% with mastercrafting)

·+60.0% Vulnerable Damage (Up to +90.0% with mastercrafting)

·+2 to Brawling Skills (Up to +3 with mastercrafting)

·+3 to Rend (Up to +4 with mastercrafting)

These stats alone make the ring competitive with endgame legendary jewelry. Extra Critical Strike Chance, huge Vulnerable Damage scaling, and increased skill ranks all stack perfectly into typical Bleed setups.

Unique Effects of the Ring of the Ravenous

The real power of this ring comes from its unique effect:

Unique Effect

·Rend's duration is increased by 8 seconds.

·Damaging enemies with your Brawling Skills applies 2 stacks of Rend's Bleed (once per enemy per second).

This effect is what elevates the ring from "strong" to "build-defining."

Why It's So Strong

1. Rend duration extension keeps Bleed up almost 100% of the time.

You spend far less time recasting Rend, letting you focus on movement, crowd control, and burst windows.

2. Brawling skills become Bleed spreaders.

Skills like:

·Leap

·Charge

·Ground Stomp

·Kick

Can now apply Bleed simply by hitting enemies, dramatically speeding up your AoE application.

3. Massive synergy with high-pace Barbarian setups.

You no longer need to manually apply Rend to every target. Instead, you spam Brawling skills to spread Bleed while focusing Rend casts on elites.

4. Excellent for push and speed builds.

Your bleed uptime increases. Your mobility increases.

Whether you're upgrading through drops or deciding whether to buy Diablo IV gear for the rest of your gear, the Ring of the Ravenous is a must-have for any modern Bleed Barbarian.

2. Run Nightmare Dungeons

Nightmare Dungeons are one of the most consistent ways to obtain Ancestral Uniques due to:

If you're farming this ring, add NMDs into your loop alongside boss horde runs.

3. Participate in Helltide Events

Helltides are the highest world-event unique drop source.

This is the most consistent way to target farm rings specifically.

4. Gamble for Rings Using Obols

Visit the Purveyor of Curiosities and gamble for rings.

This method is pure RNG and has a very low chance of dropping Ancestral Uniques-but if you have thousands of Obols stocked up, it's still worth trying while doing your regular rotation.
