Is there some aspect of this or the math behind it that I do not understand? If it reduces the damage that you take, that is good, right? Or does it only reduce damage to me if I would otherwise get a mortal attack against me?

    It is rather a snooze compared to basically all of the other rings. Sure it can reduce the damage you take, but it takes effort to maximize it’s benefit.

    Consider that it’s affect scales with how low your health is. It also applies the reduction after armor and it rounds the result in favor of damage.

    This is just a ring you’ll wear until you find something better, or transmute it, if it’s upgraded.

      Add to this that it’s pretty opaque as to how it actually functions, and the description is very easy to misconstrue, it just feels both unreliable and deceptive.

      I don’t like the ring of tenacity and usually swear out loud if I get one.
