A ring of shock resistance is a type of ring that appears in NetHack.
Contents
Description
While worn, the ring confers shock resistance - this prevents you from taking any shock damage, though it can still affect your open inventory and destroy other wands and rings. The ring of shock resistance is also immune to destruction from shock damage.[1][2]
Strategy
An identified ring of shock resistance is a somewhat common choice of ring in the early and mid-game when dealing with monsters the pick up a wand of lightning, as well as troublesome shocking spheres and energy vortices - thankfully, all but the energy vortex can be handled with relative ease once a character obtains the intrinsic. After this point, or once a character obtains reflection, it is best kept as an emergency measure for energy vortices: either source of the property blocks shock damage from exploding spheres, and reflection stops all damage from rays of lightning.
History
The ring of shock resistance first appears in NetHack 2.3e.
Messages
- Static electricity surrounds the sink.
- You dropped a ring of shock resistance into a sink - this will prompt you to type-name the ring.
Variants
dNetHack
In dNetHack, the ring of shock resistance auto-IDs if worn.
Message
- Your finger feels numb!
- You put on a ring of shock resistance.
