==Strategy==
==Desirability==
Whether this ring is useful or not is largely situational, although life protection is decidedly less useful than fire or cold resistance. As most draining attacks are subject to [[EV]], very agile characters will not generally need much negative energy resistance. However, high-AC, low-EV characters taking on the [[shadow dragon]]-heavy [[The Vaults|Vault]]:5 may wish to have a few ranks in order to avoid taking heavy damage and the skill debuffs that accompany draining attacks.
For most of a 3-rune game, negative energy isn't common. You may come across occasional enemies with negative damage, such as [[jorogumo]]s, [[deep elf death mage]]s or [[shadow dragon]]s, so it's nice to keep a source of rN+ handy.
 
In [[extended]], negative energy and [[torment]] are much more common; having good amounts of rN+ is more important. However, dedicating an entire ring slot to a single source of rN+ isn't the greatest. Note that [[The Shining One]] provides rN+++ to pious followers, making this ring redundant.

A ring that protects the life-force of its wearer from negative energy, making them partially immune to the draining effects of undead and necromantic magic.

A ring of positive energy provides one level of negative energy resistance (rN+), protecting its wearer from draining attacks and necromantic magic.

Desirability

For most of a 3-rune game, negative energy isn't common. You may come across occasional enemies with negative damage, such as jorogumos, deep elf death mages or shadow dragons, so it's nice to keep a source of rN+ handy.

In extended, negative energy and torment are much more common; having good amounts of rN+ is more important. However, dedicating an entire ring slot to a single source of rN+ isn't the greatest. Note that The Shining One provides rN+++ to pious followers, making this ring redundant.
