I have no problems with a Hornet's Ring. I usually don't wear it, because my rapier will hit for 1200-1800 damage. But, I do wear it on my weaker toons (like the one last night where I wasn't balanced and had very little time). I also use it as a "buff", if my opponent buffs (with a serious buff), including red tearstone ring. I'll also equip it against a turtle.
But, parries are high risk/high reward, so it isn't an unfair buff. I just felt bad that one attack I did would one-shot others or take them down to minimal health with only 1 hit.
Last night was great, we were going into the wee hours of the morning. There were also a constant supply of random invasions and random summons. It was hopping!
Also, I realized I suck as an antigriefer host. Here I've got GMB, TWoP, Lightning Spear, GC, 20 estus to heal my whites, but did I use any of it? Nooooo, I just jumped in like an idiot.
