Pool of the item type from the game files, version 2.8.0. Skill damage bonuses only carry weight for their class. All properties of this slot
The warriors of the Teganze believe that every being senses the Unformed Land waiting for them, whether they realize it or not. This band can disrupt that connection, resulting in an emptiness that rivals even the most excruciating physical pain.
Damage against cursed targets
Ring of Emptiness is a core multiplier for the Witch Doctor: you and your non-Fetish minions deal much more damage to enemies affected by Haunt or Locust Swarm. The ring thus ties your curses directly to all your remaining damage.
That makes it a must-have for curse-centric builds where you blanket every enemy with both effects anyway. Tip: Reliably apply Haunt or Locust Swarm before landing your main damage so the multiplier is always active, and note that the bonus reaches full effect outside Fetish builds, since Fetishes are excluded.
The power's roll range
The bonus rolls between 250 and 300%. A copy at 279% sits above the midpoint, and a Primal Ancient delivers the full 300%. Because the ring raises all of your damage against marked targets - including that of your non-Fetish pets - every extra percentage point carries through everywhere.
Which rune keeps enemies marked
Only one of the two effects is required, so you can pick whichever skill suits your play. Haunt costs 50 Mana and jumps to a new target when its host dies; with Resentful Spirits you release two spirits per cast and mark several enemies faster. Poisoned Spirit makes haunted enemies take another 20% more damage from your attacks. Locust Swarm costs 300 Mana but spreads on its own - with Pestilence it jumps to two additional enemies instead of one, which is ideal against dense packs. Devouring Swarm grants 25 Mana per second while the first enemy hit is still covered by the swarm. Also keep in mind that the runes change the damage element, so pick one that matches your other damage bonuses.
Stats and partners
Every copy carries 4.5–6% Critical Hit Chance, plus Intelligence at 416 to 500 points. Beyond that, look for Critical Hit Damage, a socket, Attack Speed or Cooldown Reduction. You can also put the power into the jewelry slot of Kanai's Cube. Common partners are Lakumba's Ornament, Ring of Royal Grandeur, Shukrani's Triumph, Squirt's Necklace, Convention of Elements and Sacred Harvester.
The flavor text draws on the belief of the Teganze warriors that every being senses the Unformed Land waiting for it - this band severs that bond and leaves an agonizing emptiness behind.
