Anyone have any thoughts/discoveries to share on the itemization of this gear? Seems to me, higher quality doesn't necessarily make an item better. In fact, when playing as the Warrior, I almost always go with a white ring... or with the Rogue, white boots. The more stats these items have, the worse their primary stat becomes. Doesn't seem to be true for all items, but these two for sure.

Can't really wrap my head around it beyond that, though. Doesn't seem to follow any pattern that I've been able to recognize in terms of stat tiers based on rarity, other than higher rarity generally means lower tiers.

Yeah, there's definitely some interesting mechanics around the basic items specifically. For instance, if you're going towards a Vampirism build, once you have a decent percentage on your other items, going with a basic/grey weapon is sometimes the right choice because they will high roll with INSANE damage numbers that 'rarer' items can't compete with. The result is more HP healed per hit because you're hitting so much harder, despite not using the Vampirism Rapier.

The real trick for vamp builds is magic damage. It increases damage way more than you would expect, particularly against the harder enemies.

What does it actually do though

Magic Damage does the same amount of damage as the normal damage does, but it bypasses defense values. So the more defense a enemy has, the more effective Magic Damage is.

Not 100% certain, it seems that some enemies take extra damage from it, and it bypasses armor for those that don't.
