Do you have an item that has not just given you incremental stat gains, but has actually changed the way you play the game?
I know as a paladin my BEST item is my Ghoulbane, which just started procing for me. It has turned me from being mediocre DPS on all things to be an undead DPS machine! This has encouraged me to focus my group and solo efforts in areas teeming with the undead.
What about you? Have there been any single items that have totally changed your play-style?

As sad as this may sound, right now it's my Shield of the Slain Unicorn. I never used it back in the day because everyone talked about how crappy it was. Sure you can't bash with it but at level 21 a 10/40 1H weapon aint all that bad. I kinda like double hitting for 20 and/or crit for 40 in the offhand (before the damage cap increase). And the extra AC is a nice added bonus. I'd say it's underrated.

I'm curious, does it get any sort of damage bonus due to the long delay or is the >=40 delay bonus only given to 2-handers?

sad to say for my necro it was my manastone. but it changed the way i played and i didnt like it. 55555555551555555555155555555515555555551555555555 1 wasnt much fun as it was OPed. (5 being manastone 1 being lifetap)
so i sold it.
right now, i would say the blued two-handed hammer for my pally twink. before his DPS was sad, now its pwn-tastic and i have even done a few AE groups with its awesome proc.
when i was playing my war it was Axe of the Slayers. Allowed me to solo with a war, never could with any other weapon(s) i tried.
My best item is my haste cloak - but aside from increasing my dps, I don't think it really changed the way I play.
The only item I can think of for a monk that *drastically* changed the way I played were elder beads, but as we're not in velious and eye of zomm isn't classic here in regards to aggro - doesn't really matter I guess.

According to stats it's damage bonus is the same as 1 handers. Would be cool if it had the 2H bonus but in that case you might see more people using it. I'll probably hang on to it until I can afford a second obsidian shard, I'm still working on saving up for the first one. Still the shield is not a bad off-hand choice for a lowbie warrior, considering the price is anywhere from FREE to 25pp.

When I was able to buy my Mortificator staff, I had still been using a Skull of Jhen'tra. So the wisdom and mana boost I got from that purchase was extremely noticeable. The graphic is also quite cool. As far as gameplay not much has changed since I don't consider myself a 'melee shaman', however the proc as of recently has been very useful against healing and CHealing named mobs in places like Kedge.

lol first comment on the manastone on the website is:
"I have one of these and use it when powerleveling any caster types. Usually they level so fast that they fizzle like crazy on trying to cast AE spells. Run around with damage shield on and pile them up to a noob who can AE or use AE potions and bam. They fizzle out, then try clicking the mana stone to get all that mana back. Works wonders, don't have to invest time in working skills up to get the job done.
If you know how to use them properly, they are highly highly valuable. Mage went from level 1-75 in 3 hours."
I had a GBS gave it to someone after i killed pyzyn
