What do people use Puppet Strings for?
 

I should know this but I don't.

I know it's used to do the OT Hammer quest but there has to be more to them...

right?

You can use them to grab a pet to help get you out of a tough spot or kill a mob you couldn't solo otherwise. A tank can use them to generate aggro. Can use to complete the OT hammer or other quests that require certain faction from a mob.

Probably more, but those are the main ones I know.

That's the gist of it, really.

It is just a powerful effect. You can use it to break camps you might not otherwise be able to break solo, an instant click CC for sketchy situations, aggro, quests, Etc. There is a solo fungi king video of a monk and he uses strings to pull it off.

Cheap hate toy is all that I use it for.

soloing/duoing stuff you normally couldn't

But it's 800p a charge...

Its 800p to recharge with a pair (~400p to buy each one back from vendor). With 10 charges, comes out to about 80p a charge

ah that's not too bad then

One of the hardest icons to see in your bags. So frustrating, wish they were more visible.
