You don't have any evidence that Goblin Ring specifcally helped saved nuke mana, or is more efficient.
You don't know when the instant cast component of Goblin Ring helped and when it didn't. This is because you can do the same things without instant cast invis for charm break.

It is possible that your experience of losing less mobs with Goblin Ring was due to you getting bettter at charming, rather than the Goblin Ring itself.
If using Goblin Ring makes you feel more efficient, that is awesome! This is a game, so you can play how you want. If you want to make a factual claim about Goblin Ring being more efficient, you need to provide more evidence than simply personal experience. |
No it was overnight getting the ring.
With a 5 sec cast you can mistime it due to missed rounds and then break casting and recast but then rounds hit for full damage so you restarted too late and your mob dies. Or start early and have to nuke more. Perfect timing makes you a slave to RNG and prone to fumbles.You can back off your mob and cast but in cramped spaces, with casters or while reverse charming that is not possible.
Now if you're fighting bullshit trash mobs it isn't too bad, they'll get 2-3 swings in before invis lands.
Now fight with a hasted and torched krup and you get 1 attack every second which means 5-6 swings of 0-600dmg before invis lands. That big damage range gets harder to predict accurately.
Sounds bad? Try a classic 4vs1 HS reverse charm where your pet will eat 8-12 rounds before invis lands. Or maybe a crystal fang clear which is a 5vs1. I don't know if you ever reverse charmed but one round your pet loses 3%hp and the next it's 18%. When your pet goes from 20% to 2% within a second you lost it without GGR.
And we aren't even talking about smaller packs in seb with wizards and shamans thrown into the mix which might end up in wilder damage spikes.
Those mobs also have a lot more HP so it gets harder to get them to a sliver of life with precision.
I know it helps because I lost about 12 mobs from 44 to 60 with GGR and 75% of them was user error. That's near 100% kills on several thousand mobs. Nearly all those fights I finished a mob with a single submax nuke. I wasn't nearly as efficient 12-44. That's not a flex or hyperbole, that's just how easy GGR makes it once you get used to it.
What evidence do YOU have that you could be as efficient with invis/ROST in such situations? Situations that are routine for a soloing chanter mind you.
But even if you could be as effective with ROST it comes with extra fiddling and why would you do that for minor perks like easy access to an inferior invis and negligible stats?
