When I leveled my enchanter I started with a GGR, but didn’t like how I had to swap to myself first before invis and then tab target to my pet.

Turns out you don’t have to wait til the very last minute to break charm. Works well, still use it.

The disagreement in this thread isn't really about ring of stealthy travel vs goblin ring. Here's a quick summary:

* OP asks for some advice on rolling a druid "doing as much charm killing as I can", including a question about gear at the end.
* Loramin proposes spending the entire budget on a goblin ring. Several people advocate instead for buying HP/AC/Mana gear, including myself, Toxigen, and DSM.
* There's broad consensus that the goblin ring is very good.
* Toxigen and I say that it isn't necessary, as we've both charmed our way to 60 without one. No one else really agrees with us. Toxigen's position is that it's no more than a minor QoL improvement. My position is that if you can afford one you should get one, but if you can't afford one you'll do just fine charming all the way to 60 on a druid.
* DSM says the best part of the goblin ring is the mana savings from not having to cast IvA, plus saving a spell gem.
* Everyone else points out that spell slots aren't a huge constraint for druids (but is still a nice perk), and DSM drops it.
* Everyone else says that the best part of the goblin ring is the instant cast. DSM disagrees vociferously and then the next 40 pages happen as a result.

The ring of stealthy travel isn't relevant because you can't use it till level 49 and this thread is in the context of leveling a charming druid. My opinion is that by the time someone is close to 50 they'll have had enough experience to make their own choice.
