Circlet of Shadow and FD

I read from this guide that: "If a mob cannot see invis and you invis right after standing up (eg, a Ring of Shadows click), it should clear aggro. This is how Necros and SKs clear aggro using a Circlet of Shadow.

This is an old bit of information. It does not work like this anymore, it was nerfed quite some time ago. You use to be able to do that, and it made necro's amazing pullers.

Now you have to work with memblur mechanics associated with the mob. Mobs with a static spawn point, will have a chance per tick to memblur while your FD when they return to there spawn point. Pathing/roaming mobs do not share the same chance per tick and will often require several FD attempts (or just /q out) to wipe aggro.

If that's the case why spend 20k on a circlet when you could get a postnerf and a gazughi ring for much cheaper

Are they up to 20k? Last I saw they where around 12. But because its clickable from inventory and still an instant invis click makes it superior than having the other two. Also its self only so you dont have to go through the extra step of targeting yourself when breaking charms.

There does come a point when price outweighs its value. If they're up to 20k, it maybe better to just carry a few invis rings you cannrecharge and roll with the gobby ring.

I remember Circlet of shadow going for millions in Live. Its an amazing item. Just cuz it was 12k a month ago that don't mean it will stay at that price. Buy one right now if u can afford it at 12k-30k cuz it will only go up. Elder beads jumped from 30k to 100k after it was nerfed and now people want 300k-500k for them?

I'd have to argue those are tunnel cat prices. They pretty much swawp between themselves with the occasional person locking down a lottery item/saving up and taking one off the market. This day in age, it's absurd to pay those crazy asking prices for elder beads. Carry a bag of stalking probes. 500 plat, and you have 50 charges. Throw an extra in the bank for recharges, they're dirt cheap to recharge.

CoS, is definately nice, but over carrying a gobby ring and invis rings, your just paying a convenience charge to not have to swap a ring and target yourself. I've had mine from before the nerf, but I would certainly say 12-15k is worth it. If they go over 20k, naaaah...that's money well spent else where.

The discussion of price makes me wonder, since I did spend my entire life savings on the circlet. I think the infinite invis charges makes it worth it since now I can scope out dungeons and bank in peace.

I'm surprised that you don't think 20k is worth infinite invis. I see lots of items for sale around here, and some of these do not look that useful but cost lots of money as well, just for marginal increases in +HP/Wis/Int over other droppable gear, but for some reason cost so much more than their counterparts. I can think of lots of things. Not quite what I would spend my money on as a caster if I saved it instead, when you can get so much very acceptable gear for 500p or less.

For example Ice Silk Pantaloons goes for 14k for some reason.

Wow. All the artificial price-setting here.

Don't buy for more than 11-14K, folks. There are an ass-ton in circulation and plenty of sellers who are willing to part with one for a fair price. 20K+ a recent gouging effort by the tunnel rats.

[Nixtar]

Still haven't payed more than 12k for a CoS. Do not believe the hype. The people auctioning them off for 20k+ have probably not sold a single one. They're still plentiful.

A+ for effort from the EC flippers in this thread though.

If Chardok 2.0 is ever released Necro's and every other class that can cast invis over level 49 will have access to a 2.0 second cast time unlimited Gather Shadows ring. Not instant, but better than the nerfed CoS 5 second cast time.

It wasn't farmed 24/7 for 5+ years on Live. Elder Bead's only dropped for 4 or 5 months on P99, not 4 or 5 years.

Ice Silk Pants go for 14k because they are expensive to make and have like a 50% chance of failing the combine. If a tailor buys the mats paying 1k per Ice Burrower Silk it's close to 7k per combine.

Lol flippers are saying it's worth 40k now
