While I do use star of eyes on my enchanter, all three of those do have drawbacks. Star of Eyes and Rod need a target to cast, so it can screw you up if you aren't mindful of that. Surveyor scope zoom is annoying.

Shrunken gob earring is the easiest to use, and earring slots generally give you the least stats anyway.
Personally I've found "requires target, 100 range" sucks (star of eyes? and bracer of the hidden) but "requires target, 200 range" is fine (rod).

I can't think of any situations where I've not been able to use the rod because I didn't have a target. I seem to always have a target. It's much better than wasting an earring slot on an item with basically no stats.

If you don't have a target and need a GCD refresh, you should rethink why you don't have a target and either target your self or stop hitting escape between casts.

I feel like the Maple Leaf Mask is pretty underrated, unless you do all your fighting indoors.
Wand of Allure for instant recharms, or Puppet Strings if you have very deep pockets.
Eyepatch of Plunder for the HP and junk buff.
Cloak of Confusion and Wurm Lord Shawl for all around great stats.

I am just bringing up counterpoints as to why those items are not "preferred for GDC". On a Shaman, goblin earring is better than star of eyes because cannibalize is a target-less spell we use often, for example. You need less button clicks to chain cannibalize with goblin earring. Of course you can always target yourself or another target first, but it is possible to lose your target due to a mistaken click, button press, being out of range, etc.

Having your dedicated GDC item in your inventory also means you lose a bag slot. So you are trading like 35HP and 35MP on your earring that gives very little stats anyway for -10 inventory slots. More inventory slots can easily out-weight 35HP and 35MP.

On the other hand using the inventory slot makes it less of a hassle to swap the clicky for jboots when outdoors.

I do agree here, if you do NOT need all of your inventory slots to be filled with bags, then it is a great convenience. With my enchanter I use JBoots as my GDC item outdoors and star of eyes for indoors. She is only level 26 atm, so I do not have nearly as many swappable items in her inventory yet. In her case, I can afford to lose a bag.

Both my Shaman and my SK have 4-5 bags filled with clickies, resistance gear, keys, reagents, etc. So I am loathe to give up a bag slot on either of them, reducing the amount of space I have available for monster drops to 20 or less hehe. But I use https://wiki.project1999.com/Coldain..._Insignia_Ring on my Shaman, which is the best GDC item IMO, along with ring 10 if you get it. Only time I would reconsider using ring 9/10 is if I ever went neckbeard enough to get AoW Ring + Vulak Ring.

If anyone wants to help the wiki, the suggestions in this thread would be perfect for https://wiki.project1999.com/Equipping_an_Enchanter, so that Enchanters could have a wiki list of key items similar to https://wiki.project1999.com/Equipping_a_Druid, https://wiki.project1999.com/Equipping_a_Necromancer, and https://wiki.project1999.com/Equipping_a_Shaman.

You are correct, there is no single item that has Flowing Thought VIII on it.

He means you have a Flowing Thought I, Flowing Thought II, and Flowing Thought V item equipped simultaneously. Flowing Thought stacks with other Flowing Thought items if they are different numbers. So I + II + V = Flowing Thought VIII in total.

Cloth casters can get Flowing Thought VIII in total because they have https://wiki.project1999.com/Essence_of_Nature (Flowing Thought V), https://wiki.project1999.com/White_Dragonscale_Boots (Flowing Thought II), and a number of Flowing Thought I items.

Z heart, ring 10, FT8 (vulak robe if you're going bigly), epic, big cha items to get at / near 255 (orb of spinning confusion, cloak of confusion, etc)

after that just go for HP / AC...vyemm gloves are amazing

clickies

thats about it (lol overkill)

255 cha is not required, especially if you're close but have bigly HP/AC item instead
