CoS nerf vs. prenerf

[VII]

Could someone explain all the different uses that are exclusive to the instant click CoS that warrant the cost difference of 250p to 70000p please? There's gotta be something super op about the CoS I can't think of and would love to know before deciding to throw down the plat for the item.

Calling all necros, explain it like I'm five. Thank you!

It's situational for sure, but there's things you can do where standing up from being FD and instantly being invis is advantageous. It can save your life in a bad situation and allows you to move through areas that having a cast time on invis would prohibit or make more difficult.

instant pet charm break, invis upon immediately getting up, and free invis/spell slot aren't enough of value proposition for this cost. someone has the juicy tricks that make this worth the price? can't just be these few things.

does it reset aggro? does it have strange pull mechanics that if cast invis after a pull mobs take different paths or behave differently that would be in your favor? are there camera tricks allowing vision through walls/doors using it? are there wall passing tricks like the illusion tricks with eyes of zomm?

I’d hate to see someone pay more than 20/30k for this...but you never know. The main difference in price is also that the pre-nerf no longer drops...people have way too much plat in this game, but more power to em

The fact that it does those 3 things in addition to it no longer dropping on blue makes it nearly invaluable to the people who have it. I picked mine up a few years ago for around 25k and I would never sell it.

It's a situational use luxury item, honestly. Plenty of folks have leveled necros/sk's without it and been just fine. If you're broke or don't have spare plat laying around then don't worry about it. It's not a game breaking item, but it does bring added utility in certain situations for those that have it. The price is mostly linked to the fact that it doesn't drop anymore, but they were farmed like crazy before they stopped dropping so there are still a lot around. The 60-70k people want for it now is really just a drop in the ocean when you consider how much plat is floating around the server. It may not seem that way if you're newer or casual, but it really isn't all that much plat for a handy item. The price should plummet if Green ever merges, but that's a different can of worms.

The cost comes because it doesn't drop anymore. nothing else.

If you just need instant click invis you can buy pots way cheaper at merchant for few times you need it instant, or for instant charm break use another ring that does instant click invis to animals (it breaks charm too).

pre-nerf isn't worth the plat, unless you just have plat to waste. people say there is ton of plat floating around, maybe for a few people who just play a lot. most of us filthy casuals I think don't have 30k to our name, so meh.

There are certain items in the game that open up new areas of the game. If you don't have these items, you will never notice what can be possible.

Pre-nerf cos is a must for a necro, if you truly wish to experience everything possible with the class in this era. It's the first step.

[Ripqozko]

Just save 70k and get a bag of invis rings. Hope that helps.

1 cos > bags of rings and other items alone is worth the price, let alone unlocking the full capabilities of the class.
