add one invis vs. animals in there at 30 mana and that's what you're gaining from the ring. virtually nothing, because if you're running out of mana more than once in a blue moon while charming you're doing something wrong.
Charm soloing is fastest if you are a min/maxer and sadly almost everyone is, but outside kedge (which most druids should avoid like the plague cause its too dangerous for the average player) and perma bear pits the exp differential between charming and other methods of killing is over stated.
If you never quad and never root rot you've missed out on a good chunk of the druid "experience". And if you want to group then that goblin gazughi ring is going to be found to be totally useless when you're OOM as the group healer.
I'm not saying you shouldn't buy one. I'm saying you should buy the other basic gear first. I'm saying if you're 5k short of buying a hiero cloak you should sell the ring and buy the cloak, and then buy another ring later when you get another 5k.
Druids arent just an exp solo class, they can be a class to solo for valuable loots and to do that, you mostly have to root rot. If you go for that ring at low level you slightly increase your ability to charm solo totally at the expense of having enough mana to do anything else. You could completely equip the toon for that 5k, enabling him to use all the tools in your arsenal, or you could buy one item and wear cloth armor for the same price. It's just not logical to blow your whole bank on the one item.

its not about that 30 mana, its about being able to determine exactly when charm breaks as opposed to its gonna break in 5 sec, i hope the mob life is where i estimate it will be and not higher so it beats on me and i have to use mana to heal and not lower so it dies right before the invis goes off and i lose the xp and waste time.
