Could someone explain to me why people think this thing is such a big deal? The stats suck. Yes, it give a freebie clickable invis spell but SKs and Necros get that spell anyway so it's not like it gives them an ability they didn't have before.
Honestly I don't see what the fuss is about. I play a necro and I wouldn't pay 100 platinum for that thing.

It's a huge deal. It's game-changing for a necro or SK. If you FD with a KoS mob right next to you, you can stand up and clicky-invis immediately, before the mob has time to aggro you. Instead of having to wait for the mob to path away, or having to flop away and absorb hits, you FD and you're immediately in the clear. Further, you can keep yourself invis'd at all times, since with no casting time, you can re-invis on the run. Never worry about invis breaking again.
However, the utility of the item doesn't have anything to do with the rarity of the item. The fact is, the item is a fairly common drop off of an easily solo-able mob and it will continue to drop for, at an absolute minimum, 6 months. It's not a viable plat camp at this point. If it's camped 24 hours a day, you're going to be pumping about 10 CoS's into the server every day. After a week, you're looking at 70 CoS's. After a month, 280. And it's only usable by two classes. Every level 30+ necro and SK on the server is going to have one of these by the time it gets nerfed.
It's worth ~10k today, just because it's extremely useful and you'll have it a month before it becomes *really* easy to get. But in 3 months, it's a 2k item.
