The bio orb is fantastic for warriors; you cast it on incoming and as long as your monk team isn't full of morons you get a free instant proc. All of that 'WAIT FOR ASSIST' nonsense goes out the window. Procs and clicks really should be capped at 400 hate here (early Velious patch) which would be a huge balance change for Knights who have seen their role totally usurped by blinding Warriors.
It's also amazing for Monks because it is our equivalent of 'dark and park': just fire the orb and a reasonable time one of the mobs will randomly run towards you. It's better on TAKP where spells land more easily and NPCs don't attack pets or eyes, but it's still pretty situationally good here.
Zheart is hugely overrated IMO. Both the epic and soul well staff will save you far more mana. It's more of a convenience item that lets you go AFK with Lich on without dying for 20 minutes (assuming you rolled Iksar).
Agree with Eberron that the maple leaf mask is the worst. I just bought greater regeneration potions. 50K for a maple leaf mask is 500 charges. Usually I can get away with Bedlam and the potions work indoors. A Ring 10 would be ideal of course.
