Pre-nerf CoS vs GGR

[xaxis]

So in a random turn of events with incalculable odds, I looted a Goblin Gazhugi Ring (ikr, WUT!?!? Super excited). So my question is, why is pre-nerf CoS so game changing for necros? If its mainly for charming like chanters would a post-nerf CoS and GGR be equally effective?

Its super nice when you are FD'd in a bees nest worth of mobs. let them reset, stand and instant invis before they agro.

In regards to breaking charm then post nerf CoS seems terrible. Instant cast is what it’s all about when charm soloing. You’re going to lose much efficiency breaking charm too early or too late with a 5 sec cast time.

Yeah, thats what I figured. I probably wouldn't even try it but thought that is where the GGR would come in.

^That

- FDed in the middle of non-see-invis mobs, stand up, insta invis (once they dropped aggro of course)

- Invis fading in a bad moment when runing through kos mobs who don't see invis, just click on CoS and it doesn't fade

for charm killing they are the same.

you don't have to wear the cap. you also don't have to click a target for it. invis is also probably much better as a utlity spell than ivanimals.

For charm breaking they are not the same. CoS is better for breaking charm because you don't have to switch target (to yourself) like you do with GGR. Allows you to eliminate a couple of keystrokes from charm break. Doesn't always matter, but there are definitely times when you're pushing charming to the max when a half-second seems really valuable.

did you read my post? or just the first line?

You mean the post where you said they are the same and then describe the differences? Yep I read it. I guess I felt some clarification was necessary.
