Instant charm break is nice to have and it helps a little but absolutely not necessary especially if it comes with a hefty price tag. Wouldn't have traded my GGR while leveling but at 60 I tossed it for the RoST, which I pretty much never leave home without.

I don't play necro but if I recall correctly the main draw of pre-nerf CoS is basically standing up invis from FD. Most people I saw talking about it said it is nice to have but isn't really worth the price tag either.

I am also going to switch to Ring of Stealthy Travel for charm breaks on my Ench when she can use it. GGR is nice while leveling since it has a lower level requirement. Post nerf CoS is clickable at 20 I think, so it's still great for leveling if you don't want to spend 5k on GGR. And the invis is more useful since it's regular invis.

Yeah Pre-Nerf CoF is great for other things besides charm break. I have one on my SK. That is why I still recommended getting one in my previous post. Instant Invis after FD is nice for sure. Being able to re-invis while running if it drops is fun too. It isn't a requirement though. You can always carry around a few Ring of Shadows for instant invis after FD if you want to be cheap.

The main draw is instant charm break, really. Mobs 35+ won't mem blur instantly when you FD, and most higher level dungeons have mobs that see invis anyway.

But when you have 2-3 mobs rooted, and your pet is tanking one - then one breaks root and you get interrupted and have to manage re-rooting to get things under control.. and then you notice your pet is 1 hit away from dying so you can just click your CoS to save your torch / exp / Tola robe.

At least that's what I've found most useful in my hundreds of hours playing Necro on p99 Green.

Yeah the biggest benefit to the Ring over a GGR is that you don't have to target yourself to cast it -- works well when you have to Nuke your old pet, or Mez, or Root and you don't have to switch targets before casting the offensive spell.

I agree. I don't like having to self target with GGR. When you take the time to retarget into account, Ring of Stealthy Travel isn't much slower than GGR anyway. Plus you can use Ring for normal invis, so you don't need to mem it anymore.

I'm so drilled to grr that a year later I still self target for invis even if I don't have to.

Not having to self target is better but shows you how much of a non-issue it was, at least for me.
