I've used Goblin Ring, and I disagree.

This video shows me getting 100% XP on both mobs while also saving nuke mana.

The problem is you don't actually know when Goblin Ring helped you. You are assuming it did.

Ring of Stealthy Travel has more tangible benefits.

I'm really confused what the video was supposed to disprove but I have some notes after watching it:

1. use root instead of enstill

2. you only had to calm one of them, and should try soothe to save mana

3. they are bad charm targets in general because they cast DoTs that mess with charm break timing, and the direct damage spells (including their DoT initial hits) make you spend more mana on reapplying root

the video shows you almost losing experience because of the DoT your pet placed on them and the slow invis (0% hp left), and only being able to kill your pet with choke due to it also having an oracle DoT on it

I don't think anyone in the thread has ever asserted you can't be mana efficient without a goblin ring, but that it allows you to consistently be. it's only logical that more control gives more precision
