Holgresh Elder Beads 75k+ ???

[captnamazing]

knowledge of an impending nerf makes them valuable

you can also proc things on player corpses, eyes don't leave corpses here, and i guess the proc on the eye itself thing doesn't work on red since you'll be in pvp range and kill it instantly

the only time i feel a need to use an eye of zomm to pull is for shit in ToV, which no other class should be doing really

it's useful no doubt, but it shouldn't be considered an ultra-valuable gamebreaking item for anything other than monks, necros, SKs

Mm cool thought to use for hammer procs outta dangerous locs.

I've been wondering if I could use it to pull on my halfling warrior utilizing sneak. However my guess is that even if Filbus lands a successful sneak once eye of zomm is active, the eye does not count as having sneak. SO i'll just keep mine safely stored in my anus.

Way to keep it nice and safe

Another use is that you can stand against a wall and summon the eye. This will warp the eye somewhere randomly in a zone which is super helpful for non-tracking classes checking mobs deep in DN, ToV, SS, ST, etc.

As with all things, Elder beads are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them. If you stop offering 50, 60, 70k and start offering 5-10k, sellers will be forced to sell at that price point or not sell at all.

If sellers feel that 5k isn't worth sitting on a list for 10 days straight before their turn to loot comes around, they'll stop and the camp will open up for people to farm it normally.

Necros could life steal from the eyes on live.

They can do the same here I think - at least I can tap other people's eye of zomm on a red server. Eye of zomm is considered a pet and you can only have 1 pet up at a time, so if you have a high level spec pet already or a charmed pet, you can't really use the eye. Novelty for a necro, necessity for a monk or SK puller, especially when death touches are involved.

Seen plenty bought and sold at 40k plat range.

The casting time is what makes this item a novelty item IMO, it quickly becomes more of a hassle than its worth - much more efficient to just pull normally. It is a niche item with limited usefulness.

The *only* thing I can see this item being useful for, and don't get me wrong its a very useful thing, is for a monk to split pull a room of casters. LoS yourself, eye, then FD before they come around the corner, sneak tag. This can be done w/o the eye pretty easily, but this makes it a piece of cake. So definitely useful in small group situations without a enchanter. ToV is another example of a good place to use the eye since the mobs hit so hard and there can be long pulls, but even then we usually use a team of monks.

I bought a Singing Steel Helmet for 500pp on my Bard...that's about what I think of Elder Beads should be worth.

The cast time is what kills the beads, its like 10s cast, and lasts for like 20s - situationally useful at best, and only for monks IMO.
