My intent was to take it to where I could use the 49 pet and Splurt, use it as a farming character, and just enjoy it casually. For my purposes, getting a CoS along the way wasn't a consideration (although I probably should have as I had plenty of time before the nerf hit as an investment).

If my previous post downplayed the importance of the item, that wasn't my intention. Anyone playing a Necromancer that will ever even remotely consider splitting mobs on a pull using Feign Death, either for solo or for group use, would always in every case be better off having a CoS. It honestly does add a (small) extra dimension to the class, and anyone playing a Monk would KILL to have access to it. If you were in EC right now and patiently waited until two or three sellers of the pre nerf were advertising against each other during prime time, you could probably score one for a 7-8k offer "all plat, right now". If you play the character more than casually, you'd be an idiot not to.

unless you are slumming in a very low level zone, you cant use it for pulling because of the hate list wipe chance. Good god, quit saying this crap people. It's like you copy and pasted people sposts from 13 years ago before the hate wipe nerf on FD. Beginning to wonder if 90% of the people posting in this thread ever even played a necro over level 30. Sound like a bunch of noobs, necro or otherwise.

CoS is amazing. Would pay 50k if I had to. Would not pay 50k for beads.

50k to save you from a couple seconds of cast time and pittance of mana while taking up your second best gear slot?

I guess you'd pay 50k for a teleport, then, ya?

I'm not sure if knowing what you are talking about and not being a moron qualify as "trying hard". It would certainly explain some things about your posts, however.

50k for an extra spell slot is dirt cheap.

The invis effect wipes your agro...I FD and pop up spamming CoS all the time, without it you are at a serious disadvantage. Not sure why you bring up other invis items when talking about CoS, doesnt take away from the fact that CoS still does the job and adds more utility than invis vs animal...Ring costs 3k? CoS cost 6k? Well worth the extra $$$

If you are seriously arguing that CoS merely "saves you a couple of seconds" then you have clearly never used one and have no idea what your talking about. When you break invis to recast invis and get agro, your f#cked. CoS eliminated this problem entirely and adds a agro wipe to FD

Why get a Zlandicar Heart? All it does is add a regen that is easily cast by multiple classes..

I will agree that Elder Beads are a waste on necro because you cant cast while pet us up - stalking probes much cheaper/better

CoS and Jboots are the 2 "must have" necro items IMO. Everything else is just a plus...Z heart is pretty wicked though

Source: Level 57 necro with Zlandicar Heart, Elder Beads, and CoS

Before one of you idiots says CoS invis doesn't wipe your agro - go test it and get back to me - because I have and it does.

EDIT: Think Monk and Sneak and you get the idea that goes on here with Necro

Eye is good for reducing downtime, med up faster. When you're charm soloing often times you don't have a pet while you're recovering after a tough situation.

But I totally agree, CoS >>> Beads usefulness wise.
