Another redundant/meaningless SK question

[Danth]

Cloak of Confusion looks like a side-grade from Heiro cloak--more health for less mana. I'd call them roughly equivalent in overall quality depending on which stat you want more of. The resists on the Confusion cloak are nice if you're doing a lot of stuff where resists matter.

If I had to pick between a Narandi Crown and a Breastplate of the Vindicator, all I can say is I wish I had more mana regeneration more often than I wish I had more health regeneration and if you want health regen you probably have a fungus tunic bagged. Otherwise they're both nice items.

Ring 9 is kind of luck-based due to the Ring 8 roll-off. It's a nice item and you're not likely going to find a better ring. On the other hand "worth" is a question of opinion and it isn't going to make you able to do any content you can't do without it.

In general I advise folks to try to gear themselves for the content they're doing or want to do, and with their usual additional players in mind.
