Which class is best served by the AoN?

[Brut]

Everyone who isn't ogre.

Vanity clicky, hundreds out on server by now so isn't gonna impress anyone who's made it past lvl10.

These are only effective for pvp and they should go to clerics & casters before anyone else. On blue just have the raid roll for it or sell it for guild bank funds. No one needs a 300k junk buff.

Shadowknights need this for RP purposes.

I believe that Shadow Knights get a spell in Velious that transforms you into a Skeleton for 20 minutes.

Nope. It is more of a "thank you for your service" vanity item. Unless you PVP.

Which class(es) would that be and why?

If you want to have preferences, consider large races over other races and leave out necromancers/enchanters since they can already skeleton illusion.

Any INT casters presently using this full time or situationally? If so, what item(s) would replace it - in Kunark or Velious?

I don't know of any INT casters that wear it main, the negative 100 hp is pretty big. The 13 INT isn't huge when you get to the level of acquiring AoN. I guess they could throw it for MR over Wolf's Eye Platinum Necklace (+9MR), but if you are facing AEs that deal damage probably don't want to set yourself back on HP.

Having a friendly debate, and I'd like to get some opinions...

Thanks for your serious considerations and input.

AoN is great for DKP guilds because you can price it high because of demand.. it Will go for whatever you set it at.

Loot Council is a waste of everyone's time once you have more than, say, ~20 guildies (pulled out of my rear). Too much arbitration and pixel lust will cause membership to hemorrhage. Especially for in demand vanity items. Edit: If I'm answering your question though I say Troll/Ogre Shaman for shrink/giggling canni dance fun.

I will seed the discussion a bit more...

Well, just above this post Ele gave you a list of "Velious Items" but all of them are ToV drops/quests, which most people aren't very likely to see.. Realistically you're going to be using Black Sapphire Velium Necklace, WW Dragon talisman or good ol' reliable Necklace of Superiority.

Wow. Cooperation without coercion is not your strong suit, is it. This is why we need to arm our police, people. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If people can make it work, kudos. Put up with the whining/collusion on Live and I wouldn't want to do LC again. Switching from pure LC to DKP+Limited LC rulings (gear up tanks before bards) was the best thing we ever did.

Also thank you for the rhetoric, I needed a chuckle this morning.
