According to our market analysis department, a charity event like this could have a negative impact on Prenerfed CoS sales over the next two fiscal years. Also, with the new server being launched soon, these prices will inevitably decrease in the time being.

Haha, you nerds. Damn this thread makes me feel good!

Prenerfed CoS are abundant
DBG won't allow a new p99 server
Set treadmill to walk and work on your type 2 status.

You can't play p99, have a p99 avatar, and call other people nerds as if it's some sort of insult lol. Glad you're feeling good though.

I can say from personal experience that this item is as essential for a necromancer as many spells. If I think about all the times leveling from 40+ (after I bought CoS)...I've utilized my CoS more often than I use fear, probably. It is used for every part of the efficient charm process, it's used for travel, it's used right after FD, enables numerous strategies, etc.

Honestly, if I met a necromancer above 50 who did not have a pre-nerf CoS and never used one, I would assume they are not knowledgeable of the class, and are not even close to their full potential. I understand some necromancers not having it due to it being a first toon and needing to save plat, but that's the only excuse I would accept. After level 50ish, it's pretty much inexcusable to not have and use a CoS. It's like not having screaming terror, or DMF. I would never, ever, get rid of my CoS.

I'm not looking for arguments or insults or fights but I'll ask again... Why is a COS so terrific for a Necromancer?

I have a level 53 Necromancer which I have soloed about 95% of the time and I have never come across a time when I needed a COS that bad... Sure, I have used FD before but it was never anything where I was totally stuck and couldn't get out of the situation.

I'm just looking on really being sold on the idea to spend the 10K instead of just being told that I have to have one cause I'm a Necro...

Invising while running and insta invis if fading. Popping out of fd and invising without agro. You can't do that with your spell. It's actually painful for me to even think about that. Breaking charm is another good use. You can get away with not having one for sure, but you're gimping a necros capabilities. And necro at full potential really stands out.

Put your money (I mean COS) where your mouth is, and do an event to help a newbie out, or simply give it away since you so keen on a newb getting one for cheap. Offering "hope" is a sweet gesture but let's be honest, it doesn't help anyone or anything.

Also, lol at Filbus creating a post to manipulate the market on his hoarded Circlet of Shadows. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If people want help getting started on a particular server they know where to come...this is nothing new.

If you are running through a dangerous area and your invis starts to fade you can refresh your invis without it ever breaking. Or if you are training mobs somewhere you can re-invs on the run so you don't get smashed by mobs ahead of you. You can do the same thing with a ring of shadow but it only has 3 charges. Main instances that come to find are plane of sky and VP.

If you charm undead you can break your charm instantly they don't care that it's not invisibility vs undead. Even invisibility vs animals works for this.

You can also use it in conjunction with feign death. FD, pop up and quickly invis without gaining agro.

we need market value driven fixed asset taxes on p99 to correct that sorta behavior.

pretty sure Juntsie would not approve of such a tax

maybe a long term capital gains tax

99% of the people are on Blue, so I assume you mean you will help out those on Blue, right?

Just so I can find you here, do you play "Swish" on Blue mostly, or are you on another alt? I know some lowbie necro/sks that could really use a COS.

Good looking out man, always nice to see someone willing to walk the talk not just talk the talk.

P.S. I LOVE the cat gif you running atm, I had to look those cats up on Youtube. Hilarious clip - really!

You've no idea what the Avatar stands for, which means you're just another EC tunnel bug, exacerbating your diabetic status while waiting for your big chance to make plat on prenerfed CoS sales,..lol

Your electronic image you dunce. And last a1c was like 5.

I can understand the whole running and staying invisible or breaking charm. Speaking of which, I don't think I have ever seen a Necro use charm on a live mob or an undead mob. But I do solo a lot so maybe they do it in groups?

Feign Death has never been a problem for me. Maybe it's because I have the mob fight with my pet while I'm casting Darkness then Fear. So if I do need to cast FD then the mob is more busy with my pet than thinking about me...
