Maybe it's just me but I don't think this should go more then 200 plat there are far better and cheaper face items and don't have lvl requirements. If you pay that much for them you must be on drugs.
This item has a recommended level of 51, I own one and wear it proud. I always liked the look of the grotesque alloy mask, so this is the one for me. While being not quite as good as the Death mask of the Elysians, I have a feeling it wont be sellin for 12k like the mask is either...
Very melee mask in terms of AC and the hp is a welcome benefit. Similar in stats to the Death Mask of the Elysians but it doesn't have any of the caster-specific stats (int, wis, cha, mana). I don't mean that this item is melee only, but that a melee will probably be the first choice for this item.
Actually I've heard and been told that most things out of the new CT aren't usable until 50+ at least...so this isn't really twink gear if this is the case, but who knows..
