Shai`din Revenant Bauble  

 

Is there something I'm missing that would make this less valuable than the spell? From what I'm seeing, the effect on this item has a cast time of 1.5 seconds, whereas the actual spell is 6.0. This item costs no mana, whereas the spell costs 100. You can use this item 6 levels before the spell. Throw in the stats bonuses, and I would gladly pay the extra money for this item, and leave the spell on the vendor.

Please let me know if I'm missing something here....

Went on a crappy raid to Chardok and got this, some necro got it, seems like an ok item. The named was easy 1 group take out

I saw this in the Bazaar for 1K. I already maxed out my INT, and was well over the hard cap. So I figure I can swipe a quick 35mana and up my hitpoints by 35 at the same time.

I hunt in the Grey often. The bobbing corpse in 1.5 seconds sounded great. I could right click the whole party in just 10 seconds. Well oops, the affect is *self-only*.

This really made the utility of the item drop IMO. I can DMF myself, and it lasts longer and is better. Its not like I need to switch spell gems every 20 minutes, DMF lasts like an hour. For a SK in the 49 to 54 range, the piece has merit, but for 55+ SKs and DMF capable necromancers, don't bother unless you need a cheap way to up mana/hitpoints when capped out. Also useful as a junk buff filler.

Verant makes some wierd decisions, imagine the value of this earring if it was targetable or usable by say a warrior.

this things pretty sweet, works at lv 49 from what i hear, bobbing corpse is a 55 sk spell.

I got mine at 52 and it worked right off the bat.

I refered a good friend of mine to pick one up, and she did. She said it didn't work for her until she hit 49.

Hope that helps =)

(Also, phat earring... Helps tremendously on dispelling mobs... Naggy never touched one other buff save for this since the 1.5 casting time was done inbetween swings, and he'd just dispell that, so Aego/SoS were never even close to being touched... All my crap buffs were up too =P)

What lvl can you use it?

I wear this earring, and oddly enough it is necromancer only.

It's funny though, I have sold a few of the druid/ranger earrings (earring of woven bark) and it has the same stats, only differs with the effect of snare, and that one is druid/ranger equippable.

Why the bauble weighs 3 pounds when the other earrings weigh much less is beyond me. It's a decent earring if you don't need the pr or the see invis effect of dmf. (thats what fingerbone hoops are for) Click EB comes in handy when you die in the grey and need to get ressed. :)

Whoops, so it is a necro only, eh? In my original post, I was talking about how SK's may not use this much. Well, its been confirmed...they won't be using it at all.
This is nice for necros.

What does this effect do? and who drops it?
