So, I finally TRed my 1st toon (shortly after capping my 2nd toon- yes, after 1.5 years of playing; I'm the epitome of a casual player), and, as one would expect at lvl 4, I run WW elite for BB, etc.. What wasn't expected was the PLIS I got in the end reward list
.
My question is, just how valuable is this to a toon (I know it can be
very valuable to ****)? I've never run nor flagged for Abbot, only run VoN 5/6 twice across all my toons- the only places (besides ToD) that I can see it being valuable. Should I **** or unsupress?
Side note: I don't even own The Dreaming Dark pack atm, though have plenty of TP to get it, should I choose to...
I got my first (and only) PLIS drop out of the trog's chest in WW pt3, normal. It was my monk's first quest (well, third) off the vet boat, and I deleted him shortly after (making sure to place the ioun stone in my chared bank first, ofc
)
They generally sell for ~2mil plat, or 3-4 reds. However, I would NEVER **** one of these. They are way to hard to find a ****er for, so it'll be a while before you even have a chance to buy one back (and don't even think of pulling a second). That stone means nigh-invulnerability at low levels (note that it blocks ALL of a beholders abilities, including the Dispel portion of the antimagic cone - meaning you keep your buffs, but can't cast), and at higher levels lets you do fun things like:
Ignore the need for ToD boots - only takes off 1-2 charges each Banish attempt, depending on whether or not you saved. Also means no stun portion!
Ignore the need to dodge Abbot's inferno - less of a concern, but I hope they re-re-re-re-re-visit this raid to tone it down. Or fix the lag enough that it doesn't play any factor. Also blocks things like encasement, but that's less of a bonus compared to inferno.
Ignore Velah's breath on an Evasion toon - it blocks the huge reflex penalty, so if you can save and take no damage you can do whatever you want. IIRC, though, it takes up enough charges per breath it isn't going to last the whole raid.
eChrono CAD. Need more be said?
Edited: Sorry for blanking out your word, but the number of "sell"s (****) in this post apparently got me flagged as a spammer. I have 2 more offenses before I'm auto-banned
