Eye of Lathandar

My CW got this stupid artifact in a Dread Ring daily run. Too bad it is bound to character and I want it to go to my DC. Is there a way? If not, is it remotely useful for a CW or should I just use it to level another artifact of union?

    Why would you want that for a DC?

    And yeah, it can pretty nifty for it's ability. CWs usually stay in the back of a fight so it's easy to observe everyone and see who went down.

    Well, it resurrects an ally or a pet from far away and restores some hp to him. Isn't it the role of a DC? Supposedly a DC should have some resurrection skill like what the Eye gives but apparently not the DC in this game. The Eye doesn't give power or critical to my CW. It gives control bonus which I already have more than enough. I think I am going to get the GWF class artifact and then then Dragon Heart if the price of the Dragonborn pack goes down a bit to go along with the CW class artifact. That's why I think I have no artifact slot left for the Eye.

    Proly just stick with the DC artifact. Will be more vital now with Hallowed Ground up preventing you from generating APs.

    The Eye of Lathander is extremely useful. No, it doesn't help your DPS much. But it can really help if you're in a group that is having trouble staying alive. One of the huge advantages it gives is that it can resurrect people with much more health (50% of their max HP at Epic, 65% at Legendary) than when you do it manually. So people are much less likely to die right after being resurrected. A second advantage is that you can resurrect people from a pretty good distance. Also there is no chance of being interrupted while resurrecting. I almost always equip it during VT in case one of my party members just can't seem to dodge the lightning or is too far away for me to reach them in time. I can revive them from afar without putting myself or them in danger of getting swarmed by ghosts. Also very useful in CN when people get caught by hands or breath and you can't take the time to run over to them. This is definitely one of those items that is more practically useful than it is flashy or impressive. If you're in an awesome group that just burns through everything switch to DC artifact and burn away. But it definitely has its uses.

    I always slot Eye when I am pugging Epic Tuern. Inevitably someone dies in final boss fight and I can resurrect them without being in danger myself.

    No, it takes a long long time to get it. It's just a really low drop rate.

    Yeah I had that drop for me last week on my CW - since I only had one artifact at the time it was an insta-equip. I was completely stunned when I saw "Special Reward". Oh you mean I got 2 Peri...EYE OF LATHANDER WTF?!?!

    Nope - five toons, no Eye for me (well over 500 runs each in DR)
    I aim to misbehave

    There's an artifact for doing those daily dungeons?! Not just 2 peridots?! /sarcasm off

    I don't know about the rest of you folks, but when I'm in a group, I'm NEVER in the back of the group. I'm ALWAYs right in the thick of things. I'll pick people up if they drop, but only after being able to drop down a CC with a decent hold time. Most times I have mobs chasing my butt so stopping to pick someone up off the group is a bit deadly for me.

    Well I'd like to be in the middle of the group.

    But most of the time, everyone else is running ahead, leaving behind all of the loot.

    Since I have Fey Blessings and Dragon Hoard enchants, I want to make sure I am not leaving behind valuable RP. But everyone runs at such a fast pace that if I stop and check, I am left behind.

    Maybe I should just take off my Feys/Dragon Hoards when I do a dungeon and just run at breakneck speed.

    I crit with the Eye during double refinement weekend for about 5.9 million to take my artifact to legendary, I think I went about 3.4 million over in fact.

    Most of my characters that had an Eye lying around managed to take a DC artifact up to the point of just needing the marks to go legendary, due to double refinement.

    Not to pooh-pooh the active bonus on the Eye or anything.

    The active is pretty cool, but the stats on it are pretty blah.

    Once you can get it, DC sigil is just a better active in most situations, and there are many other with better stats.

    Pretty underwhelming IMO.
