The Mark has much better resists, the Dread's Revenge is useful for PvM spawning and PvP at choke points, Dread's Flute sounds cool, and replenishes, which is enough for me ;P, Vet clothing shouldn't be any more than +3, they've been like that forever, and what else are you going to use for a robe? but the quiver of infinity usually trumps the cloak, the cathat reg statues, well, i have maybe 20-30 (they shouldn't have been that hard to obtain? ;/), and I never use them, but I still don't think they are underrated, because you are getting something for nothing every day, green thorns, the 9 day wait shouldnt up the spawn if you can buy a thorn from any player at any time and reap the rewards ;p, crystalline ring is completely uber, and reverses wand and other mage weps...requires orny and inquis though, so people who use it are very, very rich...and perhaps a slim majority (+20 focus for an elf gives +2 stam regen and +1 mr)

helm of insight was useful until the rune beetle carapace and other modern items made it obsolete.

orny is annoying because no DCI or SDI, but it is so useful for the mods it does have .
