Is displacement really that desirable in the endgame? I've never tried, so I don't feel qualified to comment on it, but I've never felt lacking for it either. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Raxvulpine (talk • contribs) 18 July 2006

I prefer a cloak of magic protection or a plain cloak of protection. I don't really desire for cloak of displacement as I usually try to get permanently invisible and I think it is enough. --ZeroOne 22:16, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

It's usually a matter of what you can get hold of. If you happen to have only found a cloak of displacement, the table lists your options. However, I believe displacement is underrated. It's a very useful effect, easily making up for it having only MC2, since you are hit less often in the first place (although I'm not sure how the actual probabilities work out). --Jayt 22:53, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Fair enough. Maybe I'll have to try that... I usually just go with the robe. --Raxvulpine

What about SDSM, CoDisplacement, AoLS and carrying The Eye? Looks better like first for me, because it has displacement and switching to Oilskin is far less dangerous like when wearing CoMR. --91.127.68.52 19:10, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Backstab damage

How is GDSM + cloak of displacement + amulet of life saving + shield of reflection especially suited for "Rogues who want backstab damage"? I just ascended a rogue so I should know but he didn't use a cloak of displacement, which, I guess, is the key to this mystery here. Do displaced characters make monsters flee? --ZeroOne 01:09, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
