The new 'improved' stranglers

Kolzki✭✭✭✭✭I'm just not sure where you're supposed to use an item that caps out at 50 stacks and is removed on zoning/death.
Even most dungeons, 50 killing blows is iffy, trials is a no.
Farming public dungeons? I dont see why you'd drop a monster or 5piece set bonus for that. At least the current versions ramp up on a couple trash packs.
That’s a good point about the cap. The dev notes say that “stemmed from the fact it offered so much damage, that even if their character did die, they'd rather try again than not try at all”, but that’s not the full story. We don’t drop stacks willingly on live because the stacks take a long time to build within groups.
We live with “the sense of looming dread” because the cost of losing stacks is too great. With the new version we would be crazy to ever drop stacks by choice.1
