Because this is an ancient poll. The talisman was created way after this poll was created.

I know, but with the recent posts, I was just wondering why no one has mentioned it. Still one of the GOAT necklaces. Maybe the devs will find a new and improved necklace in the future?

Ortholion's talisman doesn't even register on a 0-10 scale of usefulness. The stats are ok (just a worse Necklace of Feygard's Glory) but it comes too late to have an impact.

There's really only a couple of necklaces in the game and all serve their purpose. Iroguto/the Protector DR necklaces early game, and Marrowtaint when you get it. None of the other necklaces actually exist for powergamers.

I seriously think you might want to revisit those.

Several players swear by the Necklace of the undead. It wasn't intended to be a great item when it was created, but some players are clever. Get 2 levels of Regeneration, and then the necklace is a gravy train for HP.

it was essential for my build for a long period. now i use marrowtaint but when i need a hp refill, just put on necklace of the undead and that's it :D

i spent really few points on DMG as leveling up, instead boosted my AC and BC (of course you also need low attack cost to make it meaningful). when you don't miss and don't get hit, you just refill your hp.

still it's better not to get circled by high level mobs, especially with high crit or side conditions. and if you don't have high regeneration, you better unequip it when there are no mobs around. i have just one level or regeneration and did like so.

on the other hand, it may be useless for a high DMG, high attack cost build.
