Slayers and Lenses of Predator's Gaze


Rules Questions

Grand Lodge

So, I've a slayer and a few people have said that i aught to get Lenses of the Predator's Gaze and honestly, i'm not seeing how they benefit a Slayer, or an archetype with Studied Target.

Quote:
If the wearer has the studied target class feature, he can instead use the magic of these lenses [of Predator's Gaze] as a free action when designating the subject of his studied target to increase his effective slayer level by 5 for the purposes of the studied target class feature.

The Lenses' +5 Levels only lasts 10 rounds, and that only equates to a +1 attack and damage increase over all [and the other bonuses, though moot in most cases].

Am i missing something in regards to the effective power of this item? it is an 8,ooo gold item- and that's a hefty price for a modest +1 Att/Dmg bonus.
someone enlighten me, please.


It's a stacking free action damage (eh) and attack (woohoo!) boost that you can decide when to use, for a very small amount of WBL. By the later stages of the game where another +1 to attack can be a lot more costly than 80,000+, it's decent.

When you can first afford it? Not really a great buy.

This is a PFS characters, so the Guild guide says 8ooo G purchases require atleast 22 Prestige- that's 6th lvl.

The way i'm reading it, and i'm a 6th lvl Slayer [with 1 dip into Enigma Mesmerist], i can have two Studied Targets- would this benefit be applied to both of them, if i'm able to attack them both?


They would be great if it weren't tied to a 10 rounds per day thing... but since its limited to only 10 rounds I wouldn't deem them worth the gold.
