Maybe leatherworking isn't totally worthless.

This is not a good item at all. First of it is used on multiple targets in a small radius around you. It takes 1 second to cast and it fears for 2 seconds. If you happen to be being attacked by multiple targets (which is why you would use this) you are going to spend more time casting this with spell interruption than how long your enemies would be feared. It might be worth it to just get out of distance while running like in WSG with your Flag carrier, but chances are you are wasting your time and should leave the fear bombs to priests and warlocks.
It may not be that great but it can help when horde/alliance jumps you when your doing something alone, and also its really helpful when u learn this to get ur last 5 points in lwing cause the mats are so easy to get.
seems to me like a great way to get those last 5 lvls of leatherworking out of the way. Is it like the drums of war where you get 30 charges? It all depends on its usefulness. Ill make these and use em like crazy if it means i can get to 375 without tons of incredibly mundane farming. That dagger you get with exhaulted is mighty nice too.
YES this is the best way to get the last points into leatherworking. Granted exalted with CoT takes sum work it is less than farming the mats needed to get to 375 normally. The mats for the drums are rediculously easy to get, and can be sold for decent profit to people to lazy to get exalted.
As for the drums themselves they are EXTREMELY useful for pvp. Yes it is a 1 second cast for a 2 second fear but they run pretty far and i can easily get off a 2.5 second heal or another chain lightning/shock before they can feasible attack me again. It also can be used when timed right to interupt casts or channels. Like AB flags?? Fun times with that :) This pretty much gives me a free kill on a warrior or rouge every couple minutes. Also all drums share the same cooldown. But do not share CD's with potions or trinkets. Drums have their own seperate one.
These make a nice fear for any class that doesn't have one, resto druids for one come to mind, and since it's only a 2 sec cast you don't risk mobs running too far and pulling more adds.
works great for anti-ganking action. For any leatherworker this will cost at most 5g to make if you have the leather for it. you can farm 4 primal shadow in death's door in about 20 minutes. This post is faded because it has a negative score.
Summary:
Key for getting last 5 LW points A "crowd control" item not a "save me" item. Very cheep to make. Can not be used in arena. Not BOP but as it says you need LW 350 to use*. Usefull if you don't have agro. Not usefull if you have agro. Use for free CC Example Use: Mech last boss. Free fear on the summoned adds. Use if your not the tank. Good for rogues. *So you with the faction can make it and give it to you your LW friends with LW 350 who don't have the faction.
I have a question about these drums;
Does pushback effect these drums or is it just a 1 second cast no matter what hits you during the cast?
Review from use
The drum does need a 1 second cast time and aoe fears hostiles within 5 yards of you for 2 seconds. You however need to literally be standing on top of them for it to work and sadly for some reason players have a very high resist against this drum in pvp battlegrounds but it does work in pve settings on normal non-elite mobs. It's not worth the mind numbing Keepers of Time grind just for the drum if you already have some form of crowd control. If you have no CC (i.e. Shamans) or you are a leatherworker having difficulty with those last few levels (and want to get them done cheaply) then maybe it might be worth it for you. Howl of terror this is not, psycic scream this is not but for such cheap mats and ample uses I don't think anyone can really comnplain about thier value for money. Lastly I would advise leatherworkers that want it to use to find someone else that makes them and try them out (you can use as a lw). If you really like them then continue the Keepers grind, if theres another item at exalted that you also want then you might as well grind the rep anyway.

Ok, i listen to everyone telling that this item does not worth.As someone said, this is a CC item, not a use-at-last-time-to-be-saved.Also,this is best way to lvl up leatherworking. i was stuck at 370 for some weeks and i was working KoT rep which believe me is hard to make exalted. it's about 1k-1,1k rep per run.Clefthoof sells 100g per stack and boots/chest are not likely to give point at 370.most boots don't even sell on my server.clefthoof drop rate suckz so yeah, this item worths like hell,for me at least.i spent 1 day farming primal shadow and ding375 :)
GL with ur runs ;)
like someone has already said, this is not a DEFENSIVE item.
so think about for a second it being an offensive one (for a rogue this is) pvp, there are a few people waiting around in wsg flag room... stealth up and in the middle of them, bam! aoe deathcoil! i can think of heaps of uses like this (mostly pvp based) would be heaps fun :D
Despite the CC side of it, could be useful for breaking the spell-casting of target(s) if you've no other alternative disabling skill. The fear only lasts 2 secs, so in PvE, it wouldn't necessarily end up with other mobs gettin involved.
"Unearthly rhythms cause 5 enemies within 8 yds to flee in terror for 2 sec. "
Dunno why, but i get the impression that they are describing various second-rate american metal bands here.
This would be great if you could use it in arena, since most classes don't have a fear ability, this would give them one. But alas.
Cheap, now when it only requires honored (easy gained through quests in CoT to hilldbrad and dark portal), and gives an easy way to get those five last skill points. Fel hides drop even from hellfire peninsula, so you know... It's cheap. Bought 20 pieces for 15g and grinded up the three last points. Easy peasy.
ye....obviously stuff must have changed with this item from a year ago from the looks of all those comments above *points*, only honored to get the recipe, and only REQ for the item is the LW skill, no rep.
I haven't used it yet, but im pretty sure you dont have to be standing on top of someone for it to get em @_@ Ive used a warlock and a shadow priest, the radius isnt large. Also, resist-wise: In BGs, players arent getting priest buffs EVERYTIME they spawn. Beginning of the match is the only time. I rarely have a priest cast anything besides fortitude on me when we have downtime after taking a node in AB. regardless, it's cheap to make, easy to get the recipe, 0.5 sec cast, AoE fear, great for gettin flagcappers off, and for gettin a rogue and neone else near you off you. TONS of uses for it. I give it 5 stars.
These are sweet I use them often in PVE and PVP because its only a 3sec fear you can use it without worrying if it will pull additional mobs in most 5 mans also I'm a hunter so anything that can give me even 1 sec more without getting hit while i wait for my FD cool down is a good thing I like to use it in PVP aswell cause it seems to be resisted less than my fear beast I have become a very good Druid killer so if you are a LW i strongly recamend these drums
Any class that cant fear,especailly the ones who need leatherworking ei rouges,hunters,shamans, and druids, would be good to have these. I agree, it does confuse alot of people when you fear them without being a preist,warrior, or lock.
