The usefulness of the items varies vastly from playthrough to playthrough. I just don't find the class to be consistent enough to take the risk of picking it.

I only find the Lifegems, the Pharros Lockstone and the Aromatic Ooze to be worth the trade off as they are the only ones I'm likely to use. Also, minor plus is the 5 extra chances to get the Whip, Trident and/or the Greathammer, odds are still against you since it's Prism Stones though.
