Coolest hat ever! Got mine on 7/1/06 in dynam Sandy.
I only carry this and ToA Turban now for brd, crown went into storage and errant hat sold on AH.
Macro'd in for finale and elegy, yay for (hopefully) less resists(resists? what are those?)!
And as for the neck piece argument going on here; wind torque > star torque if you need to do end-game gods or whatever, dynam I'd say too.
Star neck is like your bard badge, you wear it, you love it, you put it in storage with your AF1 and opo crown.
