Sometimes when the doctor can't see you, it's best to see the nurse.

ICU nurse irl...pretty cool not even going to get into the whole 8 nurses equals 1 Doctor connotation other than to say I have seen that to be true and I've seen the reverse to be true.

Amazing idea! The most sought after item is being made as accessible as possible for everyone so it loses any value of it being a luxury. It's almost as if items that are common aren't rare!

Previously Headhunter was something that people could hunt for "pride and accomplishment" but now it's just another item.

HH used to be something 120 EX and often on par early league with Mirrors. Now next League you'll prolly see prices as low as 30-40 EX because now on top of having a new Headhunter card introduced every league, you also have Incursion and Bestiary as core.

I really don't understand the logic here:

> HH is a league goal for MANY players
> GGG wants to improve retention
> GGG makes HH a lot less rare
> Que?

It's not some omg wow it makes me play for so much longer item. It's just to whip your shlong out for others.

Hey guys - we ready for the Medical Assistant card? 8 Cards will give 1 The Nurse card!! Coming next league!

It's like they made it just for the lulz. The card is completely unnecessary but I appreciate the humor.

Wow, jumping the gun with Hyperbole much? As long as Nurse does not drop in the same locations as Doctor (So you can't farm both at the same time), and is no more then 8 times more common a drop then Doctor, it won't increase the accessability of HH at all, it would just make an alternate method of farming it that has less Spike-RNG. In the past, GGG has shown a pattern that when there are 2 different ways to reach the same goal, the one with the higher RNG variability has the statistically higher chance - for example, 6 linking with fuses is statistically superior to 6 linking with Vorici.

You'd be surprised how many Headhunters exist in this game purely out of sheer luck somebody without knowledge getting the item / div card. I also managed to get to be a part of it this league with https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/The_Undaunted. I only bought the last one when I noticed that I almost have a stack cause why the fuck not l0l. I also got a "Fiend" card when I was just doing Atlas on Shrine.

Not to mention that there are now SIX divination cards that provide a Headhunter, 3 of them being strictly for Headhunter now. In Delve there wasn't a "Headhunter" room and Headhunter was 65 something EX. Doesn't take a genius to understand where this trend is moving.

Oh and if they make it super rare, people will be even angrier that they added such a bait / travesty in the game.

Tbh there's much more valuable chase items in the game now than HH. And if you insist on HH being a goal, you can aim for a shaper or elder one, or a corrupted one with crit multi. In Delve we had foil HHs which were anywhere between 90-100 ex (currently 114 ex). So I think it's fine if regular HHs are affordable. It can be intermediate goal for more casual players while us true autists can aim for the frivolously expensive "shiny" ones.

Oh, I'm sure a lot of HHs exist out of pure luck. I'm diffinately part of it, I just happened to get a HH this league from a Wretched Div Card set. But Nurse has nothing to do with that. I group it only with Doctor and Fiend. Nemesis/Wretched/Undaunted/Timelost Relic is more like Chancing or Ancient Orbing a HH, getting it from a Delve box or Shaper Stronghold, or Reliquary key. There is Deterministic HHs that people farm, and RNG HHs that just happen when RNG strikes. Unless GGG makes nurse a global drop that can't be target farmed, Nurse will do very little to add to the pool of 'RNG HHs' entering the economy.

More likely the vast majority of Nurse cards entering the economy will be from people target farming it, and almost certainly every map ran to target farm nurses will be one less map target farmed for Doctors. So ujnless GGG does something wonky and unexpected with Nurse, it won't really add to the RNG or the Deterministic HH pool by any real extent; and should have fairly little impact on the total number of HHs entering the league.

Clan members going to make a 8/8 nurse card -.-
