Would make a fun ( as in wacky) build, but that is it. :P second that. Abyssus is just insane for a Pillar Of The Caged God build. nothing comes remotely close in raw power. though I am using an Astramentis and more stat-gear, for my Static Strike's AoE and speed. this helm is... I don't know. maybe an Iron Will caster? just a crazy thought. Alva: I'm sweating like a hog in heat Shadow: That was fun	Posted by johnKeys#6083 on Feb 3, 2015, 2:21:55 PM Quote this Post
well this helmet is just perfect for my RF-EK build, i got 1020 str atm and this beauty will give me 150 str, 75 life and more dps i cant wait to get one :P	Posted by haaiik#4567 on Feb 4, 2015, 3:05:56 PM Quote this Post
Was I wrong to assume this would be a somewhat common drop and a 4-5 chaos sell? Atm, it seems quite rare and the price is currently high. I'm not digging these 2-part uniques >.<, it's creating a new layer of speculation on top of the "will this go legacy?" there is now, "how good will this unique's other half be?" Also looking at the stats it seems like a nightmare to find an actual good one in the first place even if the price does drop pfft	Posted by BearCares#6660 on Feb 6, 2015, 1:35:33 AM Quote this Post
Seems this helm would be the most interesting for high AoE pillar builds or Iron Will Doon builds. Honorable mention goes to strength pillar builds (especially in HC). It might also make it worth to have a larger investment into dexterity than is otherwise typical. Could also be of use to builds struggling to get enough attributes with a good power boost thanks to the +1 to gems. This one depends somewhat on the price it will end up with though.

this new unique looks like some monster infrequent of titan quest, however here in poe stats arent that importent other than maybe for strenght based casters but even for them mere 15% wont chnge much and a high life and dual resistances helmet is better, at least i think that my worthless zero cents	Posted by vangrandson#0101 on Feb 7, 2015, 12:17:45 PM Quote this Post

I remember seeing Pyre go for 3-4 exalteds the first few days (and let's not even talk about Dyadus and Oro's Sacrifise...). This helm is too niche to stay high on price or if it does, it has to be very rare.	Posted by Grughal#6448 on Feb 7, 2015, 2:26:16 PM Quote this Post
