Is Headhunter worth it?

Assuming you can afford this item.... Is it really that good? I have a Wanderer that I thought about getting this for.

Also, "when you kill a rare monster you gain its mods for 20 seconds? Does that mean Yellow monsters only? Or does that apply to blue and uniques as well?

Can you afford to add Nemesis to maps through Zana? Or at least roll extra rares on your map affixes? If you can afford a Headhunter, I assume so, but if not, then it isn't gonna be nearly as fun.

Why the fuck do you think it's worth like 500000 chaos lol of course it's worth it.

Best item in game imo. 2nd is Rampage mechanics.

It becomes "worth it" at some point if you're clearing maps fast enough... but by then, you probably don't need it.

If you're like me and take 20 minutes to do a map, it doesn't do all that much for you. So... the answer is: It depends on you.

Massive clear speed boost aside,thing is damn fun to play with. It literally turns an ARPG into cheap korean grinder...in a way.

This item is a win more item that works best when you already clear like a god. Also, its mostly useless vs event bosses so keep that in mind.

Throwing this on a mediocre clear speed build will yield little gain for the cost.

If you are like me and like to sort of take your time and pick up small currency, or even rares in general, you will not gain much value from this belt. This is really meant for god-tier clear speed builds and ignoring any drops that are not big.

I happened to randomely find one in SSF, but I usually pick up rares for recepie and small currency like chroms and alts, so I found myself not gaining much value from this belt. I used it for a few days for the lulz and pretty much moved on.

So wether it's worth it or not depends on your playstyle in my opinion.

After reading what guys recommending: simply buy it, play it. If you dont like it, u can always sell it. But I really doubt you will do that.

Writing following as reminder: .)

It gives 30% vs yellow mobs!, give over 50 to dexterity and strength. For leveling there is no better item, even for endgame mapping due steeling mods: movement, resists, hp, es, reflect and many more.
For Shaper or Uber Atziri you switch to another belt. And after play maps again.


Those rings gives you lot of intelligence, so with HeadHunter you will have enough stats to level up.


This item gives u so great movement speed, that mobs have hard time to hit you.


Following items gives you great boost to leveling as well, are great even for end game build.


This one is fantastic for projectile gems, not so universal as above items but worth to mention imo


And not to forget for leveling great item :)


You will loose usually resists from belt, so you will have to tweak build you are using now, but its worth. You gear it up at lvl 40 and put it aside only on Shaper or Uber imo.

I hope you already have it!

Did you just advocate getting a HH to make the leveling process smoother?
