Please nerf headhunter

this item is absolutely bonkers, even cyclone turns into a super fast clear speed meta skill just by having that one item and no item should ever be so busted that it becomes mandatory. I suggest that GGG should nerf the buff effects (no duration) by around 70 percent, this way the item would still be decent without being broken.

haters will say this is a troll thread but all i will say to them is that by abusing this item you are part of the problem regarding this game's inbalanced clear speed meta.

Well, good then, that's the exact reason for HH to exist, it's meant to be one of the few 'bonkers' items.

Great it's there in that case I would say, mission accomplished!

Also it's not in any way mandatory, though it's always a nice thing to have, that's for sure.

It's overrated actually

52EX in synthesis pretty ridiculous to say its mandatory.

hahahaha this item literally makes the game easier than diablo 3.. yep I named your nemesis exile.. I fail to understand the logic about why this item hasnt been nerfed or throw on the legacy status and never seen again.

most faceroll item in the game.. add it the fotm build and there you go you can easily farm thousands of exalts.

Is it really such a bad thing that HH is ludicrously powerful? It's kind of the only chase unique POE has anymore.

Besides, if you've got the 55 exalts you can easily beat all content in the game regardless just by investing into god tier rares and the right Watcher's Eye.

So I gotta disagree, OP, at least until this game gets another unique on that level of chase-ness.

you can buy a mirror weapon nad faceroll the content, so lets remove mirrored items with perfect rolls too, right?

bad example. Even mirrored items still have less less less power than headhunter.

Which mirrored item could give you 200k ES?

Problem with PoE itemization isn't Headhunter, the problem is in this game there is zero consistency how they handle item pool.

-Items such as Headhunter are allowed to exist just to break the game
-Other old uniques are nerfed through the ground for 'balance reasons' (yeah right)
-Other absolutely broken new uniques are introduced every league
-In the meanwhile, crafting is allowed to get out of control, so uniques in general are made useless (hello chest armor)
-GGG casts dice which uniques are allowed to have a legacy version and which are just f*cked up next time they announce a patch
-No compensation whatsoever in game for the people who lose their stuff and their build viability
-They still introduce uniques tab but f*ck that, see above

So, looking at the list, there is zero comprehensive policy -meaning your stuff is worth whatever it is and maybe it is removed from the game tomorrow altogether, because f*ck you. This is actually part of the reasons I stopped playing PoE. I felt having a long-term collector attitude in their game was a waste of time (even if collector attitude in general is a waste of time, thanks to GGG, however, they taught me it pretty fast explicitly -and I was doing it SSF, meaning every item drop was through hours of grind).

I mean, maybe they start deleting your characters next without notice. I wouldn't know, haven't logged in for a while now.
