i finally tried a headhunter - post for n00bs only

After almost 5 years of playing, i finally got a headhunter and decided to try it with my current build.

Level 98 bleed EQ gladiator.
On my body armour i have 3% explode (will be relevant later).
For belt, i'm using Ryslatha's coil, and according to PoB i have 18m damage.

So i replaced the Ryslatha with headhunter, and checked PoB.
The damage dropped to 14m.

I said to myself "ok, lets do at least 20 maps to test drive the hh".

I gotta tell you - it's fun.
I started dashing around, shooting earthquakes everywhere, and i noticed that suddenly i'm getting mods of frenzy charges, of speed, at some point i got 1k more life and ES, which was fun,
but to be honest, I didn't feel much change.
The huge damage benefit from the Ryslatha, and the 3% explode from the body armour are do wonders to the clearspeed, and I can't say i felt a faster clearing.

The factor of fun, though, is something that we shouldn't ignore.

and then i did bosses, drox and sirus a8.

The missing of the ryslatha was heavily noticed.
HH's aren't for bosses i guess.

Maybe it was me, maybe the excitement, maybe only god knows,
but as a player that usually do sirus a8 deathless,
i died 6 times.
maybe it has nothing to do with the hh,
but psychologically there's a connection in my head.

To make the long story short, i returned to my original belt, and put the hh for sale.

This is my impression - you may think differently, and it's ok, of course.
This is my just thought.

Enjoy.

Gratz on HH, it's fun to clear with, but don't use it on big bosses, just swap it to your dps belt.
Even on RF character HH was fun, esp. legion nodes which has a lot of rare mobs which you kill twice.

Did you do any Rituals, Beyond, or other rare-mob heavy content? That's where it really shines.

I got my 1st HH after years of playing too:D it’s definitely just for clear as u need to keep rolling those mods from rares. I’ve put it on my CoC ice nova char and it’s fun to play with.. That is only reason I do log in to standard once a time to mess around with it;)

Grats on getting a HH. I got my first one a few leagues ago, vaaled it, so I could check both of those off the to do list and then threw it in the uniq stash tab.

Haven't tried it yet. If I was running crazy modded maps with lots of rare mobs for loot, I'd probably work it in.
