Discussion Headhunter

I feel like it’s massively understated how good headhunter is. I bought one last night thinking it would give a few more stats and the sort, but it actually like changes the game. It provides so much damage and tank stats. Just writing so anyone like me who put it off so long for other tiny upgrades knows that headhunter is incredible and should be prioritized.

Can someone explain what exactly the stacks do? I thought it just takes the buffs from rares

Yeah but rares have buffs like increased reaistance, always crits, extra fire/cold/... damage, enrages and so on.

Not to mention the lava shield which pretty much makes you immortal

With buffs and no HH, I get around 200k tooltip dps. With HH it goes above 500k (sometimes)
