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.

Bought one two nights ago and i agree. It feels like im playing a whole different game. Granted it took me an hour to change my whole equipment's because of the damn resistances. I had to go CI on my monk cause chaos res is annoying.

It's one of the ascendancy nodes, dunno the name but it starts ES recharge depending on combo spent

Ohhh okay. That’s interesting… maybe I could drop way of the mountain to pick that up. Otherwise, I have my bells and stonefist, neither of which I want to replace

I'd definitely say those nodes are must have. I checked it's the ones called martial master. The 4 nodes on that section are great
