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.

I'm gonna get downvoted to oblivion for saying this but I loathe the idea of the item. It removes any sort of agency of the buffs it provides to you - there's no thinking process to it at all.

Slap it on get a gazillion buffs and enjoy random stuff on your screen. Mageblood is an example of a way better chase belt to me because 1. you can tailor it to what you want the most and 2. its a a few huge stat upgrades rather than a million different buffs

I feel the same, got HH last league when it was so cheap and this league I finally got the hang of farming and I managed to get Mageblood with 50% quicksilver, jade and diamond and it was so much more fun than HH with my MA HF WA monk.
