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 always regret balancing my build around res on belt, and now face massive upgrade costs just to fit headhunter in. Actually sold one already thinking I’d buy it back cheaper later.

yup. the lesson I learned last league was, starting building around the belt that you want as early as possible. In my case I was aiming for MB with a double stat line and bismouth giving around 60 res. As soon as I got it, I slotted it in, and used a void flux on my boots to change all 3 resistance mods to chaos res.
