I think HeadHunter needs a little rework

We can all admit HH lost almost all of it's value and it's no longer a crazy good drop like it used to be, the effects of the belt are very nice but they do not compare anymore to a extremely good rare or a MageBlood.

Here's what I have in mind to possibly make it better.


Instead of you getting the modifiers of the rare you killed for 60 seconds you instead get 1-2(there's a roll, no roll if it's OP so 1) of it's modifiers for as long as you remain in the map, you cannot get the same modifier twice so if you would get one you already have you would get a different one guaranteed. (permanent until you die or leave the map).


This way if you make content which are time consuming you will always keep the benefits and if you do one that has a lot of rares like Blight or Breach you'll have MANY modifiers for all of the map.

This would boost the value and strength of this belt like crazy and make it Worth using again.

HH lost its appeal around 3.18 league when they redesigned rare monster modifiers.

Most damage modifiers are now "Gain X% of physical as Y element" therefore in order to squeeze the most juice out of HH you need to play a physical conversion build. Physical weapons are very annoying to craft and roll. On top of conversion gear too.

In current league physical conversion builds aren't in the best spot. Casters are king and the attack builds that are meta are all elemental base builds. HH is pretty useless with elemental base weapon, as majority of dmg mods are gain X% PHYSICAL as elemental.

They could make ONE change that would make Headhunter more desirable:

Remove Ambusher from the list of modifiers that can be acquired.

No....we ALL can't admit that lol. Not even those playing the game. The belt, at its cheapest, is still currently being sold at over 10 divines. And frankly, that drop in value isn't even a direct measure of the strength of the belt but rather an amalgamation of its loss of power, coupled with balance passes on loot in content that favors HH play.

What we all can actually agree on is that its simply less overwhelmingly powerful in some scenarios.

Why does it NEED to be more powerful than those other things? And sure, when taken in isolation it may be weaker than a good rare. But taken in a HH-designed build, when used in HH-friendly content......it continues to be incomparably strong. Almost obscenely so.

You want a single item to be BiS for each and every scenario, all the time, on every build, with no exception?

Speak for yourself lol. I love headhunter and when I play a new league the first thing I go for is a replica until I can afford a real one, then I keep that until the league is over.

hoho let's make mageblood use unique flasks while we're at it.

I would make replica mageblood for heist that would use one unique flask.
