headhunter teleporting

I hate it i wonder if shroud walker on hh is intentional i hated it since 0.1 and yes they need to stop with this toxic shit if they want to keep their game alive
unique items should never be best in slot for every build. if hh isn't right for your build, don't use it? really want to use hh? use a build that can handle it.

It is intentional. People hated it in PoE1, people hate it now. Shroudwalker is your price for using HH.
they can at the very least describe their intentions and let the community know instead of hiding as usual with weird shit like this tbh

it's ok logic if there was an absolute bis alternative. In poe 1 I go for HH in day 2-3, 4 if giga-unlucky, and then I go for Mageblood with no doubts. In poe 2 I have 0 alternatives in my belt slot. In season 1 there was ingenuity, in s 3 PROBABLY I may take a look for abyssal one, while I aquired 3-4 mirror-slots. Now there is only headhunter and pointless abyssal farm
I think they need to at least change it to teleport where your cursor is or to the nearest monster to your cursor, and not just to a random monster.

+1
I absolutely agree with how annoying this teleporting is with this belt. Surely this can be done in a better way, if it has to be kept. The game is literally preventing you from going where you want...

- pulling you back right to the place you are trying to escape for instance
- or you will jump on a monster which you identify as a priority target, and it will teleport you elsewhere instantly... preferably next to the least dangerous monsters when you really need to deal with the big bad one immediately
- teleporting you 4-5-6 times per 10 seconds, and you have literally half a second to reposition your mouse, re-assess your location and the dangers around you, kill everything in an instant and get ready for the next teleport 1 second later

Seriously, this is just supremely annoying and I am surprised I haven't died yet because of it. It's been close on occasion...

Surely, it can be implemented better. And I will say it plainly, ideally the game should try to understand the player's intent avoid avoid doing the exact opposite. That would be greatly appreciated.

imho you should be in control of your character. I can understand being frozen or stunned, but this is way beyond and bad design. Surely the frequency can be tweaked in high density fights, at the very least. And surely it should be feasible to not teleport people left when they are trying to go right.
Teleport is always great for me since I play melee.

The fact is, there's very little mods that benefits melee aside from general buff like haste.

Most of them are a bunch of AUTO Spells that have little benefit for MELEE.

Plus I don't really see it a problem either.


1) You can choose not to use the belt.
2) You can choose to unequip and equip back.
3) You can not be a glasscannon.
4) You can also just wait for 60sec for the buffs to end before fighting boss.


So what's the big deal?

HH is not a BIS for EVERYBUILD, it is convenient unique for some.
I have 2 HH and I'm not even using them, because I have better belt.
