Headhunter Belt - This is a joke right?
" Good question, don't honestly know but it just kind of is what it is anyway, stupidly overpowered and game breaking (unless the goal of the game is to intentionally trivialize it for the low skilled, or to enable uber slot machine junkie mode for min/maxers). Looks like you just get the effects as they read on the rare itself when you hover over it. Was pretty shocking to me that this even seemed to include the blue mana drain ring, which basically means if you're doing Eldritch Battery Mind Over matter, you're full mana no matter what. My experience was Put it on = god mod in Temple after 1 room, and in maps even average 15 maps using 2 tabs for irradiated and +boss stuff all focused on plus waystone drops. It was already basically easy mode on those maps anyway though. |

" That is a pretty insane interaction, Mobs don't even have mana bars so I guess it just leaches everything it touches? That's pretty strong, there is a shrine buff that is basically invincibility mode too. I really don't like the Aura mana drain, I think it looks bad, But it has good visibility. AOE mana drain that drains constantly is bad design imo, It would be better if it was single target & sucked mana out periodically Last edited by TwitchGLHFsport#2155 on Mar 18, 2026, 5:56:42 PM

" I will state I could be wrong in how that's working, you definitely see the same blue mana drain ring around you that was just around what you killed. It could be the Evasive, Armored, or some other effects making you unkillable anyway. It's hard to tell visually and know for sure. |

As a pure minion player, this is just another one for the museum of "cool item, not for you".
It is a bit depressing how often things like this end up buffing the main character while the actual killers are standing right behind him doing all the work. I don't need +lightning damage on my character like I'm suddenly going to jump in and start roleplaying as a budget Sorc. My minions are the ones killing the rares. They should be the ones cashing the paycheck. At this point I am fairly convinced GGG does not have a dedicated minion player on staff. The design vibe is always "go hit it yourself, coward". Meanwhile minion players are sitting in the corner like unpaid middle management watching everyone else get bonuses. So yes, for me HH is basically a very expensive joke. I'll take Ingenuity all day. |

" Totally agree! Minion and Companion get nothing, provide nothing special as Aura bonus, can't hit a shit mob without dieing fast and generally is better to have a bloodmage to run like an idiot pressing one button vanishing whole screen in msec until reaching 100 level and abandon game for anything else... |

Sooner or later game will become Poe1's clone where everything will be blown like volcano eruption and noone can stop this abjection. Nice try Devs, at least don't kidding us with vision dreams...

" Yea the endgame dynamics really make me miss D2’s slower approach. the latter is a proof we can have an excellent ARPG without stupid density |

Posts like these are the reason why we can't have nice things.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and we should try to respect that but I genuinely believe that this game is doomed. My bitterness has peaked. I could simply ignore the post, act constructive and make my own thread but each time I log back to see news on the forum I get depressed. Gonna wait and see if speed is un nerfed for 0.5, if not you will never hear from me again in here. |

" Not accounting for Jonathan's own statements early in development about meaningful, visceral, slower combat, this game was clearly aiming for that from an art point of view. All effects and mob animations are clearly designed for that. If you can't see it, then there's no point in you arguing with those who do. Also, may I ask you, why not play PoE1 and drop PoE2 altogether if it's somehow not fast enough? Doesn't PoE1 do everything you want? Or do you just want more frequent leagues? |
