Nerf headhunter

You don’t seem to understand the problem with Headhunter. This item, if obtained by the second day at the latest, completely dominates the game’s economy. Suddenly, any build turns into a currency - farming machine. You can comfortably make around 100 Divines within 24 hours of buying or chancing a Headhunter.
For example, on day three a Divine Orb sells for around 90 Exalts. Any Omen from Ritual costs 20 - 50 Exalts, and they appear very frequently. Not to mention that you’re able to run fully juiced T15 maps, because that’s the only place where meaningful loot actually drops.
The problem isn’t that fun is “not allowed.” The real issue is the power level this item provides - especially considering how easy it is to obtain early. On average, it takes about 100 chance orbs on heavy belts, which players are already selling for 1 Exalt on day one.

It's funny because I picked up HH yesterday, and tbh... I don't really feel any more powerful than I did before. I still blow up screens at a time in juiced T16 as Ice Wolf and killing bosses in one or two freezes. The main difference I notice is that stupid teleport mod that loves to kill me by teleport me into ground effects. Sometimes I get a haste mood and run faster, that one feels good. Low sample size but I already feel like I'm dying more because of the belt teleporting than I feel any power I gained. I can definitely feel that I'm missing 20% instant flasks from my previous rare utility belt. Getting Dex on a belt is kind of nice to help my type stat costs, except having a good triple res belt freed up more affix pressure to fix stats on my other jewelry.

Imo, a big reason is so popular, besides the iconic nature of the item, is that normal belts are so incredibly boring. The charm and flask affixes might even be technically strong, but they're invisible to the player so they feel like essentially a dead mod. Because of that, I want Life and Armor prefixes, and every other option feels very unexciting. Mana is my third pick or maybe increased life flask recovery, but neither would excite me to hit a T1 slam. Suffixes are pretty much just a resist stick. Maybe you want some life regen or Strength, but that's it. You can't even get other attributes or all ele res on a belt.

It's the same reason the original Ingenuity was so good, because ring slots just have more better affix options than belts. If the belt slot has affixes as powerful as rings or amulets, I wouldn't be using a headhunter.

I do not understand having such unbalanced unique items.

If this was not just a copy and paste from POE 1 I'd be VERY confused.

It also only works for certain types of builds that have ZERO equivalent.

To be quite honest I am not sure there is anyone that works there that knows how items are supposed to work. Everything we have is recycled ideas from the last decade. It shows even in iteration, no ecosystem should have such huge chasms in balance. I hope it gets handled, until then it just POE 1 all over again.

98% of them are trash, yet the ghouls want to have every single one of them to be hot trash.

This belt is not even broken. People are just insanely jealous and cannot stand when other players can afford good items by griding the game.

Imagine posting these kinds of threads during christmas time.

You can simply not use it, but of course not. Everyone should feel miserable.


Like I said, this thread can, and should be deleted on the spot with a direct warning, if repeated, it should lead to a very long time period ban.

Another one is talking like HH is some luxury item. It's stupidly easy to obtain, I would feel nothing if tomorrow they will delete it from the game.

Facts don't care about your feelings.

The facts are simple:

This belt is not broken.
You absolutely don't need that item at all.
It's not that great, ingenuity in 0.1 was 1000000000000000000000 times superior.

I play minion, I don't use it because I have a vastly superior belt I can use.

Also, you don't even need it, even a basic belt offers a lot of perks that HH dosen't have.

I will repeat it, HH is not broken at all. Anyone asking for it to be deleted is jealous and will never be satisfied until this game is completely ruined.

This thread can, and should be closed as it was created to rage bait people during christmas.

Nice flex, who cares?

HH dosen't affect you, It will not hurt you. Leave it alone. Let the player enjoy the game. Stop trying to act like the fun police.

Move on with your life, enjoy the game. Stop trying to determine what other player should do. HH is beloved, stay away from it if you don't like it.

OK.
Sorry for giving out feedback about an outlier item.
