I like the tp, I don't have to click to move around. It's awesome

Ya, its pretty handy finding the last couple enemies in temple rooms. And playing flickerstrike, it feels pretty natural to have no control of position.

the headhunter definitely needs some downsides otherwise its just too op
the teleporting is too much though.
I think perhaps change the downside to something a little bit more bearable.

Any powerful item has a downside of being rare and expensive. It's not a passive skill point, that's accessible to anyone at any time, it doesn't need any downsides other than rarity.

It's not a buff or a nerf, it's a mechanic of a 40d meta item. It's technically supposed to be a good thing on paper, but in practice it's one of the worst mechanics in the game.

+1

I've honestly never understood why Headhunter is so expensive. It is not even that good half the time.

And the teleporting? That's the part that makes it FUN. It turns your character into a caffeinated Roomba that occasionally chooses violence in a new zip code. If that is unintentional and gets removed, then congrats, we found a way to make HH even more "meh".

If people want a downside, fine. For every boon you should gain a bane. But swapping out the one chaotic, distinctive mechanic for "generic buffs but with less personality" sounds like the kind of balancing that makes everything technically fair and emotionally dead.

if removed, hh price would double

also, its fine, get better defenses lol

Headhunter is not that rare this league due to temple. There's over 8000 for sale, most of which will never be sold.

I don't use it too because of the teleport. You're kind of forced to play a build that attacks in AOE without requiring aiming. So mostly Spark builds and a few others.

If teleports kill you, then you're unfit to use HH.
Get stronger. Try again later.

I understand why this thing is annoying. Hell, I sometimes have to reset the buffs to deal with some shit. But between severely nerfed HH without tp and current HH with tp I would always pick the latter. And it's pretty safe to assume that they will never remove tp without nerfing other stats (like limiting overall amount of buffs or the time they persists).

this has been brought up for MONTHS, and zero response from GGG.


The headhunter trait wjhere you teleport to the nearest enemy is the most bullshit, unforgiving, and unfun mechanic in the entire game. The amount of times I'm going through pinnacle bosses or high difficulty abyss' and pray to myself "please don't teleport Ill die" is way too common, over 50% of the time I'm playing.

It's an incredibly unfun gameplay loop, and the only solution is to leave my maps and come back in every time I get it. Please GGG, listen to your community, we've been begging.

if you can't survive the teleporting your build isn't tanky enough to wear hh. They're more likely to nerf it ito the ground before they help more players wear it, I'm surprised they havnt yet

How much more tanky do I have to be than 40k evasion, 2500 ES, and 1800 max life? Honest question.

Try 1 Life and 6k+ ES. I can teleport in any mob group and don't care about it. Only having 20k evasion aswell.
