Kdding me right, that 8-15% cold skill damage will do like nothing for your hurricane and that's because hurricane isn't your main damaging skill. You're mostly using tornado, better off with a +3-5 nado pelt.
Not that a whole bunch of people use this helmet but I really find Kiras to be a good helmet. That 70 all resist and cannot be frozen is just too insane. It works good for builds that lack resist like a bowazon for example. Also nice on a Uber Smiter with lw pb.
I always use it on a fury druid. Cannot be frozen mod frees up one ring slot so you can use dual angelics. And of course the massive resistance boost paired with COH or Fort + Fade proc from treachery give you maxed res even against uber meph.
Frankly, I think the Vamp Gaze on your Merc is underrated. Life leech, damage reduction, moderate good defense and even a little added damage from cold and some magic damage reduction. I use it socketed with a IAS jewel On my Merc. Cheep to get, to boot. Nice option for the non rich players.
All the trash tier helms have legit use cases, I've used them all especially while leveling, and even Darksight for endgame Melee Necromancer until I got a more GG Coronet, Howltusk is classically great for a Bowazon, and Coif of Glory is basically the best you can get for a level 14 helm. Just saying...
I prefer Vampire Gaze over any helm for my merc as he is being used as a human shield :D so dmg reduction is key. Do not really understand the hype for Andy's visage. Also Peasant crown is a great helm in normal and early nightmare.
I think Griffon's deserves top spot over Shako. The power level of that item is off the charts, and it is BIS for the most OP builds in the game. I have some weird shako phobia though, I literally never use that item for some reason (admittedly, I do play niche builds).
Great video man. Looking forward for more, subbed ;) I'm SP Grail on 1.13c and will need to grind my ass off for CoA and Griffon's. Inspired by a identification of 50k pindle runs on Dbrunski channel and decided to go for that challenge. 2k so far and a set Diadem is the closest I get to it 😂 but I'll not quit
o_O trash helmets? Yes there are some, but not really the ones shown. How is dim vision on struct and cannot be frozen on low lvl gear trash? Especially for ranged character. Massive missile def, blind target and light resist at lvl 14 is trash? Even the knockback helm could be ok for bowazone, if you're playing solo.
Another build nightwings is really good with is I use it on my elemental druid +2 all skills just like BIS shako but adds cold damage for hurricane.
also for a RIFTsin with a cold facet in it!!

I was about to say the same thing.
Darksight Helm is not garbage. It gives cannot be frozen at level 38. It's a pretty good alternative to death sash which only has 2 rows of potions.

Really nobody is shocked about shako... ^^
Found my first griffon's today though (almost min) - nevertheless I never thought I'd find one
I gave up on finding that, now I'm just waiting for ladder congratulations on getting a Griffin's Helm I know how hard it is to find one.

or steelskull for the mf boost
I know it's a circlet but I really like Kira's Guardian. It's no Shako but still useful for me
I like Kira ' s it should have been on the list imo. Along with either Rock stopper or peasant crown
@@henrytownshed5304 I like peasant too
Kira usually just for merc
@@scribbleingz I used to until I got an Andariel Visage
Same. Just still no eth Andy yet for me

use Coif of Glory on an early bow or javelin Amazon and you quickly change your mind about it.
Vampire Gaze is good for act II mercenary/meelee characters - Frenzy Barbarian, Dragon Claw Assassin, Zealot.
I prefer the 20% dmg reduction of a vamp gaze over the andys visage any day.
I love these even if two years old. See like you I do not have endless amounts of time so I dabble in this game and have since it first came out.

I found an eth Vampire Gaze, and socketed it with a +AS jewel...it has everything Kasim needs! (just no resists).
love this style of video phil
honorable mention... Arreat's face... because frenzy barb ;D
Accurate list bro, nice work! I think COA 2OS is great for Zealer build with 2X 15% atk spd++ Jewells

Sweet Phil back at it! LESGO!
My mercenary is using a howltusk right now. Don't bad mouth howltusk.
love the D1 sound track
Subscribed - KEEP SLAAAAAYING!
Coa is crucial for smiter. However you need a few for elements
for how often it's used i'm a little surprised that G-face isnt on the list
Agreed, but perhaps he focused on uniques rather than sets.
5:54 25% to faster castrate ? It hurts just hearing you say it Sweet Phil!! ouch
😆😆😆 everyone hits me with that. Must be my Michigan accent. Or I just talk lazy, slur words.

do minus to enemy resistance works in trapsin? does lightning sentry deduct resistance when it hit?
Yes
I think I would have done g face at 5 rather then Nightwing. Every smiter use it plus many Melee builds and it's great on Merc too.
Still thumbs up!
Gface is not a uniqe helmet, its a set item
I know it’s not unique, but I would call out tals helm as a poor man’s visage for mercs.
I got a eth Rock stopper on my mercenary instead of the Andy's Helm its better.
My best find in D2R was a 19/15 griffons
the only people that would be surprised at NO;1 would be the people who've never played the game.
Thanks Phil!
Phil lookin TAN
How come eth up arreat face is not in the list,
I'm gonna say Gface is definitely top tier.
My sorc got one shako, very Nice item
Yep knew it once I saw griffon at 2 had to be shako
+2 to all atributes in shako is ridiculous 🤣
damn people do be looking for faster castrate huh
Considering your tan, I assume the honeymoon was successful ;)
Number 1 is cracked tiara.
I love to use andys on my bowazons
Shako!!!😎
I just started playing D2R i find it hard to find good gears..
Perfect list! Haha
I must have bad luck or Blizz changed something. I haven't found a shako yet in res, but in the original I got tired of seeing it.

Let me guess before watching...
Griff
Shaco
NW
Andarials
CoA
We all know the godlys are rare circlets tho;-)
