Maybe I'll make that a little side goal this league after I hit 100, 100 exalt gear budget with a Headhunter and see if that actually does trivialise stuff

It absolutely slaps, just a case of the people having fun with it are too busy playing the game to complain about how much fun they are having

Bahaha, a fair call! I'll definitely test it out then

Just nerf Headhunter because it is more OP than old Ingenuity. 60s of 10-20 rare mods is insanely OP especially in game with no challanging endgame bosses.

It makes You OP in almost all game mechanics:
- Breach insenely OP
- Abbys insenely OP
- Expedition/Logbooks insenely OP
- Simluactrum insenely OPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
- Strongboxes OP
- Ritual OP

Event worst rolled headhunter makes your character 3x stronger.

Wait why did this turn into talking about the currency exchange?

In the original post, he went on to ask why do some things list for less when selling compared to buying. He edited it out of the post.

yeah i then managed to buy 90 for 1 ex lol so i deleted it and since i did not refresh the forum post it did not show answers ;D


yeah i agree it needs a downside but the blink in poe 2 is way worse than it tis in poe 1 since we only got 1 life

so i dont think to ask to adabt it or lower cd would be unreasonable
but that being said the game has other problems to focus on first i know. just thought i throw it out there to see what others think.

Dunno why you consider it a noob bait, they buffed it in 0.3 so it's 60 seconds now. Before that, probably was a bit of a bait. Now you are just rocking around with 20 rare mods for entire maps, it doesn't really matter if you teleport into a bad situation if everything just explodes when you look at it

Mostly cause of teleporting into a bad situation, yeah. I couldn't imagine anything worse than warping onto a pile of Desecrated Ground or some such thing and I'd sooner drag my bare ass across a field of cacti than encounter that LOL

Kind of the way I always saw it was that you get enough power even without it, so having it is just "One shotting mobs harder". To me at least, the only modifier that seems to be of any real value would be the Haste, but even then...

Like, if you've got the 60 div to shell out for a Headhunter, your build's probably already at or nearing its apex in power anyway, so I can't REALLY see a situation where that particular downside's so necessary

It's not quite like a Mageblood for example which just straight up fills every single hole a build may have in a single item

haha yeah exactly that feels really bad ;D and no my build otherwise is super budget.

i craft a amulet that gave me 60 d for HH ;D turned out hh was only 37 D now and i even corrupted 20 cold ressist on top ^^
with the rest i crafted 2 other amulets one for me and another one for sale. i started late so i dont even have hybrid gear running around full evasion another reason why that blink for me is just death and map BYE BYE ;D


if you have full gear you probably survive most of those blinks. but HH for me is the one item i normally farm and then i see if its fun enough for a mirror bow or if i stop before that. often i stop long before that. and most other gear i craft. i mean poe1 with the mirror shards now is perfect for the strat^^ you just need to keep your ships running and get the bow for free at some point.

but again in poe1 u can die 5 times who cares. here its you look for 3 towers set it all up... or farm 150 sim splinters to then blink on the boss 10 times on wave 15/15 that just feels bad for no reason ;D

I also started to hate it. It's so annoying and confusing sometimes.
Want to pick up this chaos orb, and it throws me randomly somewhere.
Just going one way it teleports me in opposite way.
Want to open strnkbox, sike, im somewhere randomly away from it.
Really annoying feature for players, especially with many mobs on the screen and if you're ranged as it makes it even worse.

For melee character its decent as you don't have to run around, but ranged chars its nightmare.

That's me, chanced it this league, having a blast!

Abyss mods are the funniest!

I just dodge back if situation is too tight when teleporting to them but most of the time it's no problem at all other than when i try to pick my loot.

Solution: Dont use Headhunter

Np, glad to help
