Change stats on mythic mage helms (Vili's cowl)- What and why

[Caiahar]

18 STR, 35 INT, 2.8 Damage, 240 Armor

Yes! This is what it should be! Glad Devs are taking care of it.

great thread. thnx for this

Wait a minute Jaytb, I remember sts or someone saying, "The most rare doesn't mean the best" Doesn't this apply here? I mean, Mythic is rarer than Pinks and Sealord, but here you can see it gives dex, which is useless to Sorcerer. Sealord of Security/Will Is less rare, But better than Mythic. So maybe, just maybe, the Devs are teaching us that high Rarity doesn't mean the best? Think about it.

It would make sense if it were true for the other helmets as well, but only the mage one gives worse stats.

So, opinions now? I really like the change, but think it could still use a little bit more armor.

I'd have to check more, it's a tiny bit better currently but still not very impressive at first sight. Making dex a more valid stat was a step in the right direction, it's just that the tiny amount of dex on the helm doesn't make that much of a difference.

I'll look at it in more detail soon, still playing around with respecs and stats at the moment

I still think STR is preferable, just that DEX now is not totally useless.

IMO, this helm should, like all other mythic helmets, add at least some more HP and armor as compared to the best legendary counterpart.

Why not just add some str and armor to the existing stats? It's underpowered in therms of Dmg (which got more or less solved by making Dex add a bit to your Dmg now), HP and armor as compared to the other mythical helmets. This would make it at least equally good.

I think it just needs some more armor. The Bloodhammer/Sealord "of security" helms have 235 Armor, yet the mythic only has 226. But if you look at the rogue/warrior mythic helms, they have the most of any helm for both of those classes. So the mythic mage helm should have at least 240 in my opinion. Otherwise it's debatable if it's actually the best mage helm.

I agree. It got a tiny bit better after the update by making dex a more valuable stat but it's still the black sheep of the Mythic helms IMO

I could live with only some armor increase but it would be truly mythic if it got a bit of str with it too.

At least STS is listening and I hope they will see it the same way as we do

It does need a slight armor buff i cud agree. But giving up damage for a lil bit more hp???? doesnt sound that great too me.

[Zuzeq]

Maybe the sorcerer armor will be overt powered to compensate?
