Also valid points. Of course, you're entitled to your fair rating, and thanks for that.
Btw I didn't actually factor the gold color into my rating of 8.5-9. It was just a nice look to me.
However, I do disagree on find item. The 1% boost has a negligible effect if it takes you from 75 to 76%. IS frees up two skill points that don't HAVE to go into bo. Those points provide flexibility to allocate points elsewhere for variants that use other skills, for example, grim ward or bash/double swing. Or, of course, just bo if you want, which actually becomes more relevant in p5-p7, even with stun and battle cry.
Imo that flexibility outweighs a 1% find item increase.
Btw, the two saved points can still go into find item, so there's even more flexibility.
Thanks to this helm, my dream build is enabled with just enough points to max all my war cry and find item synergies at lvl 99. With even one less skill point, I'd be annoyed until the game goes out of service. Lol. But I appreciate your input and your 8.
I also understand that some of this is subjective, so my intention is not to argue about who's more right or wrong.
I just like good discussion.
That’s true about the BO becoming relevant at a higher player setting, can’t always keep everything stunned at once. I’m the type of person who can’t live without the maximum possible find item chance on any given pvm barb build. I always feel like I’m missing out on potential godlies 🤣 not to say that I’d stack war cry gcs on a we barb necessarily, but just the max find item I can get while maintaining top kill speed for the build. Anywho. It’s a nice helmet regardless
