Why headhunters glory? only because it has 3 sockets? change to block is really low on it too..
why not Stormshield with BER?
you gain 30 str, enough for your Double upped Goblin toes, and to reach max block you´ll save a ton of dex points that can go into vit.
next to that, you gain 50% DR...
ok, you'll lose +15/-15% cold damage, but you´ll get soo much for it in return that I think it is worth it..
Your trying to solve a perceived durability issue that isnt there and giving up lots of damage in order to get it. If you like your ss, go for it. I dont recommend it, and the handful of people I know who have done the build didn't feel they needed it either. We all play on hardcore too, so take that for reference. HHG is chosen as it's the only unq 3 socketed shield, and it has res on it which make it handy for this build. I do reference a couple other options in the guide. This is a guide template, season to taste while meeting the character goals.
If you read the guide, you'll see I only suggest max block on Sanctuary, and suggest hitting 50% on HHG which is comparable to Claw block.
Suprised it hasnt come up yet as it ALWAYS comes up , but I'm still waiting for the nab to come on saying "What about Enigma?!" Skip it on this build. Coh has your res allowing bos, Treachery gives you ias allowing fade. Your either going bos or fade and enigma doesnt work well for either. This char is best at walking areas. If you want a teleporting boss hunter go make a character better suited for this. This aint your mf'er.
