Overlord's Helm bugged?
#13
Quote:I beg to differ. Mind you, this is the only helm apart from Gotter that gives you BOTH as much as +20str AND +15dex WITHOUT the disadvantage of zero resists; In other words, no other helm gives that much str and dex combined. This is IMO highly useful for some types of low ac warriors who need to pump up their effectiveness as much as possible combined with a fast sword due to the need to be FAST.

Once a Warrior (1) can hit his enemy (2) has stun damage, he's in the clear. The rest is a matter of playing him well. Assuming (1) and (2) are satisfied, Overlord's Helm might have +20 STR but for it to be effective it must actually reduce the number of swings necessary to kill an enemy. Likewise, +15 DEX is only effective if he uses a shield and doesn't yet have perfect blocking. With a LAW, I'd prefer (for instance) a ResAll/Stars helm, which would free up a ring slot for a +ToHit or +Mana prefix (depending on need).

Quote:I even seriously consider giving it one day to my bloodslayer (heck even at the cost of some - not all - resists) as it is damn near impossible to pump up dmg to levels sufficient to dispose of hell/hell advocs RELIABLY with one blow (even at high clvl). Every point of dmg counts here and the overlords helm perhaps might get me one step closer to that holy grail :-)) (right now I am at about 65% advocs with one blow so that could make it say 70%?)

Do some calculations and see where OLH will get you.
