Just a bit of background info on the item.

Thematically this is designed around the Starz! series, 'Spartacus'. I've also attributed it the name "The Bringer of Rain" in honour of Andy Whitfield (original actor of Spartacus) who tragically passed away. The item is designed to encompass the entire show as best it can, honouring as many people as possible between the look of the helm, it's name, and flavour text.

I dont know what to say bro i am rly speechless having such a idea makes u a gr8 guy in my eyes even i never spoke with u in game stuff like this is rarely seen in gaming communities i dont wanna go all emo here XD hahha but rly a nice idea and gr8 thumbs up from me

Regards Gdark

And for the hater that posted such a stupid thing about this item being shitty rly i am also speechless but coz of totally opposite reason. Cheers

I'd like to see that helm on a build designed around melee, high blocking (either shield or dual wield), and Iron Reflexes without Unwavering Stance. The loss of chest armour definitely hurts, but if you can make good use of all those bonuses...

Thankyou very much, and a big thanks to everyone else that has given the item positive feedback, and pushed crazy build ideas with the item. Not in my wildest dreams had I thought the item would have such a strong reception, and it's really encouraging to hear that people are inspired to do some gnarly melee stuff with it, as that had been my ambition when designing the mechanics of the item. Cannot wait to see what people will do with the helm in 0.11.0 :)

damn this healm might be really sick for my physical cleave with hight block (39%) but...since this helm have no resist at all and losing all the resist from armor also....that mean you are going to have a hudge lack of resist...+the armor/evasion seem a bit low when you think a good armor have around 2k evasion and a helm around 600....you are losing a lot.you also lose a 4 link.....

overall it could be sick but the drawback is just HUDGE....

you dont lose a 4link you get your main attack to have the ability that most melee use flame totem with :P

aka blind.

most melee use flame totem?hum....not really.my build use 5-6 link for cleave,4 link for dual strike and another 4 link for flicker.using this helm mean,no more flicker and in my case,flicker is a big mobility skill for me that help going from pack of mobs to another pack of mobs but also help dealing dmg (using blood rage for frenzy charge generation and splash to dmg all the mobs around.im not using it for is dmg but its still have is good side.

this helm would be pretty nice since i would gain blind for my cleave and also a nice block boost (going from 39% to 54%) that would make a 7link cleave but im also losing 2 lvl on melee physical dmg/faster attack +the 20% quality on both this support.i could also deal with losing a 4L and just use my flicker alone without is support BUT the lose of like 90% resist from both helm +armor (lets say 3 resist of 30%) is just insane....im also using a 2k eva armor and a 600 eva helm and that would make me lose a really big amount of armor....most say armor is useless but its not.i have 11k armor (about 24k with granite) and it make a hudge difference.

i might try that helm if i can put my hand on one but like i said,the drawback seem pretty insane,well for my build atleast.i guess il keep waiting to see if a new unique that will perfectly fit my build one day but so far....its not the case...all the unique are for caster/low life build/summonner and thing like that.i hope one day someone will make a nice end-game physical dmg sword just like those OP 2hand mace/bow/staff/2hand axe...melee physical user dont have much love in this game :( hope the new patch will give us some

It seems an awesome unique for me. If i drop this someday i will do a melee build for sure

I bought the helm for 3 ex on hardcore... ended up re-selling.. Was too lazy to play a build with it. Though I could see my own buuld able to hit 75% block with it.

I am very impressed by this new item. It is obvious a lot of thought went into designing it.

I will be looking forward to making a full leather and steel cyclone build, with 75% shield block, full endurance charges and arrow dogging. My only concern is that 10% chance to gain endurance charge on block might not be enough to keep endurance charges up at all time when in combat.(20% seems more reasonable). But that is something that can be answered only through extensive testing in the future.

Hopefully it revives custom headgear art.

Would just like to say the legacy item crude bow dropped for me yesterday so is still able to be gained it was in a race tho so not sure how that works !!

i just tought about something...blind=higther chance that monster miss you but,if you use unwevering stance that make you unable to evade,does this mean blind will have no effect at all?if its the case,this item might have some problem lol.having hight block without unwevering mean you will get *stun* everytime you block and this helm is made for hight block build...being stun all the time will be pretty bad.if its the case,i guess ppl using this helm will need LOT of stun duration reduction.
