abyssus prices

I am trying to buy an abyssus helmet and looked through poe.xyz On Torment there seem to be roughly two price categories, there are a whole bunch of helmets in the 5-15c range, and a number in the 1-2Ex range. On standard the prices range from anywhere between 3c and 5Ex. None of these prices are for corrupt helmets and the more expensive ones don't seem to have better rolls. (I thought the main application of abyssus is for face breaking and the flat phys damage roll is fixed anyway) Am I missing something? Is there any reason why the price has such a huge range?

Yeah, there are other rolls on abyssus that are very important.
50% crit multi makes a big difference in dps.
10% increased physical damage taken can be the difference between dying or not, especially against reflect.

Besides those 2 points, 50% of the items might be overpriced as usual.

I'd say the increased damage taken roll is probably the most important one on the helm for most people, as the roll determines whether you need a bunch of extra phys mitigation, or a whole lot of extra phys mitigation.

Depends on the league.

Depends what you want...



This a a fairly bad one... High phys damage taken and low crit multi. I wouldn't buy one like this for more than 5c...


This one has a low crit multi, but also a fairly low phys damage roll. For builds like facebreakers the multi doesn't matter too much, this is why you can price rolls like this higher.
If you're lucky you may find one like this for 10ish chaos.


This one has both a high crit multi and a low phys roll. Rolls like these are harder to find and you may as well end up paying 1ex for these.

Rolls even closer to perfect are going to cost you 2+ ex.

Hope that helps.

Edit: Even though most facebreaker builds (if not all) use it, it's a great helmet for any crit (+/-physical) build too and your DPS will skyrocket with it (150% crit multi is insane). Used it on both my ele (!) crit cyclone & phsyical flicker stricker this league.
