Headhunter bricks impale and physical builds

Sadly when you steal some buffs with headhunter with impale builds you instantly stop doing damage whatsoever, this is not just because of conversion but also because of how impale only works with physical damage.

The following archnemesis modifiers brick impale and avatar of fire builds:
Chaosweaver : 25% of Physical Damage Converted to Chaos Damage
Flame Strider : 50% of Physical Damage Converted to Fire Damage (ok this one doesn't brick avatar of fire)
Frost Strider : 25% of Physical Damage Converted to Cold Damage
Ice Prison : 25% of Physical Damage Converted to Cold Damage
Magma Barrier : 25% of Physical Damage Converted to Fire Damage (this one doesn't brick AoF either)
Mana Siphoner : 50% of Physical Damage Converted to Lightning Damage
Storm Strider : 50% of Physical Damage Converted to Lightning Damage
Stormweaver : 25% of Physical Damage Converted to Lightning Damage

I'd humbly request to fix this by removing the conversion part on the buffs and converting them to physical as extra, i really enjoyed my impale cyclone zerker with headhunter and mageblood just doesn't feel the same while mapping.

Welcome to the club, mate. Asked for this shit since day 1.

And the irritating part is that HH is great now. It's just a great steaming pile of bs that convert is still there.

I disagree.

When I tried HH on my blade flurry general's cry build, I simply replaced brutality and the build probably dealt 2 times the damage as compared to using ryslatha's coil, once I got a few archnem buffs. The build relies heavily on impale, yet the damage still was better. That's because of how crazy strong the archnem modifiers are.

The thing about HH right now is that it needs you to specifically build around it to take full advantage of it. You can no longer just slap a HH on any build and expect it to work. Moreover, some builds will indeed benefit from HH with more success than others, which is totally fine in my opinion.

my damage gets more than halfed, especially on bosses like in simulacrum.

The conversion bricks a bunch of builds, not just impale.

Good of you to mention General's Cry, because that build is not only the greatest of baits on PoB, 2x damage is pitiful.

The joke of it all is that this league was supposed to not affect any build, and there you are, "specifically build around it to take full advantage of it". That's horse shit. Those convert lines benefit literally NO ONE, it only fucks up physical builds.

It has to be changed.

Idk what you're talking about but gen cry bfurry is super strong.

The damage calculation is incorrect on pob but it still annihilates all bosses. Its at least able to be calculated properly using attack speed.

Gen cry shield crush is a bit lackluster since the loss of easy 1/1 necks. but its still pretty good. if you could use 2 of the crit multi jewels it might be alright but to be tanky and do damage is way to much work.

not to be mean but please don't talk if you don't understand what you a re saying, thank you.

at the current point hh is either unusable or weaker for any non-elemental build. it is not about "building around it" it's about ggg not thinking things through.

EVERY SINGLE physical based build loses all their aura benefits currently, pride does not give u damage anymore, war banner, dread banner, flesh and stone, vulnerability and elder helmet mod are the most important examles.

every single physical based poison build is destroyed.

bleed builds can't even kill anything with hh.

this is not about "building about it" it is a simple fix. just remove monster conversions it's pointless ANYWAY.

I mean, not much has changed. HH has always been a must have, and everyone builds dreaming of getting one in the league, so nothing new. I would say this is a terrible and counter-philosophical design in a game where the premise is diversity.

People do not understand that the existence of this belt causes more problems than it solves. The community cry for the return of HH has implicitly stuck us back in the mud, where defenses and DPS are mediocre in many builds because, with HH, all these "holes" can be closed.

HH is a chase item and its ok to be powerful.
This needs to be fixed
