Mageblood vs Flask w/instill orb "use when charges full" w/headhunter

Mageblood can cast unique flasks... vs Headhunter with auto flasks which can significantly boost dps. Which is better? I ran some map clear speed tests with another account my findings... Mageblood great for bosses not so much for mapping.


Edit: My apologies I forget mapping is not a thing anymore...

There is QoL on MB, there is the ability to use increased effectiveness on flasks, and then there is also the final slot, which you can use for Bottled Faith.

Having 20 different mods still trumps it.

Then why ask if you were already sold on HH?

Also MB "not being good for mapping" is a fairly amusing conclusion to come to.

Not for bossing.

I'll take MB over HH any day of the week, especially after 3.18 and 3.19
Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.

Headhunter is more volatile, and I can say more fun. You just ramp some AN mods and just become almost immortal with insane dps (just don't use brutallity support, because some mods convert your damage to elemental).

As for mageblood - this item has lower power sealing, but offers ease of itemization, and combined with melding/aegis aurora/high armour/some ES - makes you almost immortal. And that feels very good (for overkill you could use topaz/ruby/etc. for even less elemental dmg taken). It basically offers uou a gigatank possibility.
Oh and mageblood feels super good on bosses, since you never run out of flasks.

If someone would offer me to choose one of those 2 - I would pick mageblood. I can take one inspired learning for mapping with MB.
