Apparently you don't play Ranger or Bow builds that actually use the Alphas Howl since its considered best in slot. But to avoid argument, yes it did have other non-itended usage but for bow builds alphas is the helm and required no switching.
it seems that i do play ranger (lvl 79 at this time, thank you) and consider this
to be much better for me.
if not for that exploit youd be probably the only one using this helm as (due to lack of life) it is a very risky choice for non-CI characters. in the future please avoid assessing my game experience as you clearly are not good at that
You just kill the Alpha Howl with no reason. I don't understand that.
No one will be buy this helmet more than 15 chaos. Strange decision like for me.
And ppl who talking about "I use the helm on my ranger, this is super BEST HELM for me" - you are guys just have no idea about this game.
Btw, if you do the same thing with Covenant - this is destroy some builds.
Well my low life melee templar has definitely been destroyed by this. I'll have to drop at least two auras now, possibly three. If I don't, chaos damage will completely and utterly rape me because my life pool will be sub 200 I'm guessing. And I most certainly can't drop any defensive auras right now, as I've been built entirely around them. So by dropping wrath and hatred, my tooltip dps will fall by at least 6k, and I won't be able to shock stack mobs anymore either. I guess it's time to cannibalize his gear then. Rip in piece flicker crit templar, you were one of the only fun characters I made in this cookie-cutter dominant game. I think I might just quit.
To those of you complaining. Why don't you complain that they buff the uniques you deem to be useless instead of asking that they leave in unintended exploits??
Also, I have no sympathy at all. You people decided to use the exploits and you really didn't have to.

Exactly, it is dumb changes like these that make some builds go from fun, to useless. I just don't get the thinking from GGG on this one. I don't call the switching of the items an abuse. it made some builds possible without really being too powerful.

That was i'm talking about.
This "change" just destroyed some interesting builds which were based on game mechanic.
This is not a "abuse exploit" because this is NOT EXPLOIT - this is game mechanic. Can't believe they want to destroy some part of the game.
