Helmet advice...

Okay so my barb has some pretty good gears and I can stash some of it...

Here is my question.

Currently I'm using the Lion's Spirit. (+.2m/s 3 str 4 dex) +5 w/4 Immc. Cit.

Now should I give up the extra 42 dex for a
Forrest Wisdom (Gold G14) +12 w/3 +10 vit stones and 1 saph gem.
(3000+ hp)
Or

Get a warsould help and give up 13 dex for +1 crit

Or

Keep my current helm

Any input is greatly appreciated. b:victory

    Edit: saw your name and thought this was the barb forums so I gave my advice for a barb.

    Okay, the best option is Warsoul till 100, then get G15 Lunar Nirvana to go with pants and restat from 117 str for warsoul helm down to 104 for G15 vana helm. But that's the most expensive route. Your helm will work fine until you can replace it.

    The reason I'd avoid Forest Helm... 146 str req. Lots of hp is nice but you'd be giving up 42 dex just in stat distribution(2 crit% and 28% weapon multiplier, as well as evasion.) Compared to warsoul, which gives another crit % its mediocre. Compared to G15 its actually 52 dex, 1 crit%, and it the LA vana refines the same as HA vana/forest helm.

    Because I spent a while leveling my sin 95-100 and then farmed my helm with that sin I actually statted for my BM's HA helm. There were a few reason I did this. Mostly because I planned on using my BM's deicides level 95-99 and statted the strength for that. It also gave me 1200 hp and 1600hp barb buffed. I'd say it was worth it, despite costing 4-5 mil to restat out, because I was much more survivable with it even though my dd was lower.

    If you have the coin to get an LA helm quicker though, which I suspect you do since cannies are still pretty low post 2x, then I'd suggest just aim for that and don't stat strength because of restat cost.

    What do you think is the best helm if you can't afford a warsoul? I see alot using helm of aqua vish about the only piece of gear I need to upgrade lol.

    If you're 100 and can't afford a Warsoul helm you probably should stop playing. Warsoul of Earth is the second cheapest piece of gear after TT99 wrists.

    I would get a Warsoul of Earth and put getting a G15 helm on the back burner unless you can just throw money at the game. Myriad Blossom only gives more hp than Warsoul Helm at +12 and then it is only 25 more. You can probably buy a Warsoul Helm and +10 it for around the same price as getting a G15 helm without any refines. Then you can work toward other gears then try to sell your warsoul helm once you are ready to get a nirvy helm.

    Um... yes it would.

    The transfers for when you make Nirvana armor is much, much cheaper than when trying to transfer outside of that process. And besides, even when making Nirvana, the +12 Refine would cost 400, 600 or 1000 Chienkuns to transfer, depending on whether it's Recast, Quench or both.

    For example, transferring +6 from my Helm to my leggings would cost me 80 Chienkuns.
