Awesome as always. Would be interested in your take on pyroshock clasp. It seems a viable way to mitigate phys for evasion elemental chars outside of the classical ways of veiled modifiers/lightning coil/cloak of flame/eldritch implicits. Could be useful on some builds to make use of the free slots that creates in chest or helmet? Ty for your content, helped me to understand the game better

Fantastic series, honestly forgot that any of these existed (for good reason, most of them are vendor trash or serve a purpose only before endgame). Like the helmet doesn't even guarantee a chilled ground proc when hit, thats so bad. Actually thats why this unique is so bad: its only good traits require you to be standing still or getting hit. Very very bad in modern one shot poe

Loving this series, shows me so many of the unique items I have yet to get

70% of this video is talking about that shield 😂

Always hyped when you drop a new video, especially this series

Love your videos bro

Playing ruthless and learning about all these "forgotten" items helps a lot. Thank you!

forgotten? tons of people use this? you dont see any because they just replace it when they have better solutions, better gear and dont need a stat stick anymore. isnt that just the known meta with this item? its great to get right away and wear while you fix the rest of your gear, much like many other "non-unique" modifier uniques

Great video man 🙌

Great vid - loving the series

wonder if there's an lightning strike skill for aegis+helmet with guardian or necromancer to make use of algor mortis

Isn’t there an item or something that makes you act as stationary while you move?

Great video keep it up

These videos are perfect for someone like me who likes off meta builds but doesn't keep up with all of the unique changes (or skips a league now and then) lol

local mods are just extremely unclear at a glance. Looking at the mods I would assume the shield gives me -10 block chance, but it actually give +12 block.

Uniques nowadays tend to need to fulfill specific niche to see more uses in endgame given how crazy you can make a rare item for the slot. Should add another line that says all damage is taken as cold damage. Now it has a powerful niche and people will use it. Disregard melding, fire, lightning and chaos res, only stack cold and max cold, phys as cold. Balance it out with -3% max cold res, remove the armour and chilled ground thing.

Im doing much of what you said on one of my side projects on hcssf standard. Still missing melding. Tried posting a link to my profile but youtube is being ass. Will try pob link in the morning.

i used to use the hell out of this helm.

This is the first Forgotten Unique I'm going to track down and use. They synergy with all the items you mentioned makes it seem pretty bloody amazing.

Every time I watch a video by this channel I’m shocked by the production value and seemingly effortless scripting/ability to convey meaningful information. GGG should let you narrate the patch notes

wow i found this helmet this weekend in ssf and dint know how to use it but decided to keep it cause it felt good, glad i dint toss it away lol

a rare helmet is just better that all :/

Thanks for your time and imput its always appreciated

My favorite unique, i use one every league.

A huge buff to this item would be a rarity downgrade. If it was more accesable, it would be easier to get good corruptions on it and making it more valuable

Hey I was wondering if you could perhaps make a video (or a series) where you go through your thought process when creating a build. One thing I feel is lacking is ressources for people who would like to start creating their own builds instead of just following a guide to a T. Perhaps starting by skill choice, then explaining how to chose the ascendency, or simply how scale the build both offensively and defensively as to neither be dying all the time, nor dealing no damage ?

It's not forgotten. It's super expensive first 2 weeks of a league. I play mostly some strange self made templar builds nd i often go for it.

Brine king is OP during league start

I thought i know every unique, turns out not 😅

Its like a national geographic doc with PoE being the ecosystem so nice bell on tyvm keep up the outstanding job

Yes! More! Inject it straight into my veins!

Considering this helmet in a PoB for a character investing into arctic armour, with tempered by war full conversion. The other strong contender is crown of the inward eye.

Yo - just want to say I've been loving the forgotten unique series you've been doing! Always loved the unusual interactions on old uniques & am stoked to see some conversation stoked about them. Cheers!

Another one already ??? You are sick dude, mad respect for how frequent and high quality this content is! This series is going to make you my fav PoE youtube, for sure, and might be the best informational stuff out here, even surpassing sirgog for me. Keep up the great work!

This series just makes me sad. GGG just adds shit to the game and then never cares about it again. We care more about the gear than them. PoE 1 is just a massive case of neglect that's hard to ignore when the devs are too lazy to nerf DD properly while buffing other skills. I quit this game until they fix the bloat and stop balancing around Ben and Nick's opinion so they can cheese the next Gauntlet. This game became the most try-hard shit and it makes me scowl just thinking about it. "just ignore the community and play SSF." Sorry, I have a life.

I LOVE THIS SERIES BRO

Getting a lot of nostalgia from this series, appreciate the analysis!

Best PoE content we are getting so far! Thank you very much! Additionally I think this a example of a great unique that is not used because of the current game constraints, like needing to cap spell supression because of T17, lack of options for effective phys damage mitigation ( you always resort to phys mitigation with the crafted mods), and still have decent offensive power. The game difficulty increases while the items are getting left behind or nerfed and this breaks the build diversity.

i love this series, extemly in deepth and nerdy. <3

You answer your own question as to why this isnt used as much as it should be. Its T1 rarity. If it were Tier 3/4 it would be an easy SSF staple, but its simply too rare to happen across, and not build enabling enough to bother trying for with say Tainted Mythics. Also Gravecrafting.

This Helmet is so good for Casters, ngl.

I love this series

I love this series! Pretty nifty helmet actually, I never gave it a second look.

Great series! I have always been making my own builds (since like, when we had 2 acts), generally being inspired by whatever cool unique triggered me to build around it. It has failed me a lot of times but has given me loads of fun over the years. Still most of the unique items you discuss here I have not come across at all and these videos give me so many thoughts on stuff I would like to try out. Thank you! I look forward to more.

8:11 I think the main reason this item does not used often is mostly because rare helmet is just far better then most of the unique item is the item itself is not build defining, and on top of that, you can miss out up to 18% phy taken as other damage source mod witch is a very important and rare mod that are crucial to the build defense nowadays.

I love this series! Please, keep up the good work sir! 😊

this is insanely rare still missing in my ssf collection

hell yeah man I never forgot about this

I need a Flicker CoC build in my life.
