Uniques/Head/The Long Stare

The Long Stare is a Demon Unique helm with no boss attached: it drops anywhere in Hell, most often from H10 up (rarer below that home difficulty, never above it), and nowhere else. Every copy is item level 110, and there 0.2% of what falls comes up Unique. It is built on Sovereign Owlcrest Helm — step 6 of the Owlcrest Helm line, item level 80 and up.

It always rolls the same numbers: +16% Critical Damage, +36 Ward, +327 Maximum Health, +21% Critical Damage, +42 Ward, +42% Spell Damage, +12% Critical Chance, +42% Affinity Resistance and +594 Maximum Health.

One Unique drop in 40 is a Mythical copy: the same item carrying 15–25% Mythical Energy that boosts every stat on it and can never be changed; the 15% floor is 10 times as common as the perfect 25%.

On top of that it carries The Long Stare — Your Main channels 4 more ticks per cast, each 25 Conduit held adds 4 points more, and you shrug off 20 more while channelling (channel abilities only).

“Blink and it stops. So don't.”
