Helmet of the Keeper

I contest that this helmet needs an upgrade based on the following:

In short: It is barely better than the helm from Fleshrotters, and is not as good as the helm from Taeshlin, which is an easier fight.

Here are the comparisons:

Fleshrotters:

Rotlinked Cowl
AC 25
10 str 14 agi 9 cha 125 hp 95 mana 9 MR 5 PR/DR/CR/FR

Taeshlin the Guardian

Barbute of Heavenly Raidance

Clicky: 25% overhaste, 5 hr reuse, outdoor only, lasts 30 seconds(?).

Theros of the Brand

Helmet of the Keeper
AC 22
Effect: Truesight (Worn)
11 str 11 dex 11 agi 135 hp 80 mana 10 MR
-1% aggression +1% crit strike
Rng Mnk Brd Rog Bst

The helmet comes from Theros of the Brand in Valor A, and he is arguably harder than Taeshlin. I include the Fleshrotters helm to show that Taeshlin's helm is in line with its predecessors (for tanks see the Bloody Helm of the Night from Agonzier). That is, the Taesh hat doesn't need a nerf, the Theros hat needs an upgrade; it should be slightly better than Taesh hat.

Initial Suggestion:

AC 30 160 hp +11 sta 100 mana +10 FR -2% aggression. Needs work?

Comments please.

edit: Added Truesight to Helm, forgot it was on there. It's interesting but not especially useful.

I'm pretty sure Theros shouldn't be harder than Taeshlin.

Well, he is. We did him today and he's easily harder than Taeshlin. We've done Taeshlin 5-6 times and Theros twice. If you want to talk about it in PMs I would gladly discuss it, just don't want to cause any disclosure of high end content on the forums.

Please do.


But yeah, this head slot definitely seems pretty weak. The crit strike and negative aggression are cute, but no way I would loot that for 10hp and those two upgrades. This does need work imo.
 
Could this be addressed? This helm is barely better than something from several tiers below (PoT) and not as good as a helm from an easier mob.

There hasn't been a real response yet.
 
I've talked to several people about this, and his difficulty is entirely perceived by the class makeup and strategy you use. For some raids, he's easier than Taeshlin.

Ok, but even given that, its still only a paltry upgrade from Fleshrotters helm, could it be given something interesting/unique to make it more worth upgrading from PoT hat?
