Pool of the item type from the game files, version 2.8.0. Skill damage bonuses only carry weight for their class. All properties of this slot

The hunter Gunes would never reveal the origins of this helmet. Some say it contained the essences of demons who had suffered his vengeance. They also claim it was the cause of his downfall.

Vengeance With Built-in Protection

This helm permanently grants 'Vengeance' for the Demon Hunter the effect of the 'Dark Heart' rune, without you having to choose that rune yourself. This combines the offensive nature of Vengeance with an additional damage reduction effect – you become considerably more resilient while the skill is active.

The real value lies in the flexibility: because the rune effect is locked onto the helm, you can pick a different Vengeance rune for extra utility and still take the defensive bonus along. That makes Visage of Gunes a strong survival item for Vengeance-centered builds. Tip: Keep Vengeance active as continuously as possible so the built-in protective effect is reliably available in dangerous situations.

How often the protection actually applies

According to the tooltip, Dark Heart reduces all damage taken by 50% while Vengeance is active. Vengeance lasts 20 seconds on a 90 second cooldown. Without Cooldown Reduction, the protection is therefore only available part of the time; every bit of reduction makes the helm more valuable. The power has no roll range and only works for the Demon Hunter, though the helm itself is not class-restricted.

Which rune you can now pick freely

With Dark Heart already in the helm, you pick a different rune:

  • Seethe grants 10 Hatred per second while Vengeance is running.
  • Side Cannons turns the cannons into stronger guns dealing 225% weapon damage that heal you for 3.0% of maximum Life per hit.
  • From the Shadows calls allies instead of rockets, dealing 120% as Cold and freezing enemies for 3 seconds.
  • Personal Mortar fires 2 grenades per attack for 150% Fire damage each at enemies outside melee range.

Stats and background

A socket is fixed; on top comes Strength, Dexterity or Intelligence at 626 to 750 points - for a Demon Hunter, Dexterity counts. Also look for Critical Hit Chance, Vitality and a resistance such as Poison Resistance. The helm is often combined with Mantle of Channeling, The Ess of Johan, Cindercoat, Hellcat Waistguard, Stone Gauntlets and Lacuni Prowlers. According to the flavor text, the hunter Gunes never revealed where the helm came from; some say it held the essences of demons who suffered his vengeance - and that it caused his downfall.
