SV Helm ComparingFollow

So what will be better for an SV helm. I am currently using T4 helm, but I have the Stalkers Helm of the second sight.

T4 has 1 gem slot.
SHotSS has 3 gem slots and will have more agi than T4 when fully stocked.

So from an AGI stand point SHotSS is better, but is the trade off of +X AGI (less than 10 more AGI I belive) worth what I miss from the T4?

Thanks in advance... Much SV love... Darigraz.

If you gem the T4 helm with a 4 agi/4 hit orange gem, and a relentless earthstorm diamond, it gets up to 55 agility, plus the +3% crit damage which is HUGE when you're getting 1k+ crits on 30% of your shots.

If you gem the SHotSS with +8 agi gems and ignore the socket bonus, you also get 55 agility. I would say get the helm and spend the money on the meta gem.

I'm guessing if you're between the Second Sight and the T4, you're doing Karazhan regularly and just getting into 25-man content.

If you can, get into a points arena team and grab the Vengeful Gladiator's Chain Helm. With agility in the sockets, you get 53 AGI, plus you get the extra crit (which I hear SV hunters also like).

T4 > Stalker, by a lot.
Stalker really isnt that good because it misses out on a lot of Int and Stam as well as a meta gem.

The problem is, I am on full agi gems... Or at least ready too. That means the Agi meta gem won't give me any stats.

You could replace some of your yellow crit gems with the green crit/stam gems (Jagged Talasite). You'd only need two green gems to satisfy both the 2 yellow and 2 blue conditions of the 12 agi meta, and you wouldn't have to sacrifice any AGI to get there.

you could also replace two of your red gems with Shifting nightseye (agi/stam), I suggest that +6 agi on your chest, and the +16 AP on your gun. That'll give you the bonus.

replace the 2 +8crit gems with +8 hit (because you are still 40 hit from being capped), your bracers with +8Ap/2Mp5 and the gun gem with a green/blue gem to enable the meta-gem.
It will also improve your dps by quite a bit ;)
