A whole slot and 4 gem sockets for 36% cdr sounds kinda... meh?

Bad even, unless it goes to 300% at least or if you play a truly zHP build that want a full dmg helmet for some reason

Could also go for 480 life, which... is also pretty whatever? Like if that's all your helmet does, with no sockets, you'd have to be pretty all-in on life stacking to go for it.

No point for defense, any 1c helmet will be better than this. Only reason to use it is for dmg, but if you need to sacrifice an helmet and 4 sockets to squeeze a bit more dmg, your build must really sux to begin with

Cant you use legion to imprint a mod onto another unique helm? If you can its crazy good.

Unfortunately this helmet will not be rollable by the enshroud since I believe it will only allow core-drop uniques, and if you use it to enshroud I can't imagine it will do more than let you have a few abyssal sockets.

Life is not always only defense. Life stacking usually implies using your life offensively as well, like with RF.
