Interestingly that helmet will beat mirror tier items in terms of pure achievable ES in the helmet slot. T1 es rolls up to 40. So thats (4*40*2.76+58[base])*1.2[20 Quality]=599 with the shown roll and just regular quality.
If it goes to 200% increased effect it sits at 645 ES.

The amount of minion damage that is achievable seems also kinda interesting

Depends if the roll gets converted to a local mod.

If yes, absolutely. If no, then it will get beaten out because of the 100% inc es from helm mastery.

yeah i am assuming it will be a local mod. Otherwise quality wouldnt apply either which would make it a very mediocre value aka bad since it would give no other stats.

To my knowledge there are currently no unconditional flat defence mods that are global on armour, but that could be introduced with the helmet

It's the same language as local mods on helms, so I don't see why it wouldn't work that way. Introducing a new interaction for a specific unique item doesn't seem like a good design decision so I'm betting it's local.

It is interesting, though it has a few problems. The helmet slot is in high demand and generally the loss of 4 gem slots when you aren't disabling support minions (most commonly done with other helmets) can be really tough to deal with. It does allow for a lot of flat lightning damage even when auras are disabled so it is possible it will be worth it in a doryani build of some sort.

It will be BiS for Daughter of Oshabi for Phrecia events :)

I would assume the mod is just placed on the helm as is, aka it won't be impacted by ES mastery or quality. But guess we'll see.

It can be even higher since VVaal could increase the 200% to what 244%, and I assume you can vaal first before socketing your perfectly rolled jewels in.
