But don’t overestimate them. Remember they replace your EDL helm which is in itself an amazing piece of gear. Your EDL helm has high resists, including chaos resist. A mord helm may help you avoid receiving hits, or give you health, but an EDL helm gives armour and resistance.
An EDL rogue or ranger helm also does damage. A mordris helm takes this away. And of course an EDL helm gives skill points that are lost with a mordris helm.
So if you get a mordris helm - choose wisely. Some may not be the right fit for you and you give up a lot when wearing it. But the right one can be a game changer.
Note: Doch helms are better than all but the best mordris helms.
Mordris helms have negligible armour and resistance.
They give a bonus to one statistic (str,dex,vit,foc), or do direct elemental damage.
They add to two secondary statistics (attack, defence, health, or energy) and give bonuses to three evasions (physical, spell, movement, wounding, weakening).
There are three tiers, dark, shadow, void:
Dark | Shadow | Void | |
Statistic | 100 | 150 | 200 |
Attack/Defence | 600 | 800 | 1000 |
Health/Energy | 1000 | 1250 | 1500 |
Evasions | 600 | 800 | 1000 |
There are four damage helms - but check the variation in secondary statistics!
And for each primary stat there are three flavours of helm with different secondaries. The pattern is clear:
Type | Statistic | Att | Def | HP | En | Phy | Spe | Mov | Wou | Wea |
Sun | Damage (Heat) | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ||||
