Adding the following helms to the OP:
Voice of Dreeg (Not a single forum build and only 2 forum posts even mention it)
https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/8130
TLDR: This item is just competing with so many better (set) items for these skills. Flat acid dmg wasted since it’s a caster helm. Honestly Z maybe rework for something crazy even if it doesn’t work. Like Acid Cadence, Acid blade-arc, Acid Savagery, etc. Maybe Acid righteous fervor. Too tired to think deeply about it but this item has no identity that isn’t better elsewhere.
Ravager’s Deathgaze (health edition) (Outcompeted by the other 2)
https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/8132
TLDR; I think you either crank the health up to 10%, or you replace it with total speed.
Okaloth’s Visage (Cool new item, RF side is good, reset could use some tinkering)
https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/12328
TLDR;Go retal to attack on fire strike please. Not those lame mods.
RTA sigil hasn’t seen use on it either. Maybe it’s too new and the community is just smaller now. Maybe the gear support just isn’t there. I wouldn’t be afraid to just put +1 demolitionist on this thing and nix the RTA sigil all together. Otherwise you could try bumping the %RTA on sigil up and entice people.
One must note that righteous fervor lets you hit many times a second while sigil relies on its tic rate. You might argue that sigil also has AoE but against priority targets you need big dmg numbers.
Wyrmbone Mask (It’s not as far off as people think)
https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/8129
TLDR; Please add chaos resist… and phys resist. Also +1 Inquisitor or soldier would go a long way.
The following link shows that the item isn’t too far off for tactician’s sake.
Interestingly, despite the electrocute it’s still used in spam forcewave. If the above buffs seem too much, the electrocute given to horn of gandarr can be higher. I’m not sure about the stun jacks thing panning out.
Soulare’s Helm (weird class combos, weakest EoR build)
https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/11735
TLDR; All I know for sure is that this helm craves pierce/chaos/acid resist. Picking any of these would help. It also needs attack speed without a doubt for Eye of Reckoning.
Maybe SOULblade should support aether eye of reckoning… cuz dark souls, soulare helm…
Right now people are using it as a templar lol: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/r2BzDdJ2
Don’t know if anyone else has feedback for this.
Mask of Infernal Truth (Craves OA)
https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/9145
TLDR; Even retaliation builds need OA, can swap it for the flat dmg which retal builds don’t need. The +2 Grenado can be +2 shattering blast would be better. And it would happily give up that 8% dodge for another resist.
Dawnshard Gaze (Just give it a small buff to see if people experiment with it?)
https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/11733
TLDR; If it was good the russians would probably have built something with it already.
Aegis of Menhir can afford more RTA from this item because without sets Aegis is not going to get spammy. Rune of Kalastor can get more than +1 projectile. Otherwise I can’t make heads or tails of this item so I’ll bite my tongue.
Whisperer of Secrets (needs feedback after a certain competing bleed set gets nerfed but this item probably sucks)
https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/9142
TLDR; it’s a one-trick pony non set helm for blade-arc of all things. It’s got tough competition and probably needs to have a second bleeding dynamic that doesn’t compete with a set just so it can have its own identity.
Maw of Despair (add necro skill mod, siphon souls or fire/aether RE?)
https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/9140
TLDR; I just have a hunch that a necro skill mod to go with a certain set would fit into the next patch well.
If you could turn back the agrivix nerf a bit that’d be great. Either way the variants using this helm could use a bump up. Also if you could make the battlemage side of this set, aka the soldier side, better that would be amazing because battlemages need all the help they can get still.
Dread-Mask of Gurgoth** (decent item, but could be more fun)
https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/9141
TLDR;It would be nice to see the stormbox side of this item dropped completely and double down on lightning mortars and totems.
The % dmg is abnormally low too. It’s the weaker of the two mortar builds by a decent amount and so adding lightning dmg to the mortars and dropping the stormbox line to give mortar and totem more support would make it even more of its own build definer.
Horns of Korvaak (Sad)
https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/12325
So far the only thing someone’s made with it is a meh DoT deceiver. Super sad for being the final boss legendary. The proc is cool I just wish this helm was more special.
Crown of the Revenant King (needs community feedback)
https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/11734
TLDR; Vit smite, needs feedback. Anyone?
Venomancer’s guile (check after 1.1.4 changes)
https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/8127
TLDR; maybe with bloody pox acid set change and amarastan crusher this will see use.
Eldritch Gaze (needs community feedback)
https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/9161
I’ve seen builds use this weirdly but NEVER for chaos blade arc. I think Chaos Blade Arc utterly flopped and the effort it’d take to make it good is not worth it. Vitality blade arc might have a better chance though!
Needs feedback after previous changes
Covenant of the Three (Doom bolt is still meh to main, needs community feedback)
https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/9162
TLDR; bis for a certain doom bolt build, but doom bolt as your main ability is still lacking. I don’t know if doom bolt ultimate ranks need more love or just its itemization.
Needs more feedback.
Follow this build: [1.1.3.1] [HC] Vitality Doom Bolt Sentinel [vids]
Abyssal Mask (bloody pox tier, more likely to be used for 1 point RR)
https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/9143
TLDR; It’s a bloody pox item… poor bloody pox
