How so with the barely? The f is your other helmet got? The passive 20% dr and skills alone makes it worth to almost everyone. For me it would be absurd… thats skill points in puncture, barrage, dusk shroud (which means more DR for me), shadow step, poison imbue, shadow imbue and frost imbue (Yes that is 7 abilities). Its absolutely absurd for rogues… lol
You can get skills,Dr,hp on any helm lol not sure why you think it’s so amazing. I’ll stand by it barely gets by

nice job switching the narrative.
“the shako just sucks”
everyone proves you wrong
“nah it doesnt suck, it just doesnt get me excited”
wow bro. you are really moving them goalposts. jesus.
Will I disagree that the item is trash, I do agree with this point. I feel the same way about the majority of aspects and paragon nodes, i.e., “it’s just math”. Uniques would ideally be both a) the best math and b) something totally new and different; most fall short, to your point.
As said above. It isnt trash Per se, it just isnt for every build.
If your build thrives without it, awesome….but it has its place in certain builds.
Not 4 to ALL Skills though. For me that is is nearly 30% more damage than any other helm. And extra dr because of shroud.

I get it, op.
Sometimes we wake up like this.
all the hats are pretty nice. even godslayer is nice for builds that don’t zerk a lot. only place to go is up with a shako.
ARPGs are what they are because of power fantasy.
Lololololol
OP the failure

wait til we get leaderboards next season. it’s like the Olympics all over again!
I would trade my andys visage for a shako any day of the week
And i say this as someone who mains a poison rogue
I thought the same of Temerit pants when I saw my attack power and armor stat decrease. Then I used it and saw quickly why it’s so popular with blood builds. Constant barrier more than makes up for any small stat loss.
I want the helm where I don’t have to make that tradeoff and all Andy + Shako stats are one item…you know, power game and all. Blacksmith should be able to craft it if you are able to find both!
If I had a shako I would drop 4 points off of every skill I currently have and invest into every single passive I could. I don’t take a lot of them because on Barb they are mostly conditional, but keeping the same skill damage output and the same utility skills while having it all be unaffected? Suddenly they become a lot more useful. I could gain so much damage reduction while x and damage/critical chance increased while x.
Edit: Right now I only take passives that I’m already constantly in that state, like multiplicable damage while fortified because my build reaches max fortify in 2 seconds flat and stays there. Or while beserking because my beserk uptime is near 100%.

I mean, I don’t got a Shako man, I can’t be one of the elite Shako owning flybois 
this means it’s gotta be bad right? (Convinces self that Shako is terrible and doesn’t do useful things for certain build types).
Pretty much the story of the week hey

This is true. I didnt say that in my original post. No need to be so worked up about it
I dig real world items.

what makes it strong is being able to shave off extra points from 1pt wonders and maybe main skills as much as your willing to trade…and reinvest into passives. so it is actually build changing…but yeah like you said it would be cooler if the ubers enabled some crazy play style
or something. still wish i had one
I legitimately feel like I’m in the Sped Room.
