Tempered Helm should give +3 to strength, +5 to DR and inflict -5 to Deflection per kill for 20 sec. However, when Zahua kills somebody, helm gives absolutely nothing. There is no message in combat log that Zahua affected by helm, and might and DR do not change on character sheet. And for some reason these bonuses are always suppressed.

 

Here's autosave in 6-th level of Endless Path. Just let Zahua kill the skeleton fighter.

Hello Nicholas,

 

Welcome to the forums and thanks for joining us! I apologize for my late response, we have been super busy here. I investigated the issue more closely, it seems that any other accessories that give those bonuses will suppress the bonuses granted by the helm. I have written up a bug report and added it to our database.

 

Thank you for your support!

Yes, even the +5 DR will be suppressed by a Fine or Exceptional enchantment on your armor. The -5 Deflection worked though if I recall correctly. +3 shouldn't stack with other +MIG gear, but at least it shouldn't be suppressed by a +1 MIG helm or stuff like that. It should just override it.

Thanks for the update Boeroer, I will add that to the bug report

You're the best!

Tempered Helm's Deflection penalty is suppressed by any deflection boosting items.

Somewhat related issue with the mourning gloves, as the -1 resolve get surpressed by any +resolve gear. 

Hey illathid,

 

Thanks for pointing this out. I written up a bug for it!

 

Keep on rockin!

It also seems like the Tempered Helm bonuses to not stack with successive kills, as it seems like they should.  They *are* supposed to be cumulative, within the duration, right?

Hey WhiteKnighted,

 

It just refreshes the duration, its not suppose to have cumulative stacks. 

 

Thanks

This bug with the Tempered Helm is still there.  +3 might and other buffs are suppressed when they should not be.  very old bug, still here.

True.

 

Helm pretty difficult to make useful.

Not really. It has great defense buffs against mind control and paralyze and so on. Pretty useful. Just let go of your other MIG bonus gear and the helm also gives you +3 MIG on kill - which is the least useful enchantment of it, but since you insist

Actually one of the best helmets in the game.

It's actually broken, because it doesn't reduce your deflection if you have a deflection bonus on one of your items. So as long as you have that and no might gear you can stack up a lot. I don't use it because it's abusing a game bug.
