If you're going to copy Headhunter from PoE at least do it properly
I appreciate the quick nod to Path of Exile's Headhunter in the form of the item Wake of Vultures. It looks the same, does the same, so it basically is the same.

Except that it doesn't work. It doesn't give you the power of the opponent. It just changes half your health into a terrible version of Path of Exile's Energy Shield (takes far too long to start regenerating) every time you kill a mob with it, instead of adding it on top of your already existing health pool. To add insult to injury, you don't gain the energy shield instantly upon killing an enemy, effectively losing 50% of your health until you regenerate it. Additionally, you don't gain the health back when the effect runs out, meaning that you are on half health until you have regenerated or leeched it back again.

All in all, this item belongs to Lunar Coin-only territory, or not in the game at all in its current form. It's a noob-trap that ruins a run then reminds you never to loot it again, like most Lunar Coin items, except that this one is a basic legendary drop instead.
