Any class experiencing Fire Resist or wanting a swap helm for several fights may benefit from this Runeword. Barbarians and Druids may wish to make sure to put these in class-specific helms to enhance the overall stats.

Barbarians and Druids should, obviously, get the best three-socketed class helms they are able to acquire, using the best +Skill properties available.

Helms don't have issues with weight, which means you don't need to take Stamina loss into account. Some, however, will have rather hefty Strength requirements, with assorted versions from the Great Helm (Winged Helm, Spired Helm) getting the highest.

For people who want to balance Strength requirements using the best possible Defense rolls, choose Crowns (Grand Crown, Corona). In the Elite category, you may also shift to some Spired Helm if you possess the 192 Strength to handle it.

For players who don't invest heavily in Strength, your only Helm choice are Masks (Mask, Death Mask, Demonhead), because these are the only ones with low strength requirements and the required 3 sockets.
