Should I take the risk and buy Helmet Engrams until I get the one I want? (170 Motes of Light)

I really need the upgraded version of [b]Mask of The Third Man[/b] for the Hard Raid for my Hunter (I have the 1.0 version). Without it, Blink Strike is my only option regaining health, and a Titan's Blessing of Light. I do not have Red Death or the Suros Regime. I have 170 Motes of Light. Will decrypting the engram [b]through my Hunter[/b] have a better chance of yielding Mask of The Third Man? I don't want to end up with Titan or Warlock Helmets unless it is the Dire Skull of Ahamkara. EDIT #1 10.18 am (GMT)/5.18am (EST): I will try and post my results later when I get home. Its just past 10am where I'm from. EDIT #2 8.45pm (GMT)/3.45pm (EST): After the Nightfall and RNG shitting on me this week, (3 void shotguns), RNG pitied me and gave me Mask of the Third man on the first try!

  • Noooo! Save them for next IB so you can blow the whole stack for the "return to sender" perk on Timur's lash like I did. . . . Every time I look at that gun in vault I want to scrap it...

  • Ask your warlocks to create orbs out of the yellow knights (16 - 18 orbs) and then just use your super on one thrall. Blink Strike make me rage everytime because it isnt OHK on a stupid thrall. But with enough orbs its fine with super (Mask of 3rd man still better i know ;()

    I just got 2 Mask of 3d Man helmets in a row...but I run a Warlock. Bought a 3d engram and got Skullfort, a Titan helm. It's all random. Good luck...I hope the Gods of RNG are kind to you!

      I just got the upgraded 3rd man helmet, dismantled my old one. Go for it. I bought 3. Got 3rd man, obsidian, and apotheosis. Had 2 of them already. But worth it for the shards. Makes no difference which class you use to decrypt.

    • I had about 180 motes going for one helmet as well, didn't strike lucky and although the odds are against you, best of luck!

      I bought 3 and that was one of them. I'm a Titan and have all the titan helms. I got 1 warlock and 2 hunter helms. I like your chances

    • In my experience it makes no difference which character you decode from, I do all mine from my Warlock and have an almost exactly even split of class items. As for whether to bother? What else will you spend that many motes on?!

        • I too am wondering if decrypting them on different characters helps or not...
