<DIV>I also use the Crown of X'haviz.  The +20 STR and INT is awesome.  Plus the range and pierce mods are work well for me too.  I always have a fabled daggar in my primary so I can take advantage of the INT AA line.  I raid mostly.</DIV>

I wear the cowl because even though the proc is crap, it's still a proc, and that's better than what the other hats have.I won't even roll on fabled hats until I see one with an offensive proc to replace the Cowl.<div></div>

[Deml]

I used the crown over the other 2 till I upgraded.

[Mronin]

I have yet to get the crown or hoolo's so right now I'm still using the cowl. Next stop is either hoolo's or crown though I'd prefer the crown to be able to sneak more INT into the mix. My next major upgrade will hopefully be the fearling head piece.

Where does the cowl of the pathfinder drop?

[Gareorn]

The final mob in Vault randomly drops a class hat.  You get a 1 in 24 chance that it'll be yours.  I've killed him several times and haven't seen it drop yet, but another Ranger in the guild got it on the first trip.  I've never seen him not drop a hat, so I think he always drops one.  For some reason I can't remember the mob's name.

I am currently using the Cowl. I have the Hoo hat quest done up to needing to kill Sothis, but my dying small casual guild doesnt have the power for such an event so I have to find a PU group at some point to wrap it up. I guess the difference in stats wasnt all that great to make it a priority. I do like the proc off the cowl (even if it is minor) vs the ability to summon a pet on the Hoo hat. The stat mods arent extremely different aside from the resists and bump in mit/hp/power. The only thing that has me swinging towards the Hoo hat is the +ranged/slashing so if/when I do eventually finish that quest I will wear it but for now the cowl will do.

I think the hooloh hat is better.  You can swap it out as needed for particular resists or more int.  The proc is a pretty dumb proc and not worth much IMO.  It's close, though, you could argue it either way.  The problem with the crown is you really don't get much besides int.
