Essence Loki helmet is a lot better than the Swindle helmet.

Here is the reasoning:

- Essence helmet allows you to NOT use streamline and saves you a mod slot for something else. Why? Fleeting Expertise (60%) + Essence helmet (15%) gives you the max 75% power efficiency allowed by the game. Don't need streamline. Streamline is only needed if you use blind rage, but radial disarm is not used purely for damage purposes.

- Swindle helmet only gives you +3.0m range with both Overextended and Stretch equipped. You already have about 33.8m with both Overextended and Stretch. Is the +3.0m range worth it for 1 mod slot? No!

- If you use Essence helmet and streamline because you don't want to use Fleeting Expertise because of the -% on power duration, you'd still have 45% power efficiency.

Verdict:

The facts are above. You can use Swindle if you really want that little extra (and I mean very little) to maximize the range. However, there is no debate that Essence is the overall better since you can use ANY other mod you want if you don't use Swindle and use Essence, as it allows you to dump the streamline mod for something better.

Essence > Swindle helmet.
