You can equip your character with Vampire Gaze relatively early, and it has a medium Strength Requirement. Stock up on + Strength charms if you're a bit under: it's well worth it.
Adds 6-22 Cold Damage - 4 Second Duration
Cold damage is one of the more important elemental damages in Diablo 2, and almost all high-level players equip their characters with an item that provides cold damage.
The reason cold damage is so attractive is not due to its damage, but to its ability to slow down your enemies. Even though the cold duration is reduced by 75% in Hell Mode, this is still considered a very useful ability. If the monster you're fighting is slowed down for even 1 second, that's enough to give the edge for your party, either in attacking it, or hot footing it out of there!
15% Slower Stamina Drain
A good mod to have, but never essential. Keeps you running for a longer period, but really, at higher levels, you should not have an issue with this, and there are always Stamina potions lying around.
6-8% Life Stolen Per Hit
6-8% Mana Stolen Per Hit
This is one of the star powers of Vampire Gaze. While there are other helms and items in Diablo 2 that offer either Life or Mana leech, only a rare handful of items have both. The only other helmet to offer both Life and Mana leech is the unique exceptional casque, Stealskull, and its Life and Mana leech is only 5%.
Life and Mana leech are very important in Hell Mode; they keep you alive for longer, and anything that does that is always coveted by Diablo 2 players.
Damage Reduced By 15-20%
Vampire Gaze is one of the few items in the game that provides a % Physical damage resistance. The others are Shaftstop, String of Ears, Verdungo's cord, Harlequin Crest and Stormshield.
Many players try to put on at least one item that has % Physical damage resistance, for the very good reason that it reduces the damage received from successful attacks, and thus is conducive to the one of the most important goals for all Diablo 2 players (especially those that play in Hardcore mode): not dying.
Magic Damage Reduced By 10-15
Numerical magic damage reduction is available on quite a few items, but you would never have enough of them to give you any significant amount of damage resistance. Even if you did, doing so would jeopardize the damage output of your character.
Summary:
All in all, the Vampire Gaze is a quality pick helm for many players out there, and after looking at the stats and powers, it's not hard to see why when you look at its star powers: its Life/Mana Leech, Cold damage, and the % Physical Resistance.
