Unique Rebalance for The Awakening

As well as adding more uniques at a single time than we've ever done before, in preparation for the launch of The Awakening, our design team has gone through every unique in the game. They've taken a careful look at where each one stands among other items and whether it properly fulfills its role.

In a game that has grown as much as Path of Exile has over the past few years, it's expected that not every item holds up as well as it once did. Where we found that to be true, we made changes. Please note that, unless otherwise stated, these changes will only occur upon divining an existing item, or upon picking up a new one as of the launch of The Awakening. Here's a complete list of changes we're making to existing unique items:
