UNIQUES ARE SAD...

Man there is no excitement in founding an unique item, they are always the same, all low level gear, I have the impression that their solo purpose is to level up alt characters.

Even the uniques that drop from bosses and used to be good, were nerfed and now worth nothing...

You can could on one hand the real good unique items...

Apart from the ONE good real unique stat that the uniques have, they dont have anywhere near the good stats roll that yellows have.

Thats sad.

At this point they could just make uniques be destroyed by another valuable currency that takes the actually unique modifier from the unique item and applies it to a rare item while replacing a random modifier on the target rare item. Would open up a lot of possibilities.

Currently, uniques even when they're good are barely good enough to even replace a mid-tier rare item on that slot. They are all worthless and even the couple uniques I'm using could easily be replaced by a cheap rare and it might actually be a better choice.

With the above we could use the unique itself if it has more than one interesting thing, or just place that unique thing on a better base, with other relevant modifiers. They could even make those mods have something bad about them to balance it... Like "Enemies in your presence have no elemental resistance. 30% less defenses (local)" taken from the body armour that has all 3 heralds.
