Unique upgrade issues

based on the video shown

the "unique upgrade" only upgrades the base item. and not the stats

i feel this is something that should be addressed

some items will still be worthless because they are low level and simply have lower tiered mods

a base upgrade isn't going to make a weapon with only +15-25 added damage viable

something like
Daevata's Wind War Spear

would be an excellent unique spear for a twister build... and at level it is

but simply upping the base weapon isn't going to keep it usable when the only real damage modifier outside of its "unique effect" is Adds (10—15) to (21—26) Physical Damage



and then on the reverse side we get
Marohi Erqi Totemic Greatclub

because of the absurdly high 600-700% ED
upping the base will create crazy damage

while i do think upgrading unique is awesome and needed, i think each one needs to be upped and balanced individually. to maintain the same concept but be balanced for a lvl 80 gear piece

Wait till start and see exackly how it will work.

well if you to to the site they show you upping a unique weapon... and only the base changes none of the mods do. soo im going by what they have decided to show us.
i figured if they were going to change anything else they would at least done it for a single item for the demonstration of it
