Uniques suck.

Hokus Pocus Locus
Unique
Locus
73 damage
19% chance to spray shrapnel when it kills an enemy
Lightning field 2
Drain life 1
Dual focus 1
Item level 28(Req levle 22)

Just look at stats like this....i dont understand why anyone would want to buy it. Unique items should be holy shit wtf ownage, not crap like this.

[Wolfetone]

Aye, they have really fucked up on the idea of a unique item. Maybe those four star items they are holding back will be the real uniques rather then this crap we're getting now

[Sp3tSnAz]

Thing is that's a mid level unique... the mid level uniques in diablo 2 were a joke too...

I want to see the very end game uniqes b4 I decide whether they are crap or not.. however uniques shouldn't overpower everything else or they become the only viable weapons, rares should have the chance to be better if they get good stats...

However imo uniques should be just that and not have varying stats as they do atm...

[the_wolf]

Well, I guess a lot of us just ever come across the common uniques (Sydonai's Gears, Cat's Paw, World Chess Grandmaster etc) and are yet to find the, well, unique uniques.

I'm just curious though as of why there are no Epics at all. There are Epic mobs but no Epic gears. Hmm.. teaser?

[Sp3tSnAz]

Wats the difference between epic and unique?

Ive only played D2, so I have no idea what epics are or do...

[Question]

But uniques of the same level should have significantly better stats than anything rares/legendaries at the same level can offer. Otherwise theres no point to them being so hard to find.

[the_wolf]

I presume Epics are the 4-star gears. And frankly, the current Uniques are just as good as some supposedly Epic quality :rolleyes:. If I'm not mistaken, the Epic mobs in game are coloured as somewhere in between orange and yellow.

Then again, unless they decide to release the lame maximum attribute number that a gear can possesses, we won't see any screen-long list of unique attributes T_T.

Can't wait for the Sets.

[Lethlar]

Set items are the 4 star gear.

[HerrStoy]

Nono. The legendarys have X amount of properties that are completely random, except for the "unique" ones of course. They're all based on item level and random affixes. Uniques are usually the same, with little room for random difference.

Ugly people often look more unique than beautiful people like Derek Zoolander.

[the_wolf]

I always thought of sets as a whole different class.

[repero]

i think it could have been nice if they made uniques unique by getting more mod slots than other items... like if a leg sword maxed mod slot is 4 a unique would countain 5 or 6... just a thought.

[HerrStoy]

Well then you would make them... less unique. But the point isn't that a unique is a one of a kind. The point is that it has specific abilities and a slight room for random attributes. Which is nice, by all means, but the main thing is the number of affixes it has. Just saying. : )

[Alex]

Really funny name of it :)

[Question]

It still doesnt change the fact that the stats of it suck :(.

[Pernicious]

Be grateful. I've yet to find a unique.

Be grateful you are playing a retail version. Sure, the beta version has higher drops, but its not worth it.
