Is it just me or are the uniques mostly bad?

[Ja(c)kal]

Greetings,

so far, i have 140hrs logged in and I really haven't gotten any good uniques, around 12 or so drops and I can barely justify using only two, a shield (Doomgate) and a belt (Meginord's girdle)
I finished the 3 acts and started a new one in cruel and just got a lame arse quiver again (Blackgleam) that is a very low level item.

This feels like the launch of Diablo3 where pretty much every unique was absolutely atrocious.

Thoughts?

They are pretty bad. They are either defining your build or collecting dust in your stash.
My unique collection is a dust collecter for sure.

We only got low level weapons and armor bases ingame right now so most uniques should indeed be bad for lategame characters.

Uniques are for specific builds, usually. The end-game of PoE2 right now is getting perfect rares (yellows). If an unique happens to fit your build, cool. Other than that, to the stash they go.

Thanks for the replies. This is quite killing the incentive for me, I'd like the uniques to be actually be uniques and powerful, otherwise this will be just a D4 "unique spam" with different colors but with a very harsh drop rate.

This is an early access... We don't even have swords, axes, daggers, etc. I think it's pretty easy to understand that this will be improved in the future...

First PoE had ♥♥♥♥ legendary and if the current ones are not up to par the rest will not be. Majority of them will be trash.

Some are super strong even for 80ish.

This is not "first POE". We don't know what they are going to do, because it's still in an early stage of EA. They have tons of metrics to analyze and I'm pretty sure they are aware of legendary items popularity/lack of popularity.
Personally, I do use a legendary belt that makes my pots refill my life instantly on use.

They are very specific for sure, which is why it's worth it to keep them for your other characters that fit them better.

most mobs are all the same. Survivor games have better diversity in mobs

its not just the uniques the whole game is trash. max res with 4800 total life and mana MOM and still getting 3 shot by mobs on T15 maps LOL. games full of mobs that move at 800% move speed, insta zerg you and then attack every .05s and microstun you to death. also trials, LOL

ive never seen a worse game in my life

The kind of static drops that unique's are in these kinds of games are bad for the genre. It's much better to have this system of fluid yellows rather than everyone trying to be in the exact same set of gear. The genre definitely needs to move away from unique's as late game bis.

Sounds like a DPS issue
