Uniques are bad

[Younguns 375]

New to POE, use to items like this being powerful and worth chasing but feel like these are just museum pieces in my unique stash. Is this how their suppose to be or will they be reworked?

Completely trash I don't even get to play the game everything dies in like 2 seconds 0/10. I mean they didn't just buff 59 uniques or anything in the lastest patch. Unsub I want my money back.

You choose 2 absolutely broken overpowered uniques to prove what point exactly? Almost every single unique is complete trash and boring. And the ones you mentioned need a serious nerf, not to mention are also boring.

Boring? Don't you mean you cannot obtain?

Plaguefinger is a nice one I picked up in the first week of launch. I need to upgrade it to newer stats, but the primary ability is still the same and makes any poison build much more fun.

I am sure what you are upset about is that you cannot get those uniques you want for your builds.

There is decent amount of good one for leving etc and decent good ones for endgame also.Just remember that they give chance shard when you disenchant them and 1 chance orb is like 4 exalte or so,Now next time you complain about no currency remember all the unique you left on the ground if you are one of those Clown player...

I agree, museum pieces this is funny but true.

I have no idea why games invest soooo much in making ragged armor, bronze rusty and so on armor visuals.
Then they invest so much in making a bunch of bad items, bad uniques.
Even at low levels I don't even use.

Imagine if they spent all that time, there is a ton, musuem worthy amount of uniques not using, imagine if they their time making worthwhile uniques.

But no, you just have everyone use the ice ring or 1 or 2 uniques because the rest 100+ are garbage, a non unique is better.

This game needs to work on middle to upper middle class items.
Seems to be like 90% garbage items 8% decent items and 2% good items.

It's good to have the best of the best uniques, but what about below the best of the best, its pretty much not existent. Talking lvl 30 and higher. Thats a lot of levels a lot of uniques, pretty much all garbage if they aint its literally one of the best of the best.
Theres no as one would say middle class uniques, worth enough to use and be excited about.

made new char as monk, pretty much only uniqe gear xcept 1 ring and neck, speed run through campaign a1-3 without dying once in what is one afternoon.

must be cuz items are so terrible and useless right ?

I mean u have staff that req 10 dex to equip, gives %dmg of str stats %atk speed of dex stats, what an awful thing ugh !

It's a shame they mostly suck because they look so cool.

[Danoobiel]

They suck ass, because the stats on them are terrible.

Unless you can base your whole build on one don't bother.

Unique items are not like rare items, that give you stat. They are part of someone elses build.
A lot of uniques are actually underrated, because popular streamer haven't used them yet, and some of them may be tweaked to give stranger effect indeed.
I made my build on my own, without guides, and use 2 unique which coste 1 exalted orb each

Do they add transmog? Because I agree

That's their purpose. Besides maybe a few exceptions they're for specific builds and not a universal upgrade. So they don't suck ass, they just don't fit your current build.

Same experience in D2, D3, D4, POE. I agree it's silly. If I take the rose tinted glasses off and really remember, each of these games was like this when playing through early in their lifespan.

I would rather see actual unique items but more of them make sense at map tier then have transmog. It's cool to see something and know it's what you're looking at. POE2 owns because they made sure all the character and ability animations line up and seeing a unique item that makes a unique effect and the two are necessarily correlated is good.

Unique doesn’t mean legendary.

Reading comprehension helps in this case.

[glitch]

Yes, astramentis is bad ;)

[Leon]

Same as Polcirkln ring which is critical for any cold monk for a high cost of 2ex you do need the hand of wisdom as well for the pricey sum of 1div but its worth it!

[r4diance]

unique bloat will be only larger, with various circulating viability of them throughout the patches and new builds emerging.
it is absolutely useless to add midrange stat sticks for noobs who think they can equip it if orange thingy dropped
