I was wondering which stats will be changed when using a blessed orb on uniques?

For instance the new amulet:

Unavailable

Will all fixed stats be changed like life leach and + to all elemental resists or just the above one, + to all atributes?

I like to up the +14 to all atributes but certainly dont want to lower the other stats

Blessed orb only changes the value of intrinsic mods. In the case of an onyx amulet, that means only the +X to all stats above the separator line (would reroll +14 to something in +10-+20).

Items like Aurseize, Sadima's touch, Heatshiver, The Peregrine, and The Ignomon
just seem to bland or useless — too similar to a rare.

Yea but some of them are kinda special.

Ignomon: yea dunno what special about it but well its a unique at level 8 which gives pretty good evasion.
Sadima's touch: do not think any level 1 item can has 18 % quantity.
Peregrine: this one too dunno whats special maybe the mana leech?
Heatshiver : think head gets only + minion gem.
Aurseize: think it got high all resist and rarity for its level but not sure.

To my knowledge unarmed was never any of the above. It's damaged can still be increased by general melee physical damage and general elemental damage (not WED).

To Mark ad Covert, obviously unarmed wouldn't make much sense to be 2-handed, and I don't know for sure if it was officially 1-handed or not, But I was informed that shield charge used to work with it, and I know myself that it used to be considered dual wielding (which was cool). That's what I am mostly just talking about. I wouldn't think that it was direct balance fixing for unarmed (for obvious reasons), but still kinda unknown to me why it changed in general.

indeed! I've seen someone in chat say my unique sucks, which is fine. It's a bit niche, but I'm happy it's there. Especially since it caused a support gem to get created too :P

Which one's yours? Brightbeak?
I changed my mind about it, I think it's pretty reasonable now (although I still think all resistances wouldn't have hurt). I didn't think of all it's uses when I first thought and wrote about it.

I believe he's talking about Moonsorrow and the Blind support gem.

Both are awesome.

Edit: With the low level axe and the stealth boots, we have all 13 for this patch. No more uniques for now then?

By my count, Rime Gaze, Darkscorn, Sin Trek and Limbsplit bring the total up to 90 known uniques. There's still 1 left, and we still don't actually know anything about what Rime Gaze is only that it exists. Was the last one posted somewhere and I just missed it?

Maybe the last item is Demigod's Revenge? =P

I think the key mistake here is us giving it out as a prize for the event. Note that there were other prizes - up to $50 of microtransaction credit, demigod's revenges (probably worth 100x more than that Map), and 350 currency random items (also worth probably 30x more than the Map).

An honest mistake? Perhaps. Accidental or intentional 'slip'? We just don't know.

original facebreaker (actually a really old legacy one)

ignore the poison resist stats (gems)

The unique item GGG and I have been working on is almost complete. Those who like fire spells should keep an 'eye' out for it.

I may or may not be able to provide artwork for it soon. I think it looks great, but I am biased.

I didn't see this around yet:

when Act 3 releases and the leveling curve shifts, who knows whether a level 66 bow is the best available?

well past level 60 items don't really increase in DPS though, so unless they change that (by maybe adding items that go from level 70 to 80 being the ones who's DPS don't change) then anything aside from a new unique wouldn't really be any better.

You forget higher level affixes.

looks like that will be a standard for CI bow users
