unique items *no longer updated*

Are there any offhand/shield uniques? I highly doubt it considering there hasn't been any found yet out of 40+ items...

Thanks Rollo

Nope. If you want the list of undiscovered items, just look here: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/18571/page/1

Thanks IMD. Haha, I've been trying to roll one of those with Orbs of Chance for a few days now. That and the Regal Greaves.

The uniques so far have been incredibly disappointing :(

The one exception perhaps being the +1000 hp chest, which I'm sure can be used for some pretty interesting builds.

I Dont know what ou expect but overall they are FAR BETTER designed that low/mid range uniques in Diablo 2/Titan Quest.

Also we dont see any of the endgame uniqes yet and probably we dont see them soon.

BTW. The +1k HP chest is the worst unique from them. :) I hope that they dont cater more to this kind of cheap item design (one extremely OP modificator and one big drawback, dont mention thast unique with one mod = FAIL). Only build that you can do with this armor is:
"look i have 4 times Hp than you with 5 times more HP regen - im immortal lol".

No, not really. Most of the uniques either straight up just gives a couple of mods, all of which can be found on rares and in higher quantities. Some gives an effect when low on life, all of which are to low ( 100% rarity when low on life is not enough to warrant the low life for example ). Others gives a keystone effect, none of the really good keystones have an item so far however, save for the ring which existed in the last patch that gives 1 extra curse.

The chest gives possibility of a huge trade off for glass canons, where you can more or less sacrifice the chest slot to more than double survivability.

maybe ask the devs about their plans on "endgame uniques" ;)

I don´t see this game beeing "get x in slot y and a in slot b" and be game over itemwise.

They want to give uniques some abilities/mods that can´t be obtained otherwise or you would have to spend passives for them ..

All "Endgame Uniques" will come with a drawback .. as they should not just be the one and only valid item for that equipment-slot.

You will not run arround with 10 uniques equipped (unless you are willing to use lower level ones) and have no negative effect at all.

Look at the weapons : a lvl 19 Mace with 200% ed is nice and no "drawback" there .. but don´t expect the same mods on a lvl 60 item showing up as an unique without a negative stat that may prevent you from using it or seeing it as "good".

Rares should have the chance to be the best item available in a given slot. Uniques may be nice but not beat them except for the stats that rares can´t provide with pre/suffixes.
This is closer to D2 classic where uniques and rarely setitem were used here and there but not in 80% of the slots in endgame.

That´s most likely why they did no things like" % quantity per charlevel" or "+% enhanced damage per charlevel". They scale too good and would be hard to "balance" unless you give them the same system as a malus like "-1 HP per charlevel" as a drawback....
