Am I seriously the only person who looks forwards to the day when every item base has 2 uniques associated with it?

Suggestion for GGG:
What if every unique was tied to a specific drop table limited mainly/especially by level?

all those pesky and selfish comments about low level uniques show that the early and midgame content is still too easy to master.
there were different times, we grinded fellshrine for days and fought and died horrible deaths in malstroem of chaos. and laughed and had fun because it was exciting. now the game is getting facerolled by the majority of builds to get to maps asap to get rich by trading endgame items to late starters and even "hardcore players" complain about too much damage in level 72 maps because they might die. omg, i really want my old game back.

Tough tradeoff. I do want people to die early and often in my heart of hearts, but I also want the new people who play 2.0 to stick around to get to maps.

Any arbitrary drop has a certain chance to be upgraded to magic, any drop that does has anohter chance to upgrade to rare, and any rare drop then has another chance to upgrade to unique. IIR increases the first chance - the chance an item will drop as (at least) magic. By doing so, this has a knock-on effect on the other rarities - if twice as many items drop as at least magic, and N% of magics upgrade again to rare, then, twice as many items will drop as rare, since the same n% is applied to a greater number, and the same again for uniqe.

Actually, it hasn't worked like that for some time. It currently rolls for Unique first, then if that fails, it rolls for Rare, then Magic, etc. +IIR is applied to every roll (with diminishing returns).

So how are currency drops factored into this? Does it roll it before the "is it unique/rare/magic roll first?

It rolls rarity first, because if it rolls Unique it handles that differently (not caring about base type). If it isn't Unique, then it rolls a random item "normally". If that item doesn't care about rarity (e.g. currency) then the rarity is ignored.

Don't want to sound grinch but... still no mid/end Physical 1h maces...

there are now plenty of low level 1h maces but mid/end maces are really lackluster

While Doryani's is used more by caster, it is a 300+pdps 1h mace. A lot of people forget that. It's about as end game as you can get for a 1h mace, especially with the synergy with HoA.
