I may or may not participate myself, mostly just because I think it's a lot of fun to share ideas for interesting uniques (and boy do I have some ideas). For now, though, I just wanted to post to say... awesome idea! Kudos to you, man, FIFTH! Diamond Supporter Pack!? Lol, I'm still struggling with my frugal self to buy the $15 pack XD anyways, awesome thing you've got going here, hope you get some of the coolest damn unique ideas evar! Best of luck to all of the entrants ;)

I've been toying with this idea for a while, a weapon that takes both weapon swap slots and transforms into something more powerful once certain conditions are met. You cannot press X and swap between forms. . . (Snip)

I kind of think this particular idea should be adopted by GGG (competition aside) to be made into three unique variants, one for each type of charge. The idea of a transforming weapon set it pretty freakin sweet, and imo there should be more than one but in limited use.. Charges are a great way to make that happen! One thing I would change: "max charges" varies depending upon how many charge quantity passives one has allocated. I would make it so that it transforms on 5 or 6 charges, as that requires some interaction with passive build speccing (+1 charge from the unique, but also needs at least one or two charge quantity passives).

Mage Protector
Harmonic Spirit Shield

+40 To intelligence
+60% Increased spell damage
+20% To all resistances
20% Decreased Casting Speed
20% Decreased Attack Speed
60% Decreased total maximum energy shield (this bonus applys to your total energy shield after every other calculation)
All damage done to you is done to your mana first
For every % of your current mana over 50% of your current mana you get 1% Increased spell damage and 1% increased cast speed

Just a question about the mechanics of this one, if you gain an Endurance Charge on hit, wouldn't it be counter intuitive to put this on an evasion based character who tries not to get hit?

Just curious.

No, actually this is quite a cleverly designed unique. Balanced.. I don't know. But clever for sure. It pretty much resolves the "expertise required" drawbacks of an eva based defense. Change the eva per level to an above-average-but-not-god-mod eva rating, and use only the drawbacks to acrobatics, not the bonus (gut feelings tell me you still want to encourage some eva speccing), and this would be quite the addition to our unique pool.

Edit: and here is my first (totally serious) contribution:
Braveheart's Iron Ring of Kilts
+1-4 physical damage
Characters without pants gain manly kilts (even Witches)
Kilts are 200% more effective than pants

Edit 2: I honestly think GGG should add a few joke uniques with mods that don't actually do anything. Besides make players laugh, anyways ;)

I had my own go at a transforming weapon some posts ago in this thread, I'll link the picture again so you guys can see if you like it =)




Oh, and as a bonus... A new Unique I came up with =), for the loot mongers out there... It really fits the playstyle of some of my friends:




To activate the first bonus, you actually have to click on the currency item, as if you were going to pick it up.

The other two bonuses are pretty straight forward, and the life and mana loss one is designed so that the first one isn't exploited directly. However, there is nothing against creating your own interesting kiting strategies through dropping and picking up currency items. You could use them as health and mana reserves, too, for difficult battles.

I think this would give a lot of tools to play with, through relatively simple code (I assume)

Sorry if I missed it somewhere within the thread, but how are the 2nd and 3rd runners up (for avatar creation) selected?

From what I gather, a total of 12 uniques will be hand-picked. Of those 12, one will be (randomly) selected as the winner. Where do 2nd and 3rd place fit in?

The same way the winner gets selected .....

So runners up are also randomly selected?

Sybelle's Pantofle
- Dex shoes, about level 40.
- +80% increased evasion rating.
- Multiply evasion rating by run speed modifiers when not moving.
- Decreases enemy crit chance by run speed modifiers.
- +20% increased movement speed.
The first rule of pinaforte,
keep stepping.
