Most uniques are not supposed to be gamebreakingly op. True, some of them are, but the point of uniques is to provide interesting build possibilities or to play with certain stats or game features in a fun sort of way. This sword definitely fits the bill, imo.

I'm well aware of the point of uniques.
This sword brings nothing to the table.
The mods are global so your other weapon will also get for example 75% increased physical damage if you use this sword with 3 red sockets.
So you can use Double strike and a powerfull one hander in oyur main hand (double strike only uses your main hand weapon, never the offhand) and than this sword in your offhand for all the bonus stats.

Even then, the bonus from the "one" sword, using 3 sockets is still quite paltry compared to other combos.
Even with duel weilding and 3 reds each, the sword only tops out at roughly 220 top end.
The attack speed is paltry and not so useful given the low amount of damage you would have using greens and not reds.
Most people have rare swords that are better than that.
Did the creator not do the math?
Or was it intentional to add a unique that is sub par compared to most weapons in the game?
Well yeah, if you can't think off the box it's clearly subpar.
Hint: I see at least one better use than double-wielding two 3R versions of this.
I'm completely thinking outside the box. That's all I ever do in this game.
Sounds like you're the one stuck in the cube, bro.
Yeah, I'm not sure how you find 10% additional blocking, 75% additional damage with weapons "paltry" for a Double Strike build. It pretty allows you to have the blocking of a real shield with 75% extra damage and the attack speed benefit from dual-wielding. I find it a pretty strong combo.
