Post "useless" Uniques?

Marlenes Fallacy amulet.

Good luck.

There seems to be a belief that a character has to use a certain item all the time for it to be useful. That's silly. Some items have very specialized uses.

I actually met someone buying a Max roll one for an exalt o-o I offered mine which had a very high roll but he declined it. So is there a legacy version or season reward one thats a bit better?

Can't play on hardcore, I tend to lose my focus and just stand in front of enemies from time to time xD

If a unique is only used for very very specialized builds and even then its not very good then that is pretty close to useless.

Some people refer to leveling uniques as useless which of course isn't true. They are just useful for a short amount of time and only to people who are actually leveling. They look useless to people who are only playing end game content.

Eye of Chaluya shines the most for CI builds. Stun is still based off the life before it's dropped to 1, in which you wouldn't be increasing at all because you're going to be pure ES. Even with 50% stun avoidance of energy shield, it's still easy to get stun locked, this removes the problem while letting you stay close to the CI side of the tree, which is opposite of unwavering stance.

Ondar's is actually good for leveling a new character. Together with...

... thousand ribbons and silverbranch and split arrow or rain of arrows (silverbranch supports rain of arrow's mana cost due to 10 mana per kill) you can go through act 1 and 2 normal without assigning any passives (which means they are good for leveling characters who will eventually work in the late game). Thousand ribbons lowers cast speed and adds elemental damage to attacks so it's more ideal for a bow than it is a caster, despite being energy shield based. It's easy to stay at full life when you 1-2 shot things from a range, thus getting the 30% attack boost from ondar's.

Heatshiver, if you have the resistances for it, is actually a great low level helm. It was much more usable when str/int hybrid shields gave higher resistances, but it is a low level source of +1 level which is great for spells and traps. I used this item on a trapper who needed the mana regen too for some time. Eventually replaced, but good for the level.

Lack of late game viability does not necessarily mean it's useless. Their use just runs out after you have access to higher level items.
