Post "useless" Uniques?

I could see Veil of the Night being used in very specific builds if they add more equipment like Immortal Flesh to the game. Remember, "Elemental Resistances are zero" is actually added elemental resistance if your character would otherwise have negative resistance.

I honestly have no idea why they ever made this. I can think of no use for it. Okay, maybe if I really wanted to go straight to CI at level 20 on a fire caster it might be good. One use. Otherwise I wouldn't even use it for leveling. Would have rather had another Lifesprig.

Bereks pass and cloak of flame. Its really easy to get ignited for the bonus as everyphsy crit taken causes burning.

Its actually not horrible cruel thru mid Merci because you can stack raw EHP to the point that nothing should kill you instead of trying to get resistances and its a lot easier and cheaper oto find rings for that. Although goldrim makes that not worth trying. Only need to put lightning res on for act bosses that can crit shock stack. The added bonus is element curses have no effect.

Glacial Cascade + 2 other supports as a poor man's Six link or as a second six link while still being able to use a shield. Summon Raging Spirit could also be ok.

i wish many useless uniques would be buffed, since they mostly were created in the very early days of poe when ther was no real meta and ppl didnt know which stats are very good

As the old saying goes, there are no useless uniques, only useless players.

was that right?

The problem here with all of you is that you look at a unique as a whole instead of assessing what you could be doing with the individual stats on each of them. You look at a unique and immediately dismiss it as shit without considering what could work with it, present or future.


Do you ever stop to consider that a unique that may appear to be shit now may not be so in the future when new uniques or mechanics come out that fundamentally changes how the unique is used?

This is such a load of bull. Why can't some fanboys just accept the fact that some uniques are just plain BAD. Take Terminus Est for example - the supporter who designed it went on record and said he had NO clue what he was doing when he designed it. Why are we going to pretend it's good or has some awesome niche-hipster use when it's just plain bad? Heatshiver is bad. Marlenes Fallacy is bad. You're bad. Start accepting these truths and your life will be a lot easier.

No you're right actually, every unique in this game is great because some day they might potentially add a mechanic that will make it good...pffftt
