unique items *no longer updated*

Yeah goldrim is definitely PoEs thinking cap, I got no idea what springleaf is meant to do. I think Laz needs to probably look at what people want but can't have, rather than what they can't have but could probably use for 5 levels on an obscure build. Compare quill rain to stormcloud, both low level, both gonna focus on elemental damage, only one is gonna be of use in later levels.

" springleaf grants hundreds of points of regen to your character at low life. It's a great secondary shield for tanks or a primary shield for low life builds or were you being sarcastic :3 |

Call me 'tarded or something, but I can't understand this unique/rare-discussion.
Unique Items need to be totally gameplay changing and I think they are in PoE (Look at D3, it's a shame that they are called 'unique'): 1. My first unique was a facebracker. I saw this item and wanted to build a char around it before all those imb0r-shit-OP-FB-Dafuqmapstomping-Guides came out. I found an item and I was forced to begin a new char. That's the best compliment a UnI can achieve imo. Like in D3 after U found an IK-Part. Now lvl 74, 8k dps, extremely fun. I use Girdle ofc, wich is another unique, that is USEFUL FOR A SPECIAL BUILD. Compare it to MTG. Sometimes u draw something nice and u will want to build a deck around it. That's what UnIs do same. 2. Righteous Fire. Those 'f***ing crappy' low lvl UnIs like Ambu's Charge or Springleaf made my lvl 78 Temp immortal (more or less fun Map-Running). And they recently released this n1 Shield, which I do not own yet. I addition to that the Saffell's Frame is another unique u can (needed to) combine with RF. 3. Dominating Blow with Chober Chaber. Extremely high +minion-life with MI and a lot of those 'crappy low lvl uniques aren't that crappy anymore. My Char is not in 'endgame' yet, but my friends told me about 'holy-shit-how-easy-are-maps-moments'... So for me those uniques gave me three totally different Chars, which I just started, because I found one or two uniques. My first Char is a totally dumb LS-Templar with high dps and survivability but nothing 'special'. Uniques make the Chars 'special' not a "Yay, I found a Ring with +70 life, my old had +60". That's D3, that's crap. I don't want to just sum up stats... I want therorycrafting, creative builds and totally different chars. I totally agree with the fact, that there are several uniques, thats DO NOT support any idea or creative process; just dumb stats or useless weapons. On the other hand u may need those boring Silverbranches (for example), if u find them early in HC or espcially in races. summa summarum: GGG, more Uniques like Facebreaker or Aegis Aurora pls. Playerbase, pls do not sell springleaf or bones of ullr for 1 alch. Think of a new build, start a new Char, have a new challange. (Who has more than one Char per class in D3...?) A romantic n00b |

" This is a crazy twink bow, better than quill rain and silverbranch. I could easily see using this all the way to death's harp, and death's harp + chain for quite a long time on a new character, if i planned on making any more bow users. |

" Totally agree. Some uniques are greatly undervalued. Play for fun, not just to get your dps as high as you can |
|
|
for the unique, does lvl count as a gem or item attribute, or does that just mean strength/dex/int?
|

" Nope. That would be op for lvl 28 duels. IGN: @GreenDude

Guys, End game items are rares not uniques. Uniques are for niche build around me builds like facebreakers or Shavronnes and for leveling. They never wanted uniques to be your top choice for engame builds. The fact that Koams is that is just a failure on there part not something to expect other uniques to be.

" Again, the assumption that anything other than low-mid twink or mad-build-enabling could only be a Kaoms like item. How is this stated so often? There is a massive void between them. Casually casual.

" It's just ONE kind of build, aka Low Life builds! Thinking cap was useable on every character because the 2 skill levels did something you couldn't reach with Int requirements due Class limits. Resists if you went 2h or bow. Comparing an item with universal use with an item for specific use is pointless. Goldrim comes the closest to Thinking Cap. Geoffri's is high level so it drops out. " Oh believe me I had bought like 30 charslots and had 24 high level characters if PoE in OB wouldn't be such a grinding hell. But drops are crap and leveling takes forever even in same level areas it takes 1h to make a level at some point in merciless. Terrible Drop Rates and unfluent progression make high level content for me a no go. " Revisit end of A2 and beginning of A3 again and read those words: "Resists Elemental" or "Resists Lightning" everybody will throw it away for a decent Recursive/Bone Bow. " What by switching in and out? Sorry but I found better weapons in cruel and rare mobs didn't go down fast. It rather sounds like Laz defending his creations. What PoE needs are items like headstriker in D2 an Item not too powerful but it gets better over time and on par with average weapons endgame. |
