I think a lot of people missed the point of this expansion. And the original intention of unique items.
The whole "Make Rares Great Again" joke; the new base items with new implicits; Essence league.
GGG is taking a step away from making unique items BIS. They were never supposed to be BIS. Rare items were always supposed to be the go-to items for players that wanted to min-max characters to the extreme.
Most internally designed unique items have a downside to them. Maybe they have low health, or are missing it entirely. Maybe you sacrifice a slot for some interesting bonus that rares can't give.
That was the point of unique items. Build enabling toys.
Now, I know that hasn't always been the case (looking at you, Reach of the Council with your hilarious 20% slower proj "downside"), but the original intention is clear in a lot of their other uniques. Bones of Ullr was mentioned earlier. Great example - +minions for lack of defense. You can't get +minions on rares. It's a sacrifice.
These items are also a sacrifice. Or are there to provide interesting interactions rares cannot.
So why do I get the feeling everyone is looking at them as if they're a Nerf gun in a firearm store?
I understand most people wanted a big incentive to farm the guardians for phat loot. But remember each guardian has 2 unique items. We've only seen 1. No telling what the power level of the others are. In addition, the guardians are acting like the gates to the REAL loot explosion: The Shaper.
We have no idea what kind of goodies he will provide.
Agree! 100%
Sacrifice is one of the best issue used to take place in PoE.
My beloved Soul Mantle. Take one more totem - get ready for curse.
Tabula rasa - free 6L, no mods.
New ring for example - +1 proj = no resists.
It is also used to be in passives:
Chaos immunity = 1 life.
Instant leech = no regen.
I'll be glad to see new uniques come this way. We are fully tired from useless uniques which have NO unique mods and clone rares. We are tired from imba uniques. (P.s. I LOVE Reach!!!! Dont touch it mates!!!!)

nearly 400 dps 1 handed weapon with shock garanty (50% more damage) and free temp chain effect on hit is not insane....???
best joke of the day , i guess.
time to learn game mechanics , dude ..... the tool tip doesn't show everything.

The flavour text on Brain Rattler made me chuckle. Not as much as Dreadarc's, but it's close to an instant favourite.

sad that ring only for ES characters(cos +1 proj is nothing you need at least 2), they should add some life to it, a little bit, 40-60 maybe.

Meat Grinder is a 2h mace base.
But I guess it is too much to expect for people to know what melee item bases exists, seeing as it's a niche/underpowered archetype in this game.
As for the uniques, the amulet looks fun and the ring looks broken (Reach 2.0 thing).
