Whats the Purpose of Garbage Uniques?

I really don't get it, other than to make you cry a little inside every time you roll one.


Kind of like these gems:


Who would use Karui Chopper when you have Marohi Erqi?
Who would use Shavronne's Pace when you have Rainbowstrides?
Who would use that awful Evasion armor?

For a lvl25 Foxshade is an amazing item, giving good EVA and a HUGE!!!! dps boost for physical characters, as well as movement speed which is awesome for quicker leveling.

You are comparing low lvl uniques to high-end endgame uniques... Did you just wake up with the need to prance around and complain?

first, not everyone can afford marohi, and for a few chaos the chopper is pretty decent,
second, shavronnes pace is amazing for leveling and its by far not garbage
third, for level 25, foxshade is just great

you just have to use your brain a bit before asking stupid questions, some of these uniques you posted are amazing for leveling

"

It is GGG's intention that each base item has at least one corresponding unique item

Who would use Lioneye´s when you can have a perfect rare? Better delete that bow!

@OP not the whole game is about endgame and not the whole game is about min-maxing. There are different playstyles and with these different playstyles you have different items. Why would you play maps for example when the game´s content is already finished? Some people like mindless grinding without story or quests and some like role-playing with their uniques that have stories behind them.

So why have I been unable to sell these awesome items for 3 months at rock bottom prices?

They're worthless vendor trash.

Would be more interesting if there was not just one useful unique and all other useless.

Lol? So, everyone who has a karui chopper has a marohi.

Everyone with a shavronnes pace has a pair of rainbowstrides

And anyone lvling can benefit from "that awful evasion armor"

Try again dude. Your points are completely invalid

The game really can't be designed on the assumption that you have access to every item. It's the player's interpretation that certain items are "garbage" and other items are clearly better.

If it bothers you that items are no longer interesting, I suggest playing self found on a different mode than you're used to. Play six characters, and allow only items found by those six to be used within the group. I assure you that items become more interesting.

Limbspit - great leveling 2-h weapon. Shiversting - the same.
Last resort - absolutely BEST weapon for first 10 levels (at least). Also is used for low-life doublestrike builds.
Foxshade - incredible leveling chest, especially for facebreakers.
Shavrone's pace - excellent leveling boots if you decided to turn CI early (+35% MS - OMG!)
Infractem - i heard some builds use it.
Kaom's primacy - well, yes, kinda weak one... at that level, getting rare 2-hander with same or better DPS isnt a problem (Marohi is too rare, sorry), and it doesnt give some cool unique bonuses. Probably, it should be reworked.

Because they drop too often. Even the most useful item will be vendor crap, if it's drop rate is way too high. And crappy 1-25 lvl uniques drop quite often from endgame mobs. Their "white" conterparts drop extremely rarely, so why uniques should drop so often? I see no logic there.
