unique items *no longer updated*

That and the ES boost is nice with it too

Just found these.

What's with all the crappy defensive stats on these unique items? Is there any of the armor that could possibly ever be useful for a melee?

Found this today.

The low base stats make some items very lackluster. Most people will probably change them after 5-10 levels, which is very fast at low levels! This is especially true with weapons, even if it can have any kind of extraordinary bonuses, if it has 7-12 damage, it's useful for what, 8 levels at best?

Second, the frequency of these dropping is much lower, since people spend less time killing on these levels.

I don't know the current design principles on uniques, but I give two of my ideas:

- It's likely we'll see much more uniques. If the low level uniques have simpler but still powerful bonuses, like rare items do, and the high level ones have the truly specialized mods, then both sides are happy. Lowbies get useful, powerful, "general spec" equipment, and the specialized items will be good for high level chars.
- Another solution is tiered uniques, where the same unique could spawn on different level items. This might water down the item system, and not fit the current design principles.

I'd also like to know, will these uniques get their own art in the game world too? I was disappointed to see that my bow still has a general look on my character.

Found these yesterday on my BowRauder.

Thanks for updates guys. Please post your uniques without gems socketed. This makes it easier for people to figure out item requirements and makes mousing over the items simpler and less cluttered.

I thought this was common knowledge but every base type will eventually have unique 2D and 3D art. There are actually small updates to this every patch. Unique items will also eventually have their own art. This is all very low priority stuff though so don't expect it anytime soon.

I know GGG wants to get at least one unique item for every base item type into the game quickly with the eventual goal of hundreds of unique items. Unlike in some other games, uniques in PoE are not intended as the final best end game items. They're intended to be useful for a variety of playstyles beginning at level 1. So yes, uniques with a low level base item type will have correspondingly low stats. That's not a problem. It just give the player more varied options as he levels his character through the content.

Need someone to post this item.

some uniques should be absolute best in some slots, but not in every slots. The best is to give variation on how to get best in slot items.
