Uniques are fine for leveling or getting thru hell for like 1-3 players for melees but once you get more players the dmg from unique items are not comparable to runewords
Death Web is not? or Stromlash is not? or Gryphon Eye is not?
yes please buff my edc (ethereal death cleaver for you d3 players) it needs to do even more damage please
also while we are at it can we give like 50% deadly strike to runemaster? bro its very underpowerd and need some buffs

why are unique weapons Meh???
Simple answer
1.10
made a cube recept to upgade ed% too , upgrade to elite and ed% will make unique great again
The problem is that itâs not really fun item hunting after a month because it just becomes rune hunting, and most items are useless. They really need to add a way to keep items useful throughout a season and a game.
Rune master? Oh itâs not eth? Garbage
Tyraels might? Oh itâs garbage.
Templars might? Oh itâs garbage.
Windforce? Oh itâs garbage.
Occy 3 weeks into the game? Garbage.
Grandfather? Charsi.
Reapers toll? Oh itâs not eth? Garbage.
The list goes onâŚ.
Having literally every unique you find besides 5 of them (and even those need awesome rolls) is not exciting game play.
Needs to be addressed. Corruption in PD2 was fun and interesting, but I would hope a multi-billion dollar company could come up with a way to implement a unique idea on their own. But at least corruption made finding a shako 3 months into a season actually exciting because you could roll a chance for another +1 to skills, or HELL even a cats eye ammy felt good to find 3 months into a season.

but classic players use rare weapons^^
Well, itâs an important life lesson that being unique does not equate to being good. Better to get a few dodgy-looking tattoos instead.

Well, yes, some rune words are OP, but many uniques can be best in slot. Some examples: unique caster weapons, unique helms, unique boots, unique gloves, unique belts, unique rings and ammys, a lot of mf/gold find gear, Windforce (itâs not âgarbageâ), Tomb Reaver, Reaperâs Toll, Stormlash, Stormshield, Vipermagi/Ormus for certain max FCR max damage sorcs, etc. Unique chest armors and melee weapons are what got the shaft, and they probably should be buffed or made more interesting to be competitive with the best rune words. A reasonable nerf to the top end rune words in these categories could also make things a bit more interesting.
They should also consider making caster staves viable, for once.
Because uniques used to be the end game loot and they were fairly easy to get
So they made even better items that were even harder to get.
Itâs a progression system
Now you have to find multiple ultra rare items to put in another items to make a better one.
Uniques are a stepping stone to the next best item.
This is a good thing
Rares and blues are still BiS in many cases and are 100% the most valuable items in the entire game at this time, especially for boots, belt and glove slots, but this also includes certain paladin shields, rings, amulets, helms w/ visionary mod+sockets, rare sorc orbs, rare necro shields, rare barb helms, magical/rare javelins, and more.
This is especially true for Pvp, which everyone seems to ignore. But even for PvM I find myself using a very nice rare tri-res boots that is way better than either war travs or sandstorms for my build.
IF you guys think rares/blues are totally valueless at this time then you simply donât know what youâre talking about.
A lot of uniques lose value because of the fact that they drop fairly often, shako and arachnids and occy for example. In softcore these items never leave the market either.
If you want that type of experience then try hardcore, items retain their value because of the fact that players are constantly dying. There is nothing that can be done about items losing value quickly, which is why we have ladder. Unless you want to make it so that shakos are as rare as a ber? But that wouldnât be fun for anyone.
Finding one item, compared to having to find X higher quality runes, and the weapon to put it in is why.
Uniques, minus a few that are very rare should be weaker.
Uniques in general are underused. People think Grief is the end all. Thatâs just following cookie cutter mentality, and not thinking passed your nose.
Blue items are STILL the best in show in a few cases. Ever bothered to actually look at what melee sins are capable of with them? Doubtful. The devs donât seem to know this.
Hell, they just outright destroyed one case by âfixingâ Vipers. Raise your hand if you even know why blueâs were best in show to walk for dkeys (not saying weapon here to be clear).
Yet, the same people crying about this kind of things are often exactly the same ones that cried relentlessly about Viper cloud.

Red hats trigger some people. Just donât make them red.
They are going to be golden 
you forgot this:
Required Level: 42
At level 42 the damage is fine. And there is the capacity to upgrade it to Elite.

Itâs hard to say which weapon is balanced and which isnât.
Most/all items are designed for a specific stage of the game. Early/mid items lose their relevance later, thatâs what they are supposed to do.
I think there should be a rare, a unqiue, a set and a runeword endgame alternative most of the times, with different strengths and weaknesses, depending on the build. I really donât like BiS items. There should always be a better option, depending on the situation and build. Sadly this isnât the case and some items donât really allow alternatives if you want to keep up with other players.
Yeah unique weapons are in exactly that spot. They canât compete with some stronger rares/runewords most of the time. Are they week though when you look at what they are capably of individually?
I do think they need to buff most Elite unique items. At least in the weapons department.
Thanks for reading,

unique
do u understand the meaning of unique?
uniquely weak
weak is a hidden spec to all unique weapon
if u want a weapon thatâs not weak, try a weapon thatâs not unique
