After season 10 ends, Bartuc will no longer drop Chaos Uniques. If that’s assumed, there will be no reason/point in spending 666 Aether fighting him over the Fel Council. Nobody cares about the legendaries that he drops.
How about this? Players want a balanced version of Chaos Uniques returned to the game. What if Blizzard implemented a new crafting system that is only made available after defeating Bartuc, Upon defeating him, a player will take any unique (non-mythic) item they have in their inventory, slam it in, and hit confirm (one unique per Bartuc kill). It converts the unique (with the same stats as before) into a completely different item slot, and not just armor, but rings, amulets, and weapons as well. The tag ‘Uniuqe’ will be converted to ‘Chaos’ and the color will change too, even the base transmog of the item.
More RNG = more balance. No +20% to maximum aspect roll. Bricking could happen, so don’t gamble away your only unique.
With this system, Bartuc can stay relevant, and D4 will have a new crafting system that promotes interesting mechanics/combinations with itemization.

Interesting idea. So basically RNG what slot it would turn into, but you only get 1 chance per kill of Bartuc. Making his fight relevant, and also allowing you to convert the hundreds of duplicate uniques.
So now let’s get into the nitty gritty. What happens when you put in let’s say an Ancestral version of a unique? Also what about the unique aspect itself? Would it just reroll these entirely or would it stay identical to when it dropped just in a different armor slot?
So for example a unique with the GA on Lucky Hit, and the unique aspect rolled 90% out of 100%. Would the conversion to Chaos keep those stats or just reroll it entirely?
Upon killing Bartuk, it shoul drop Bartuk spark. You shoul need 666 sparks as well as 666 copies of a particular legendary rune, 666 rare copies and 666 magic ones.
I agree, it should abe able to go into ANY slot.
You press “craft” and it’s random which slot you get and which affix is GA.
Edit: 4. This feature should be available only to holders of the 2nd (upcoming) expansion.
The roll of the unique would be the same, same GA, same stat ranges, and same Aspect value. There wouldn’t be a 20% increase from the max roll, allowing for this kind of power creep to persist past S10. The only thing that would materially change on the unique would be the item slot. One version of this implementation would be a random armor slot; another would be a random armor or jewelry slot. Allowing the uniques to reroll as weapon slots could complicate some things too far.
