This is the thing Adam Jackson said that they want to prevent (that’s why they are very careful in designing unique items so that early Uniques are trash) but with each addition of good uniques, wearing 6-7 uniques on a build is actually not that uncommon now.
Tibault’s is already BiS for the pants slot on a lot of builds, and if we get something like Tyraael’s Might for the chest piece, maybe only the gloves and one of the ring slot are reserved for Legendaries.
what build is sporting 6-7 uniques? i mean i have heard of stupid build sporting 5, but 6-7? also tibaults is extremely good this season due to metamorphosis. once season is done doubt many people are going to give up triple dr pants for tibaults when you cant proc it very often
and ? i consider that fun, you are equiping an item that you can target farm, that is changing the gameplay and its giving you a sense of progression, i see that as a good thing , not bad
I wear both Andy and Shako simultaneously plus a regular legendary helm. All simultanously. My uber uber unique chest affix lets me do this multiple stacks at a time.
@OP, I think most people want to wear them to wear them, but these characters at least the ones I see at the WB event are not the ones doing the real damage.
Even HOTA for bossing purposes I think Shako is not optimal and grandfather is not really needed, so really HOTA is lets say a 4 unique build? Tusk, Malignant, Temerity, and Ammy?
Big picture wise it is interesting the uniques they think woudl be broken (Temerity going to max life affix) versus the ones they are not worried about but are actually truely powerful (Tibaults). It sheds interesting light to how the items are designed. Probably on paper and less on game play.
Infinimist can take a lot of Uniques, for example:
You can safely take 6 from the list and have a good working build.
EDIT: I took a look at my HOTA Barb and she also wears a lot of Uniques:
5 for my Poison TB Rogue, but it could be 6 if we have Tyrael’s Might since the chest is for defensive purpose:
Just saw this from MacroBioBoi (8 Uniques). Not sure how effective it is since I haven’t tried it:

I run 4 myself with insatiable fury, tibaults, banished lords and hunters zenith on a build that is built around overpower. That leaves me with one defensive aspect only which is baked into shako if it ever drops. I do switch out my helmet now to godslayer for Ubers which means I’m losing DR but I can one shot or chunk down enough health to skip mechanics.
Next season will have even more uniques and a different set of OP combinations.
you sir are my hero. up until now i had yet to meet a person who used hunters zenith.
It comes with +4 ranks to quickshift which pushes that multiplier to 35x damage and also +3 ranks to heightened senses which is huge DR vs elites where you need it.
Shapeshifter pulverize build from Screamheart. Requires some management with your tibault pants and hitting storm strike between each pulverize. If you can manage your spirit properly you can even swap some points and get 4 sources of guaranteed overpower.
I’m over 2500% overpower and 350% critical with 60% critical strike chance. Pulverize is rank 16 with gear and aspects. It would go to rank 20 with shako. Atk power 21.6K armor 10K and life 19K.
5 glyphs at level 15 and a 6th at level 7 only. Still plenty of room to grow.
Well lets take a sorc
Shako
Selig
Oculus/spear
Ring
Tibults
Infinite
Esus

So we moved from people saying “we should be able to put some aspects on uniques because they are bad” to people saying “uniques are too strong”. Fun.
Uniques were always too strong, people just didnt have them
It’s fun indeed, since early uniques are (or were, since some have been reworked) bad but lately we’ve got strong non-uber uniques, not to mention that ubers are not out of reach now.
I run 2 on my stormclaw druid. Tibaults and the Staff of Crones (required for skillset) and I would drop Tibaults maybe if I found good DR pants which I just havent yet. Problem is Tibaults synergizes really good with metamorphosis for both damage and resource gen for certain builds. My stormclaw has bulwark up 100% so always unstoppable, not using tibaults for the damage increase during unstoppable would be rough. I also have shako and The uber staff and they are collecting dust. They just arent better than good affixes and build specific aspects on legendaries…imo
Don’t mind me, I’ll just whistling in the corner waiting for them to make Razorplate useable.
And Windforce. Frostburns could use love too
those are not the ones to wear for hota…
I wear harlequins crest, Tibaults, ring of red furor, would love to still get grandfather, doombringer and melted heart of selig. Currently wear another unique neck though.
For aboitoir of zir, i wont be needed tibaults.
Sorry, brain fart, yes Tibault over Temerity (obviously). Both start with T, lol.
In a WB once i saw a necro fully decked out, starless, doombringer, etc. But it was a humble HOTA barb with only Banished Lord that took out the WB in 10 seconds. The non-uniqued out Barb. Which I’m assuming was by design (less the grandfather RNG part) because the build maxed out using inner clam, earth striker, edgemasters, etc.
i am still missing some uniques but i 1shot everything 
They failed to prevent an unfinished, call it beta at best, release. This means we all get power creep for first year until they can sell to fanboys who buy out of the trash cans.
So, with the release we got, they are still just trying to finish their game lol. We won’t have a balanced system until after first expansion, at least.
uniques are nice… but, i really dont get why u must be decked in them.
you can just be as OP without them.
imagine a sorc, decked with raiment, TW, shako, u comprising so much from the lack of Total armor stat. can you clear T100 and lilith without those? easily, so why make yourself more squishy just so u can use uniques?
ofc we have yet to see if we really NEED these ubers come AOZ patch
Wont have a balanced game EVER. Because there is no such thing. And the pursuit of balance ALWAYS makes games worse.
