yeah, i’m realy late to the party (people saying 99% already went home) and i’ve been only playing for 2/3 weeks
i’m currently doing endgame and starting to find unique items… i hardly even equip them. my “crafted” gear is far superior in every aspect of the item 
yesterday i found the windforce and was pretty excited… quickly upgraded and socketed it and went into a dungeon… it didn’t do much more (or less) then my legendary (wich had a better power on it → rapid fire ricochets 90%)
the only unique i know of (for the moment) that is actualy usefull is “Harlequin Crest” wich could as well be a myth.
is this the problem with itemization people are talking about? outside the min/max your gear grind i haven’t realy felt like normal items are realy a problem (it’s the actual rare items that are just bad)

Tempest Roar. Penitent Greaves. All other Uber Uniques?
Just as in any other game. You have some bad/useful/good/uber uniques.
Nothing new really. D4 did not invent this. It’s been like this for decades.
But overall itemization is something they are working on as game progresses.
Game is still fresh.

D2 uniques dropped almost out of the gate (and yes where trash by the midwaypoint) all the characters i have probably have 1 or 2 (maybe 3) non unique/set items
D3…
D4 unique are rare AF and often not worth using over just slapping a random legendary affix on a good rolled item.
only one i’m actualy looking forward too is “word of hakan” but then again… probably will try it for a dungeon or 2 and go back to the one i have now wich boosts pretty much everything (including the ultimate)
Tempest Roar → druid… i don’t play druid…
Penitent Greaves → i’ll give you that one but also i’m not playing a frost build at the moment so that will probably go into the stash and hope i don’t run out of space
all other uber uniques? have you found the “Harlequin Crest” THAT’s a unique item. the others are glorified legendaries wich you can’t even customize
I like frostburn gloves for some outside build frost damage on some builds i made.
just depends what build and how you build and more importantly wha t is working in the game, many things need fixing or are busted rn, imo, it will get better.
they pushed release and this is the result sadly.

yeah found a few but again, i’ll probably put them on an other build (the current gloves increase my poison build damage far more then them)
maybe the thing is that the current items i have are just better then the uniques currently in the game (outside the uber uniques) i went blind into the game, but after finding the windforce i looked at the other bows (non of the 3 i would use over the bows i can make with legendary aspects)
same for my amulet. when i heard about the “word of hakan” i wanted it… but then i found an amulet that boost pretty much a single imbue and with that all skills instead of my ultimate skill (wich i pretty much only use when everything else is on cooldown or through doors hehe)
and it’s only S1 
there probably will be more (and better) uniques in the future updates
The entire game design is bad. ‘Legendary’ items doesn’t feel legendary. It is just a 4 affix yellow with a small change to a skill, that is it. Legendary could have 5-8 affixes instead, some more randomness. I feel that just some uniques indeed feel unique. Some uniques feel like just another legendary, but if a predefined set of affixes pre-defined.
I enjoyed flamescar wand for incinerate, would be cool if the glyphs that support it worked and the passives.
Though one thing is in a messy fight the embers get lost and feels like a normal weapon,
gotta love that density change lol. but maybe they could stand out more idk.
