I believe this thread is what we call sour grapes.
It truly isn’t. It’s more so disappointment with how un-exciting most prestigious items in the game are. Yes I trashed Shako for stats, but honestly, they are notthat impressive. Ok, 4 to every skill is good. But thats the only thing you got for top item in game?
What it does it makes you kill a bit quicker everything they are already killing lighting fast.
It’s just underwhelming effect on playstyle.
I would love if Uber Uniques are really really interesting and give you reason to put more fun hours in the game.
That’s the main point, I without Shako will lookthe same as you with Shako clearing NMD. You are just gonna do 12 secs faster this time. But does that really excite you that much? For a uber unique majority people spent over hundreds run at the boss for?
I just don’t see incentive to get it, aside to be like Ok I got the most prestigious item in the game, but that motive will never make want to grind all that.
They should be very very playstyle changing.
You already beat the whole content at super speed. You really need to beat it in 12 secs faster and are willing to grind dozens of hours for it? I dunno, to me, that’s not enough.
It’s only disappointing because the itemization sucks and the Devs brought back these legacy items in a lame attempt to capitalize on nostalgia.
Very true. You might say thats the deeper point of my post - bad itemziation . Therefore, it inflicts even the most sought items in the game. + no endgame and no challenging stuff enough that uver uniques would make it way more doable.
And also, not enough creative itemization. Let me experience new stuff happening on the screen or some new behaviours of my char when I get uberuniques. So at least there’s something more to look forward to instead 12 sec faster nmd 100 clear.
Like i came up with this on the spot, but for example if they added something like Leap doesnt have cooldown, and you can just jump around the map and dungeon and have some silly time with it. I would probably grind for it, just to experience that stuff. It’s so simple and games are playground for limitless imagination, but not this game I guess.

a handmade physical rendition of it should also be mailed to my address, and my future addresses at time of future arrival as soon as i log into diablo 4 even if i don’t own it
it should also make me take less damage irl and improve all of my skillsets by a factor of 4 as soon as i don it irl as well
Lol its that +4 to all skill what makes Shakko BIS

don’t feed the troll.
Guy compares stats on the single item to different slots. Do you think that that makes sense? Even without +4 to all skills.
With one slot you are getting dmg reduction, +4 skills, cooldown reduction, all stat, resource gen.
Someone tell this guy he can’t farm jester awards on this forum.
This comment made me lmao. Well played.

having rank 13 flurry and rapid fire is a huge damage boost to me. bigger than anything a different affix could add. so i will keep on with my harlequin and shadow grips
Congrats. You are clearing NMDs 12 seconds faster to level a glyph you are not even using. And that’s all you got with the most prestigious item in the game.
No new effects. No playstyle change. No new game experience.
Deep in the endgame where you beat everything lightning fast, your most sought item is going to give you drumrolls 0.1 secs faster mob pack clear.
You with Shako will kill Uber Lilith 2 seconds faster than me without Shako. What an amazing improvment to game experience. Much worth the grind.
I think it depends on build. I have a hard time giving up godslayer crown because of the pull and damage but I also don’t have shako, however I’m sure if I had it I’d prob white night the f out of it because it’s arpg and rare . There’s no real other ways to flex in game with meta builds just copied and pasted

I very much agree. It’s a flex and I understand that, to me, who cares, I’m playing bc I want to have fun not to flex on other people.
And sure that item will make you a bit more powrful. But in the context of the current state of the game, who cares about being 10% more powerful when everything already is dying to you in miliseconds.
What, you are gonna kill bloodseeker with one shot instead two?
Now, if there was content in the game where people are like I couldn’t do this content before I got my UberUnique, but now that I got is totally doable, I wouldn’t have anything to say.
But in context of the game right know, all that single percentage points gained in power just don’t matter. And if it don’t matter, wheres the incentive to grind so much for it?
Uber Uniques should be some crazy fun stuff that completely changes some aspecta of the game, somethinng crazy like Equping this Uber Unique chest gives you Inarious wings and you are no longer running but hovering over the ground, moving freely through packs of enemies and all types of obstacles, pressing evade button now gives you movement speed equivavelnt to horse gallop + amazing stats. So it is cosmetic, it is experience changing and it is powerful and fun.
I came up with this on spot, may not be that exciting for some, but something along those lines
Me too. Besides did you see my nice Brimstone Mount? 
Lol… I mean, obviously we all wanna look cooler and feel cooler than the next guy. But that will never be enough for me to grind dozens of hours for. Make me cooler and make my experience more fun and different/unique than past 150 hours of gameplay.
In the end, they arr called Uber Uniques …
so you went from
“shako sucks”
to
“it just doesnt get me excited”
and now
“itll make you powerful, but who cares?”
once again, people dont agree with you so you move those goalposts lmfao
good lord OP. what are you even doing right now? just… just let it die. you had a hot take that was just plain wrong and pretty idiotic and you are STILL in here dying on this hill that you keep moving. lmao jesus
I said it’s overrated. Not trash in vacuum, but in the context of the game.
It will give you 10% more clear speed/power over legendary aspect and good helm, in the endgame where everything already dies immediately. And that’s literally all you get. That’s why I said my helm is neck to neck with Shako, bc you are gonna clear nmd in 2 minutes and I will do it in 2 minutes and 15 seconds. Nothing “unique”. Who cares, not worth the grind.
And I didn’t say it will make you poweful. That means you are not powerful before it, I said it will make you more powrful, by 5-10% ? And that’s worth dozens if not hundreds hours of grind?
You are already God in this game, with or without Shako. So what is the actual reason to grind for it?
- I ended my post by saying it’s not a diss on just Shako but all Uber Uniques for how trash, underwhelming and unexciting they are.
Uberuniques are meant to be powerful equipment but not meant to be build gating otherwise the community would melt down in utter outrage. You look at shako and go “meh” is actually better than if there were an uber build locked behind it. There’s no shortage of people who would consider locking builds behind uber uniques as taking away content.
If Tempest Roar was an uber unique, the druid forums would be endlessly exploding with salty tears.
The resource % gain is huge for Barbs.
i’d still prefer POE’s HeadHunter belt (When you Kill a Rare monster, you gain its Modifiers for 60 seconds)
or
Mageblood belt (Magic Utility Flasks cannot be Used
Leftmost (2–4) Magic Utility Flasks constantly apply their Flask Effects to you
Magic Utility Flask Effects cannot be removed)
both offer insane effects.
the HH can make you busted if you can kill em fast enoguh you’ll have so many buffs.
mageblood makes ur flasks perm…dmg reduction, damage buff, magic find, armor, evasion, movement speed, phasing (lets you move through enemies), immunity to bleed, burning, poison, freezing, shock, +ele res, etc.
