Ever since I hit 100 I’ve continued to grind everyday to try and find some new unique items outside of the one’s I continue to find which is starting to get extremely boring. I have about 5 of the same unique weapons, and armor pieces and the grind is quickly going from having fun to just straight boring. And unless I’m missing something about how the drop system works, I am still getting Legendary items in the 600 item power… now sure how that’s possible but I really don’t want to lose interest in this game. Is there any info in changes to making it easier to find better gear?
For general uniques roll another class. Seriously.
For barb uniques…eh…why do you even want to find them? Also seriously.
My pre season barbarian never got the Unique amulet after 200 hours of grinding. Or the Fist of Fate. Considering how blizzard didn’t retroactively change all uniques affix after a patch, I say it’s a good idea to collect a few for future use. My 100,000 Steps still has “damge to stunned enemy” as an affix much better than movement speed.
Think ive gotten them all at least once since 1.1.1.
Temerity is REALLY GOOD lol.
Oath Breaker? I think its called is fun. Pretend you’re The Butcher
Rest kinda suck to be honest.
I can not believe they gave 100,000 steps a 30 second cooldown on stomp. What the hell are they so afraid of.

They afraid of players (specially barbarian players) having fun
OK I found one Ancient Oath that has a range of +7-9 steel grasp skill (777 power).
Another, with less power, only offering up +4-6 skills (795 power).
That sound fishy? The first I got post 1.1.1. The other 1.1.2.
Nah I found one that goes up to +9 after upgrades after patch. They can just roll differently.
As for how Unique drops work I have a headcanon theory that the game employs a smart loot system that throws a pool of Uniques at you repeatedly, until at least you give some of them a chance. I’ve been experimenting or even clowning around with various Uniques and randomly assembled builds in seasonal tunnels since the level of enemies there is so low, and for the past three days I’ve been consistently finding different Uniques (today I got a Ramaladni, which I already had 2 versions of, but this one is finally a 0.3 one so I’m gonna play around with it tomorrow).
I have zero clue if this is actually how Unique drops or drops in general work in this game, it might be equivalent to dancing to summon rain. But hey, if you want more Uniques, maybe give the ones you keep finding a shot and see if RNGesus will have mercy on you.
Legion and the World boss were tree events just now so I did two regular dungeons (world4 outside) and got 3 uniques in like 30 minutes. Maybe they drop more in regular land?
The unique’s cooldown is 30 seconds. Ground Stomp with 20% cooldown reduction is like 12 seconds cooldown. You can use two Ground Stomp before the unique cooldown is off. A lot of people don’t understand the unique cast “Ground Stomp.” Anything that triggers from using Ground Stomp is also trigger. Blizzard could of made the unique just give out Fury and stun all enemy around the player. Instead, they made it cast “Ground Stomp.”
It would make more sense if ground stomp was what triggered the earthquake procs. I’m sure they will make more things synergize with this in the future.
