Unique items feel very bad.

Agreed.


On my first character in POE2, I found a unique armor for warriors. I'm sorry that I don't recall what it did or its name, BUT I do remember that it had a downside: bleeding chance 25% if enemies hit you.

It was absolutely horrible. The bleeding completely drained my entire life globe as a Warrior!


Thank you for this post. This issue definitely needs to be addressed...

BUT DOES GGG EVEN READ THESE POSTS?

pay for and design one. u can have any unique u want. the game is not even out yet and people and the devs have to create them literally from scratch.

Bro, this is a feedback forum. The devs are paid to dev... You go pay to do work.

I would not say they are weak they are straight out worthless, even to pick up and vendor, unique sells for 1000g, and rare sells for 3000-4000 gold, why bother?

I am not sure what is the point of this game design, I am against even an idea of farming uniques for early game on other characters, but even overall it is just convulution of loot pool, and lack of interest towards unique drops.

So far I had more than 30 different uniques drops and none of them were worth more than 1ex.

If in endgame uniques were the best items, then everyone would end up with the same set of items. And then unique is no longer unique :)

We have a D4 example: uniques can't be mass-rolled into a build because they can't be aspected. However, they aren't at all "weak", and so there are builds that can use a few (rarely 2, even more rarely 3, almost never more than 3) uniques well into lategame.

It's not amazing, but it's still miles better than what we currently have in PoE2. Indeed there should be a power level deterrent for uniques, but currently it's way too much.

I've seen a lot of unique in map now...and yes it's really disapointed to see this kind of crap. If i go reroll i prefer to craft or buy rare item.
Last epoch have so far better itemisation now. Unique are not too much powerfull but there is at least for for each build.
I hope they will fix this big mistake!

I agree that most uniques feel very lackluster; make them better, like a best-in-slot, and only let us equip one at a time instead.

The Midnight Bargain needs to be buffed severely.

Uniques are probably the biggest letdown experience of the game. I have 3 tabs of worthless uniques, not even sure why I gather them. Every time I see the bronze pop-up, I hope that something good maybe this time, bot not, another fail.

I mean what the heck is with the uniques in this game? They are all low level eq with rubbish stats and can't even compare with decent rare gear. Many of them don't even have _unique_ abilities at all.

Oh and there is another thing i wanted to mention.

In PoE2 pretty much the only source of Elemental Resistances is gear, so the drawback of a unique item with low/no/negative resistances is much greater than in PoE1 where resistances can be easily fixed with your passive tree, jewels and auras.

Life even more, in PoE 1 a unique without life could be used by getting more life on the tree, now if you equip a unique you lose the life you cannot afford to lose, especially when you cant fix it in the tree and the items give way more life.

Like the title states the unique items in PoE2 feel very bad in my opinion.

Now very few uniqs. are at least decent. and partially the reason is that.
If you use them. in helm\gloves\boots.

You potentialy lose like 1000+ flat armour for example.
or 120+ hp. thats that price we pay now.
