Guide Best Uniques To Look Out For

Hey I'm trying to compile a list of some of the best high level unique gears to look out for.

I've come across a lot of people looking for unique gear for their build, but unfortunately for them a lot of players usually toss out or vendor the unique gears to NPC. Perhaps if we make a list for people to be aware of maybe there might be more of the good ones circulating in the market?

_____________________________________________________________

Depending on feedbacks and if we can compile a bigger list I'll start organizing these better and with links, or even a short description. Also if you feel like there's a better unique than what I've listed or if it's not to par please drop some critique. Also if there's a recommendation please state why it is worthy to be on the list. LOWER LVL ITEMS CAN BE EXCEPTED if they provide good - best benefit for a particular build.

Note: what make a good unique is that they may have higher stat, or certain stat combination that make them an attractive item compare to a rare or even legendary. Some unique might be a BiS (best in slot, ex. best boot to wear) item for a particular build. For people running on a budget and can't afford the BiS item, a good unique might be a second or third best choice.

 

You put Medeis twice

 

Ty, edited

 

Heura doesn't deserve a place, there are better unique strength chestplates not to mention the much better rare strength chests.
You better not have put it there for the thorns

You're missing sano's care, one of the few high mana regen helm. Hero's end, pretty good ls/melee pants alternative that has no req and also doesn't have negative ws. Battleground dancer, it's an OK-ish attack tier boots but one of few.

 

Thanks for the recommendation!

I'm not even sure how good +attack speed is for melee build, but you're right there's not many out there.

And yea Heura is on there pretty much because of thorn :P
It's basically bad everywhere except for thorn build.

 

Siliquartz Blend is very good for spell builds, albeit you buy it from a merchant. Quartzite Helm is also very good for spell builds thanks to it's damage boosts.
Magical Loop is pretty nice as a water damage ring, but you get this from a merchant as well.
Fermion could be on this list, as the 3/4s mr and defenses can be nice for rainbow builds (the -stats aren't that noticeable).
Eidolon is pretty iffy, as it's one of the few good options for melee mage (along with Compiler, Gaia, The Lethe, Final Compulsion, etc.), but it has potential.
Diaminar can hold it's own in the fire melee warrior builds, typically having less survivability but more dps than ignition, while having more survivability and less dps than braker.
Errant can be a decent choice for air spell builds due to it's damage bonuses.
Lightning Edge is almost on par with Thrunda Ripsaw, and in some situations even better. Unfortunately, almost all thunder assassin weapons get overshadowed by infused hive.
Yang is a nice general boost for spell builds.
Vacuum is very nice for earth/water builds due to it's boosts in both damages and it's 3/4s mr.
Fehu is good substitute in either a lb or xp build, giving the second highest lb of any ring (excluding crafted items) and decently high xp bonus as well.

 

Myelin Myelin Myelin Myelin and Myelin

 

Blushwind? it's good for a ws especially if it is a good roll but anyway that goes for all items

 

Awesome list, thank you for the details as well.

Ty everyone for far for the recommendations.

Isn't there multiple other unique helmets in that level range that has higher WS?

 

Ehwaz is a nice low lvl unique ring for walkspeed. I'd say it's worth keeping, even if it might take some time to find a buyer.

 

you see, HEURA is a SSS tier unique because its focused on THORNS.

 

Look out for Reminder. Its a ring that gives up to a maximum of +8 intel. Not anything crazy but good on skill point tight builds and honestly pretty good for a ring, let alone a unique item.

 

Where is nebulous?
Where is Battle Ground Dancer?
Answer me boy, or pay.

ionosphere = myelin but tankier
sunray = situational but epic defense patch; low req. nice with petrichor
petrichor (seconded) = super epic defense patch, makes for incredibly powerful water builds
impudent (seconded) = once again is nice for sp, also some raw melee is cool on those types of builds
soldier = sp, but also a small chunk of hp
umbral mail = pretty cool hybrid thing
sparkling plate = a lot of raw melee damage
rainbow (seconded) = epic defense patch
malachite = why doesn't anyone use this, some nice sp + defense patch + small damage
neuron = cool little helm with some nice damage + mr! cool! (good on thunder)
ration = ultimate meme machine
misconduct (thirded?) = omega epic bow

that's bcuz it's that good pog

it's incredibly powerful; one tier of attack speed can result in a pure +50% or so to damage output (depends on what tier you're going up from, very slow -> slow is almost double for example whereas very fast -> super fast = around 1.3x)
