A Few Unique Item Ideas for Base items

In this thread I will be submitting a few ideas (with images) for a few of the base items in Path of Exile that have no currently existing unique counterparts. Some ideas will be weapons, while others will be armor counterparts.

I would love to see more polearm counterparts. "Wideswing" is the only true polearm type weapon currently existing in the game. So here are a few unique two handed weapon weapon ideas I would like to see in game.

Base item:
Despot Axe

Unique counterpart:
Ivan's Executioner



Damage : 156-210

Modifiers :
Increased Physical Damage
20 to Strength
10 to Dexterity
+2 to Weapon Range
Lose all Life Regeneration
10 to life gained on kill
+1 to maximum Frenzy Charge

The item name and idea is based off of Ivan the Terrible. He was known to consume mercury and is legendary for his ruthless rule. Russians at the time were known to wield a polearm called the Bardiche, which comes in many variations and sizes. I wanted a weapon alternative to the Wideswing that would support a Cyclone build. If you can think of a better but not OP support skill for Cyclone in this weapon, post it here and I'll change it.

Base item:
Reaver Sword

Unique Counterpart:
Erfrierung



Damage: 120-165

Modifiers:
20% to increased attack rating
Increased Physical Damage
-20% Increased Attack speed
+1 to Weapon Range
Adds 30-75 Cold Damage
Has 15% chance of triggering Parry on being struck

I would like to see a two handed weapon that could trigger a unique skill. The name "Erfrierung" means "frostbite" in German. So why not a huge German zweihander in the game? I would like to see the "Parry" skill come to life sometime in the future (as explained in previous suggestion threads). Zweihanders were treated like polearms instead of swords, so that is my reasoning for the decreased attack speed modifier. Zwei's were also made to break pike formations and catch incoming blades strikes, so a parry skillgem and a unique weapon to go with it would fit perfectly for 2h builds.

Bast item:
Crusader Helmet

Unique counterpart:
Archangel's Visage

Armour: 140
Energy Shield: 45

Modifiers:
30% increased light radius
-20% increased chaos resistance
5% to All resistances
+1 level to all aura gems sockets in this helm
20% increased stun recovery
+30 to Mana

Why this beautifully crafted in-game helmet has no unique counterparts just baffles me. I absolutely love the history behind the crusades and the design of crusader great helms. It's part of the reason why I am drawn to this game in the first place. As we all know angels beam a radiant light.

That's all I have for now. I'll post any other items that I feel that deserve unique items as I learn and continue my playthoughs. Keep in mind I'm still relatively new to this game. If you feel that anything is overpowered in this list, just tell me and I'll change it to suit PoE's gameplay mechanics.
