How many leveling uniques are recommended?

Hello. Xbox player here. So I got my first character to maps. I'm gonna make my main soon and id like to know for future characters. How many uniques are recommended for leveling. So far I got 5 good early game uniques for leveling. I'm worried about getting more cause I may not be able to fill what I need with rares. What you guys think or what's your preferred method?

you really do not need much at all.

A) tabula. free 6 link makes things easy
B) 2-3 good dps weapons, spread out at levels 5/20/40 or 10/30/50. again, makes things melt
C) victario's flight boots. gotta go fast, and some stat points.

the rest of the slots, whatever rares i find along the way. if you have the first 2, you can go nekkid to maps.
Ok cool. Im set then :). I got a sprigwood wand, a unique 30 lightning resist shield, unique ring 30 fire and cold resist, unique neck with 25 Dex and str for requirements, and wanderlust. I got almost all of my unique build items already so I'll equip those as I become of level :D.

On top of those already mentioned, good early lvl uniques are Goldrim (great resists and good overall) Wurm's Molt (life, leech and stats) Lochtonial Caress (great attack and cast spd, charges on kill) and - for projectile builds - Karui Ward ( movespeed, dmg, stats).

Equip as needed, and breeze thru the early acts.

When I am rolling a new char on standard I never leave Lioneye's Watch without.

I'll be adding this to my new char items at the league end.

Archer


Melee


These setups seem to get me pretty far before I need to start searching for upgrades while filling in the gaps with rares I drop for more health.
Sound the dread alarm, through the primal body! Sound the reveille, to be or not to be. Rise! Stay the grand finale! Stay the reading of our swan song and epilogue. One drive to stay alive! Elementary, muster every fiber. Mobilize! Stay alive!
Having a lot of flat damage sources is very helpful such as ones from abyssal jewels and items like these:

Goldrim and a nicely rolled String of Servitude belt will do nicely. Those two alone and you're set on resistances until Act 6. That plus Tabula Rasa is probably all you need. Then some nice weapons, like shown above, until you find some better rares.
