Clarifications about "leveling uniques"

Many POE builds says that its easier to level just by using leveling uniques yet I have doubt because some of them doesn't give any resist like tabula rasa and resist is more important than everything right?I just want to ask why some(or many)players recommended those items?

Because you can get your resists elsewhere and 6-link is just too strong too pass on

tabula rasa is very strong for its 6L potential early on. Resists are not important when you delete anything that might hurt you first.

But to fully benefit from Tabula Rasa's early power you need to have the gems and the mana management to consistently fire off skills with relatively large cost multipliers. No big feat these days, but worth considering nonetheless. TR is not my personal idea of a good levelling unique but I played SSF, which doesn't always have the means to exploit Tabula's potential. I much preferred all benefit early uniques such as Crest of Perandus or Wurm's Molt. But with support gems to spare and decent twink gear, Tabula is hard to beat for any levelling that doesn't require you to go toe-to-toe with the enemy...and many would argue if you are doing that, you are doing it wrong.
If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between.

I am Path of Exile's biggest whale. Period.

Some of the leveling uniques are all about resists. Goldrim, for example - https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Goldrim

Another popular one is a resistance version of String of Servitude - https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/String_of_Servitude

If you're not using a leveling weapon (say, by playing a spellcaster and being okay with foregoing Lifesprig / Axiom Perpetuum), Aurumvorax is another solution for your resistances - https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Aurumvorax

Ppl don't stress on resists when recommending leveling uniques partly cos those items are part of the package and go a long way towards solving your resistance woes, and partly because they expect you to be able to take care of the rest with regular gear you happen to find/drop.

That said, vendor recipes help a lot here too - and a few of those are also recommended for leveling fast. Pertinent to this topic, there's a recipe for quickly getting resistance rings early in the game. You can see all of them here - https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Vendor_recipe_system
