GGG just needs to give unique weapons a general damage upgrade.

Well...they did recently do this with A LOT of the uniques. The vast majority got massive damage overhauls and buffs that make them far more competitive, but they are also very often level-bound. A level 20 unique shouldn't have to scale into the endgame...although you COULD do something like Diablo 2 and find a way to upgrade the base unique to a more elite version of it.


On to the "unique" uniques: every single unique item in the game should have some stat or multiple stats that make them inherently unique. Every single one. There should not be a single unique in existence that simply has normal mods that can be found on any item. I would argue that even if a unique item "borrows" a mod from a different item type (ex: a unique glove having a helmet mod), this is simply not good enough to justify a unique. They don't necessarily all need to be build-enabling, but at the bare minimum they should do something like that unique helm that simply has "onslaught". Things like that, that can be found nowhere else on gear (NOT legacy synth gear...) should be on every unique. Have a mace unique weapon shoot out spikes or something. Have a shield enchant itself when you block to shoot a fireball or raise its block rate, or recoup life or something. Have more unique boots with ground effects. Have uniques tied to various skills a la Diablo 3 legendaries.
