Whats the Purpose of Garbage Uniques?

Is Bramblejack amazing?
like most other garbage drops for vendor currency, if you get stuff you don't want, vendor it

there is a vendor recipe for uniques for 5 chances
The shit uniques dropping in high lvl play serve the same function as light radius on gear.

To dilute the pool. That is all. Some may call them leveling uniques but really, using thos uniques you outlevel them incredibly fast. Their usefulness is only a couple hours really. After that they are just filler.

Now consider how many uniques we have, almost 200, versus the number of uniques actively sought for in trade on a daily basis, like 7-8. If they were as awesome a people are claiming wouldnt more people be searching for them?

I think it is if you combine it with Punishment curse on low lvl pvp-arenas.

Thats the thing thats really shitty. Why are these uniques dropping on end game content from end game bosses. Its filler - just goes on with the theme of the game which is to produce as much junk as possible.

I'm fairly sure that half these uniques only exist to encourage people to experiment with strange builds.

For example, I would totally build a witch around that Queens Decree two-handed sword, because why not?

Because "endgame" is not about farming until your eyes bleed. The idea is to get fairly high level, then roll an entirely new character - perhaps using some of the stuff you found with your previous characters.

I'm sure there's a dev post on this somewhere that I might be able to find if I put my mind to it.

Ezomyte peak, and crown of thorns are the only two i can't build with. But the rest linked in this thread could be very useful from leveling to endgame, (assuming you build around them properly.

I do agree that a good rare is better than most uniques. And just because you can't sell them doesn't make them bad, it just means the market is too saturated. Just imagine if a shav dropped as often as a perandus? It would be selling for a couple of chaos at best.
