I can make a terrible suggestion, but it is fun and doable as a design >:D
It is the troll inside me that keeps suggesting this one, though I am the most likely person to fall victim to it. (it will never happen though :), just like posting the idea once in awhile. GGG would never accept it).

The griever:

Unique quiver.

Adds 2-5 all damage (so 2-5 chaos, lightning, fire, cold and physical)

20% More damage
50-60% Increased attack speed
+10% dodge
+5% spell dodge
-80% IIR
Applies heroic buff on enemies upon hit
Quiver has a strong red glow to it.

Chitus bade in the might of his empire, but did not see where it came from, to find it one day turn against him. -Victario

Heroic buff:
10% More damage
5% More attack/ cast speed.
Can stack up to 10 times.

(total of 100% more damage and 50% more attack/ cast speed on enemies).

If you are not killing you are in danger of killing yourself very fast. Obviously using a fast short bow or quill rain with no real damage has the purpose of getting your party killed by enemy mobs, hence: The Griever. So it is a strong risk reward unique in solo play and can be used to grief party play. -80% IIR is somewhat needed to prevent low level farming with it.

The game already has a few of those....
Standard Forever
Quiver of the dead monkey

Same mods as quiver but...
Looks like a dead monkey slung over your back
And has chance to summon undead zombie monkeys

But ya outta those choices. Quiver.

You think Searing Touch or Taryn's match up to the 2 handed physical uniques? Or Void battery being in the same league as something like Soul Taker? I must be forgetting a few caster uniques.
20% Increased Elemental Damage
100% Crit multi
15% Inc Area of effect
5% Chance to shock/freeze/burn
+40-80 ES
-20% Resist
-5% MS

This quiver might work for casters (with deaths harp for crit multi?) and bow users?
Return to this flameless sunder
Where exiles burn and the joyless wander;
Frozen lore beneath chaotic thunder,
Dominus returns to send us under.
The exile design is someone trying way too hard to be original and ending up with an incomprehensible mess. How would you even start explaining that to the player in game, the vast majority of players never visit the forum? If the exile eats your weapon how are you supposed to kill it within the time limit? Maybe always carry a spare, that sounds super fun...yawn.

Sword is just a normal sword with a lot of damage for some reason. Maybe it is the light radius that makes it super unique.

The quiver is a quill rain abuse in disguise. The zombie on kill is not important, if I have I bow setup that actually kills stuff I won't care for random zombies popping up cluttering the screen. But skeleton on hit with high attack speed will give you an endless skeleton horde. Of course all of this is irrelevant because naked summons without any support gems can't kill anything and die in seconds, so nobody would use it in the first place.

Given the 3 options it is expected that the quiver will win, being the lesser evil of the 3. It is also expected its design will be severely altered given the devs comment.

I would honestly suggest you scrap the poll and go back to the drawing board, but I am guessing it is already too late for that.
I vote quiver, but id say it should be something bit better than regular zombies or skeletons so it would be like build enabling so you could get minions passives and such and be ranged summoner or w/e, maybe add in dominating effect for the bow? (like 10% or so after killing enemy you have a chance of it permanently becoming yours).

I'm not going to try comparing them but Searing and Taryns are at least solid uniques to fill that void. There are other base item types that have NO uniques at all. I would rather see them filled.

Edit: I forgot to mention that Soul Taker is a badly designed unique and I hate that people keep pointing at it as a baseline for other uniques to aspire to.

None of them really interest me...


The Exile was a wall of text that I did not bother to read. Keep it simple stupid.

The Quiver is ok, I guess. My vote kinda tends toward this one.

The sword is not strong enough. It should add AT LEAST 250 more physical damage and 70% more Fire damage.
