Bad Unique Overhaul

"

(2.0 to 4.0) Life Regenerated per second
You gain 100 Evasion Rating when on Low Life
+(30 to 50) to maximum Life
+(20 to 30)% to Fire Resistance
1.0% of Life Regenerated per Second while on Low Life

While you could consider it a leveling unique. I think the low life things work better with high level items because then you can build with Shavronnes or Baby Shavs.

Not only is the base terrible later on, it also has no great stats for any use in later levels.

100 Evasion on low life
Why not make it 10% dodge attacks an spells on low life instead?
Or get rid of the low life mechanic on this neck all together and just give it flat 100 evasion.

1.0% of Life Regenerated per Second while on Low Life
Is also almost nothing. Much more interesting would be "doubles the effectiveness of flat life regenartion effects"
Basically the 2-4 Life/s the coral gives becomes 4-8 instead. and all the other life regen values on your gear also double. This does not apply to %life regeneration.

"

Adds 1–4 Physical Damage
5% increased Physical Damage
Adds 1–3 Chaos Damage
+(20 to 30) to maximum Life
(2.0 to 4.0) Life Regenerated per second
10% Chance to Cause Monsters to Flee

Another bad base item. While it is a leveling ring I much rather have a decently rolled coral or resist ring in the early game. I mean how long will I really use this one?

The values are also way too low on this one.

5% increased Physical Damage
Means nothing in early game. I can wear a Rustic Sash and it gives me almost 5 times the value.
So either the value changes to that of a rustic sash or it is replaced by something more interesting.

Adds 1–3 Chaos Damage
Again way too low as a value. Even with some passives this will never scale to any useful value.
Make it 5-10 Chaos damage or something.

10% Chance to Cause Monsters to Flee
Another useless value.
Why not 100% chance to flee on crit? I mean no one really wants flee to begin with but either make it good flee

Here is my idea for Blackheart:

"

Adds 1–4 Physical Damage
10-20% Increased Physical Damage
Adds 10–20 Chaos Damage
+(20 to 30) to maximum Life
(2.0 to 4.0) Life Regenerated per second
Physical Damage scaling also applies to Chaos Damage

Or

"

Adds 1–4 Physical Damage
10-20% Increased Physical Damage
Adds 10–20 Chaos Damage
+(20 to 30) to maximum Life
(2.0 to 4.0) Life Regenerated per second
25% Chance to Cause Monsters to Flee
Fleeing Monsters take 30% of the dealt damage as chaos damage over 2 seconds.

"

Adds 2–4 Physical Damage
+(12 to 20) to maximum Life
−2 Physical Damage taken from Attacks
40% of Melee Damage taken reflected to Attacker

Adds 2–4 Physical Damage
Too low. 4-10 at least.

+(12 to 20) to maximum Life
Too low. 20-50 at least.

−2 Physical Damage taken from Attacks
Too low. -4 at least.

40% of Melee Damage taken reflected to Attacker
Just really bad.
Instead make it 100% of Melee Damage reflected to attackers. Or 40% of damage reflected to all attackers (even ranged and mages)

"

60% increased Armour and Energy Shield
50% reduced maximum Mana
Gain a Power Charge for each Enemy you hit with a Critical Strike

With all the new ways of getting Powercharges the downsides on Voll's are just too massive to be actually competitive against the other items.

60% increased Armour and Energy Shield
Increase that value. Or give additional Armor and Energy Shield as flat values.

50% reduced maximum Mana
It's okay to have a downside but 50% reduced mana?
10 or 20% would be bad enough.

"

(140 to 180)% increased Armour and Energy Shield
+10% to all Elemental Resistances
Gain an Endurance Charge when an enemy Scores a Critical Strike on You
2.0% of Life Regenerated per Second while on Low Life
Share Endurance Charges with nearby party members

With no life on it and low resist this chest is just not competitive.

2.0% of Life Regenerated per Second while on Low Life
Again with the low life nonsense. You don't want to go low life with such a bad chest.
Especially not for 2% lousy %.

Here is my version

"

(140 to 180)% increased Armour and Energy Shield
+40-60 Life
+20% to all Elemental Resistances
Gain an Endurance Charge when an enemy Scores a Critical Strike on You
10% Reduced damage taken from Critical Strikes for each Endurance Charge you have
Share Endurance Charges with nearby party members

"

(10 to 15)% increased Attack Speed
+(10 to 20) to Armour
(10 to 15)% reduced maximum Mana
(10 to 15)% increased Cast Speed
Conduit

A unique we find every day, everywhere and it is basically useless.
Conduit is fine and good, but not on low levels on a bad base.
I mean you can't even have charges on the level you can wear these gloves and they don't become any better when you finally can have charges.

(10 to 15)% reduced maximum Mana
Why do they even need a downside, the gloves aren't even that great. Sure cast speed is cool, but I don't really know anyone who uses them for casting stuff.

I think just removing the downside would make these gloves much better overall

"

+(20 to 30) to Strength
50% increased Evasion Rating
+(10 to 20)% to Cold Resistance
25% of Physical Damage Converted to Cold Damage
Reflects 10 Cold Damage to Melee Attackers

I never have seen any good use for these gloves besides EK. But even that could be done much better with Hatred.

While I overall like the cold theme, the gloves just can't compete with other ones.
Normally good gloves are ones that have attack speed, life, resist, damage, leech.

Here is my idea:

"

+(20 to 30) to Strength
50%-70% increased Evasion Rating
+(15 to 25)% to Cold Resistance
33% of Physical Damage Converted to Cold Damage
2% Leech Cold damage leeches as life

"

+(12 to 24) to maximum Energy Shield
Reflects 5 Physical Damage to Melee Attackers
Take 5 Physical Damage when hit by Attacks
Pain Attunement

We all know this is the worst unique in the game (maybe not anymore but it always used to be)
and the reason for that is, it just has no real benefit in using.

Reflects 5 Physical Damage to Melee Attackers
Throns are terrible

Take 5 Physical Damage when hit by Attacks
But Thorns applied to yourself is even worse

Pain Attunement
Does nothing at low levels and you don't really want to be low life unless you build around it and then this helmet is trash.

Here is my Idea:

"

+(12 to 24) to maximum Energy Shield
Low Life status works at 50% or less of your Health
Regenerate 5% of your Energy Shield when hit by Critical strikes
Pain Attunement
