Everything linked thus far and discussed is in softcore leagues...there is a reason those are still very usable in those leagues.

Link some underrated viable uniques for Hardcore/Invasion. :)

Nice.

Cloak of Flame is extremely underrated, it's like a lightweight, easier variant of Lightning Coil. The fact that the damage is converted to Fire Damage means it's extremely synergistic with AA, and with the exception of the Fire reflect all of its other mods are also useful.

LOVE Cloak of Flame. That ignite duration with Scorned is evil.

Hi :)

Has the potential for 200+ strength.

+ Meginord's Vise (100 str)
+ Astramentis (116 str)
+ The Magnate/Headhunter (50/55 str)

You can easily get 380 strength just from the passive tree with a basic marauder build like RF (and potentially 500+ if you go for every big 20/30 str node).

Assume you have an extra 100 from your other slots:
(380 + 100 + 100+116+55 ) * 1,17 = 751*1.17 = 868 strength !

With 500 str from the tree that'd be 1019.

(Not as much as +200, idk how could much base strenght would you need for that to happen, probably around 1k.
Edit: I did the math. You'd need a base of 1176 strength.)

Use Pillar of the Caged God or Doon Cuebiyari (for an extra 50 strength - 937/1078 str overall with the above numbers). What skills could I use efficently with them?

I found Sin Trek in ambush and it took me a few seconds but I realized it was MADE for my character.

Its a CI Darkscorn-wielding Scion. I use an ES chest and helm, ES/Ev gloves and I was going to use a pure Ev boots to get movement, and most important, dem 4L GGGG that I need. That was the puzzle...I want as much ES as possible but I need green slots. I didnt want to use pure Eva boots, thought about using ES/Ev boots...but then along comes Sin Trek. It COUNTS as pure eva for sockets but it has ES, BOTH stats I use, AND 30% move!

Another build-amping unique dropped for my wife a few days later, which she kindly gave to me:

Youd think the ES penalty would suck...but here I am A3C with 1400ES, plenty more ES nodes to take, 305 Int, 9% phys leech and 1 point away from Ghost Reaver. :-D

Not even CI or using Sin Trek yet but Im looking forward to finishing the build at Lv62.

Edit: WOW...I just realized...umm....WTB Divine orbs!! ;) Should bless it too I suppose.

Let's not forget the chaos damage.

Araku Tiki. A neat little amulet.
Darkray Vectors.
Chober Chaber.

Only under rated by those who don't understand how to use it.

I don't see Simula anywhere, this thread is a lost cause.
