Underrated uniques vol 1

Instructions for this thread
1. Post a brief mention of your personal favorite unique, regardless of whether it's actually underrated by the community or not
2. Inform everyone else that they are wrong

As I'm feeling contrary, I have only complied with point #2.
When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

Let's not forget the chaos damage.


The chaos damage is pretty forgettable though.

Highly rated for leveling, but it's actually an endgame piece too:

When night falls
She cloaks the world
In impenetrable darkness
Crest of perandus is really hard to beat. Even if you find a high block shield you're still missing out on that great lifeleech. During nemesis it took me forever to find an alternative since I really wanted to replace it.

Has substantially better evasion/res but still lose 2% block and lifeleech.



You can now get corrupted versions for cheap prices so that makes it quite great for 85+ chars.

Great for leveling, especially if your skills fit the gem level boost. Decent evasion & great mana regen. The negative resistances mean nothing unless the rest of your gear is absolutely abysmal.



Good stat stick for non-weapon damage builds until finding better stuff. Grants tons of freedom for affixes in other slots. Reduced rarity barely has an effect and you can easily counteract it with one piece of gear anyway if you really want to. I used this up to about level 75 with one character.

Have you ever done a 7 endurance charges build, punk? Have you?
Deerstalker
Cheapest 5l for trappers early in the leagues.
I'm a forum warrior, i was born to post, raised to defend my league. Now my post has been removed, chained and exiled by mods who Ban. Ban is my brother; i do not fear it. I see it in the eyes of men and beasts that i troll. It will take me to play the actual game when i am ready and i am not ready.

Deerstalker has quite nice 3D art and you can get some nice shards from vendoring it, it's quite usable in those both areas.

Anticipation slowly dissipates...

Anyways when you put literally no effort into getting resists, you'll be able to wear diamond rings with life and magic find with no resists all the way till Act 3 merciless. Which I solo'd just fine. My character was plenty tanky all through leveling. Then if you want to do level 70 maps... just take the helmet off. With all the additional magic find you should have enough wealth to afford resists gear for farming experience. WHOA mind blown!

I flew through the content so fast that my Veil of Night character was consistently 10 levels below the currently map level throughout. I never had to stop and level up, just went straight threw everything.


Yes, nothing. But now we have a thread, which you've probably should've linked.

The helmet is useless in normal.
The helmet provides 20% all resistances in cruel, which is hilariously easy to get, whether by 3-4 passive points or 2 rings if you were that unlucky (or lacking knowledge) to get those resistances elsewhere.
The helmet provides 60% all resistances in merciless. By then, if you can't get positive resistances you're just lacking knowledge and should consider changing the game genre.

"Plenty tanky" with zero resistances, top statement of the year.

If you want to perform better in any way, you should just take the helmet off.
What additional magic find? I got it all without that helmet easily, self found, on 70th level.

That helmet just provides a different play, which you may find entertaining, but I find that just gimping myself so hard.
If you were flowing through the content "so fast", you would be flowing much faster without it (well maybe not you obviously, but everyone else).
If not playing in a hardcore league, your "never had to stop and level up" is not an accomplishment at all.

Again, not anywhere near being underrated, just fucking bad and worth the bottom place.
Done here.

You just like arguing, don't you?
Another quality ZAP! post.
TheBlackRibbon
I LIED.
Just because you can stack negative Resistances doesn´t mean you have to equip every piece with negative Resists.


TheRedRibbon
I LIED.
Just because you can stack negative Resistance doesn´t mean you aren´t allowed to equip Items with Resists


GGG
LIED too.
Just because i wanted some cheap affordable gear through the Barterhouse, didn´t meant they wont make it worth the planned Orb of Alteration but a freaking Alch.
