Hey Desper,
Maybe you could go a bit deeper with your feedback and share some more info on some points.
The first impression when reading your post is, that you propably haven’t gotten very deep into the game and gave up early on tour first impressions. Can you tell us how far you have gotten into the game?
- What classes have you played?
- How far have you been? Story? Arena? Monolith
- Why exactly do you think uniques are boring?
- Can you give some examples of uniques that you find boring?
- Did you use uniques or right out left them alone because of reading the stats?
- Why do you think drops are bad?
- Didn’t you find items with propper affixes for your character?
- Where you overwhelmed by the mass of loot that dropped that was not usable for your class/build
I’m curious to hear about these kind of info, because I personally have a contrary opinion on almost all your points.
I can understand that it is hard to filter out useful items without a proper lootfilter setup. From your post I think it is very likely that you just made a mistake with yours. Its defenitely possible to filter for “firedamage” affixes. If you are interested, you could check out @Heavy s Lootfilters.
Some early uniques are a bit simple. But there are some helpful leveling items. Later in the game you discover a lot of build enabling and defining uniques. Especially the monolith boss specific uniques are really nice and valid endgame gear in most cases. So it would be interesting to know of what uniques you talk about being underwhelming.
From my experience with LE theres almost a use for everything if you just wrap your head around it a bit and you figure out the synergies between uniques and skills.
So please share some more info to help improving this game.
Cheers!
