Yeah I was thinking…I know that’s so wrong and I shouldn’t, but all the unique items are more based on power etc. Now let it just be that I don’t care about extra damage on my pants or chest for a build. It would be nice to have an Item (chest or legg) piece that gives a bit tankyness to the build instead of more damage. 1 you can’t put damage glyphs on leggs or chest, and 2 just because it makes sense to me that it’s something the game is missing. Cheers

I know they’re not all for the same class, nor are they wholly devoted to damage reduction, but they still account for defence as opposed to offence. There are also equivalents for each class.
Yeah I see, but like I said… based on damage. Not on armor or resistance. All of it. There is no legg or chest piece that gives full damage reduction and then some for the aspect. That is what I mean.
Maybe not unique, but why does that matter? There are plenty of other options for full damage reduction like a great rare piece that has nicely rolled affixes. Some of the unique items give good defence affixes.
True, but unique items are easier to get then… rare items 0-0. I have more uber uniques then good chest and leg pieces with 3 types of damage reduction and total armor. It’s just something that should be in game if you ask me
