| shikamaru317 said: So Blizzard revealed today why the legendaries in Diablo 4 are weaker than those in Diablo 3, turns out that Legendary isn't the highest loot tier. Highest loot tier is called Unique and they only drop at level 50+ on higher world tiers. Uniques have 4 pre-determined affixes and 1 pre-determined unique affix that is only on that exact item, and those affixes will have much higher percentage boosts than Legendary gear, comparable to the boosts granted by Diablo 3 Legendaries (I know I found one Legendary in Diablo 3 that increased damage of a certain skill by a whopping 300%, biggest skill damage increase I saw on a Diablo 4 Legendary in the beta was a 44% boost for comparison, so Uniques should be a substantial upgrade over Legendaries in Diablo 4). |
We pretty much know that since almost 2 years tho :) They explained all of this multiple times.
They also said that you will get only "few" uniques per saison. For instance during this weekend beta, I believe one or two players only got that unique from the rare spawn Butcher. I farmed it like crazy and did not get it.
You can probably find on Reddit a screenshot of it if you are curious.
