PoE 3.20 There are over 15 new unique items to be found from within the Forbidden Sanctum and throughout Wraeclast and the Atlas. We’ve also massively increased the power and rarity of ten existing endgame unique weapons to bring them in line with some of Path of Exile’s most iconic unique items.
Endgame Unique Weapons
Problem:
Many of Path of Exile’s most iconic unique attack-based weapons have fallen out of use over the years. This is mainly because attack-based builds prioritise high base weapon damage over all else, and unique weapons are currently not able to compete with rare weapons in this regard. While a fundamental aspect of Path of Exile’s itemisation is that unique items will be outclassed by rares, in the cases of these iconic weapons, they get outclassed before they can be reasonably acquired.
Solution:
We’ve increased the power of some existing endgame unique weapons, in some cases massively, in order to bring them in line with some of Path of Exile’s most iconic unique items. In most cases these items have been made significantly rarer.
