Unique items are not useful enough

I went through a whole play-through, reached level 30, finally managed to beat the Crucible area, and received 2 unique items as a reward (this was my first time seeing any unique items).

The unique items? A rapier I couldn’t use because of stats, and a shield that was worse than the one I was currently using (current shield is a “rare” drop from a crucible enemy). I don’t mind that unique items are super rare because it makes it so much more enjoyable when you finally get one, but having them be worse than or equal to rare/cursed items doesn’t seem right considering just how hard they are to get (echo knight is insanely tough). Maybe the other unique items are better and I just had bad luck with mine though

Big agree. I’ve found several uniques so far and none of them were worth equipping over what I already had or I couldn’t even try because of the stat requirements. The requirements being so high to use items means you basically need to dump multiple levels worth of stats just to be able to use an item or already know about a unique, plan way ahead with your stats and just hope you get it. It’s just as bad with non-unique items as well.
