Hi, since a long time i play this game (never finish, only nightmare difficulty with close combattants classes, 408 hours of game on) and i have 2 majors feelings :
Uniques items :
- Why i always almost have all the daggers uniques in each run and never more more rarely others ?
- Why so less one-handed uniques weapons ?
On armors :
- Heavy armors are so useless compared to light armor, same for warriors. Resistance are so much precious than "armor" stat, i always prefer going light armor same for warrior for this reason. Armor should take "spell" on it (not "mind" etc of course but fire, cold, acid, lightning, yes !)
A good robe with "physical resistance" + "resistance all" doing the same in better than an big armor and it's a non-sens for me
All my character with heavy armor + life regeneration died sooner than characters with "robe résistance".
Plus :
- why not some spell with "incantation time" ? Magic damage one shot me all the time at the end of the most of my runs
That's all for my feelings,
thx for reading

Re: Uniques and Armors
1. That may just be conformation bias. I don't think daggers are more common than other artifacts?
2.While I do really like robes and prefer them to heavy armor, armor is still important due to how damage is calculated. It's very early in the calculation to reduce damage, so it is more effecive than the small numbers would imply. It is still perfectly fine to forsake heavy armor for robes though.
3. Having an extra "incantatin time" would needlessly nerf all mages. If getting oneshot by mages is killing you, I recommend finding gear with "crit shrug" to reduce the damage from critical hits.

Re: Uniques and Armors
Daggers are a weird one. First, there aren't terribly many unique daggers... however, there are a lot of rogues in the game which use daggers. While the general rarity of daggers is low, you indeed get a lot of normal and unique daggers. However, you'll find that on higher difficulties you find very few randart daggers.
There are a fuckton of 1h weapons in the game. As a matter of fact, their droprate is also higher than daggers. So it's likely that that is indeed confirmation bias at work.
... i think Robes might have been overbuffed.
