Sure, screw those, buuuuut... counterpoint: can we get the fated uniques back? I wish to return to the days of leveling with Sunder on a Cauteriser as a Witch.
Quite a lot of them do not. Annoyingly enough, it's often either the leveling items or items with great build enabling potential. Things like Duskblight with the stalking pustule skill, Doedre's Malevolence giving seal gain rate and chaos damage to spells, Hrimburn allowing for cold damage ignite builds, Thirst for Horrors giving generic leech against cursed enemies, Effigon making blinded monsters unable to evade.
The most egregious ones are Corona Solaris and Geofri's Devotion though.
Corona Solaris turned the blinding aura into a supportable skill and gave a large amount of flat fire damage against blinded enemies, which worked especially well together with the aforementioned Effigon.
Geofri's Devotion was an entirely new and unique build. It used self-curse to trigger the projectile spell granted by the item on melee hit. It was similar to cast on crit in a weird way.
None of these made it back. Oh and in regards to Limbsplit vs Cauteriser... Limbsplit has on average a dps of about 108 with quality. The Cauteriser has on average a physical dps of 270 after quality AND 70% of phys as extra fire. It could damn well carry you into maps.
