You're missing the point.
"Legendaries" are just a crafting ingredient.
"Uniques" are what legendaries were in D4, which brings the item naming back into line with D2 and also PoE.

Lucky Hit is normalized by attack type and speed, so this shouldn't be correct.

In my experience, you get 3-4 legendaries in those chests. Haven't done enough or them to flat out say it's guaranteed, but I'm guessing it is

I am definitely not missing the point, you're missing the sarcasm. While also not understanding that uniques are definitely not what legendaries were in D3 (you meant D3 even though you said D4).
Legendaries in D3 had one set modifier and everything else was random, you never knew what other mods you would get.
This system is a small iteration on that absolutely garbage system, which to be fair most people here have recognized.
Most people.

They guarantee at LEAST 2 legendaries, average being 4 for me over 30ish. I've had 2 maybe twice, 5 legendaries probably 10 times, and usually 4 or so. Uniques also, probably 5 or so Uniques from them. They also drop 4+ elixirs. Definitely THE target for Helltides, followed by majorly needed upgrades and build requiring unique slots.

You're right, the list of the uniques show actual affixes that are well ...unique.
Unique Items and Uber Uniques - Maxroll.gg D4
Unique Items are the highest tier of items you can find in Diablo 4. They are very powerful and can completely change the way you build your character. D4 Uniques
maxroll.gg
Now looking at that list, i don't think a lot of these are opening up new ways to play minus a couple of these, and i'm not sure how viable that new build would be compared to the cookie cutters out there. I'm not saying every build should clear the same way, but if one build pulls a million DPS (complete made up number) and the best your new build tailored around your unique is 10k well ....

Hey, it's better than D3 minion AI!!
Are you following the video guide that was linked earier in the thread (will link again at the bottom). He has links to his setup, which is made for Hardcore, so low dps, higher survivability. I made some changes to it, to switch more damage to sever and corpse explosions DoTs, but the spec eats T3 helltide events solo, no problem.
I seem to have gotten lucky on uniques and have 6 or 7 of them drop by level 60. They might be making a huge difference, but they are more of a quality of life thing. They do allow me to get so much mana back and drop so many corpses that I don't need a builder; so I switched to corpse splosion and changed out army for tendrils.
This first spoiler is for SS from my character, I dont think the guy from below is using the barrier and it's pretty huge. The internets are saying the stacking armor one is better, especially with dots being applied. I also have the following Uniques: Howl from Below, Greaves of the Empty Tomb, & Bloodless Scream equipped. Evertything else should be the same as the dude.
Been using barrier, most of the game (ironically, when I tried to do the capstone, way too early, it didn't fit in my bone spear set)
Extra mages needs to go on the neck to get 3 instead of 2:

Only really played a Druid, but literally every single one of those completely changes how they're played

Yeah not gonna lie i didn't look at the druids cause i never gave a fuck about that class in D2 or now
Looking at the bard and necro one, some offer good bonuses, some might change the playstyle, but most just offer a bonus that will fit in (or not) in your current build.

That "leak" that came out about tier 5, the new gems, etc. Im pretty sure we're going to get another rank above Ancestral for season 1. I was killing Tier 4 in my mid 50's. So Im guessing tier 5 would probably be late 60's, early 70's on that same character.
I think they need a hell of a lot more help. Not only does it seem like they stole the AI from EverQuest, but the animations are complete garbage. Im talking about both the Necro AND the Druid minions. I think the original power level they had in the first beta test for most people (KFC Beta) - that version of minions, at least for the Necro, were in a great spot with how strong they were. Everyone judged the entire class off its minions on low level content where we had a legendary in every single slot at level 25. Until they revert that, and or change how they inherit their damage and tankiness (or just increase those values substantially) - I think those builds are just dead in the water.
I really wanted to do a companion build with the druid and take it up into Werewolf Companions with all the werewolf synergies. But those legendary aspects dont even get you remotely close to the power output that the Pulverize or Tornado builds put out as a Druid. Necro - it just seems like if you arent using Bone Spirit or Bone Spear builds - you're in the same damn boat.

With all of the shit that needs to be fixed in this game to make it more fun, blizzard has exclusively done nothing but nerf anything fun. Like a dungeon with high mob density and lots of elites? Too fucking bad, apparently killing mobs is not how blizzard envisions you playing (rip eridu)

Thanks, will take a look at this. I was following another hardcore build that used bone spear /w bonestorm. I think this will help with the AE damage I'm sorely lacking.
Still wish the AI wasn't dogshit though lol. Golem active skill fires off way too late somtimes.
Edit: Oh yeah this game doesn't even have the focus on enemies that I cast spells on thing that almost every other ARPG has.

You can wear Ancestral as early as 60. Going in there at 50's was me trying to push for higher rolls on the sacred pieces.
