Aggressively and Accurately Ranking EVERY UNIQUE in Diablo 2
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- Today I present the ranking of every single Unique in Diablo 2, and I want you to know that this could be the most painful thing I've ever made. You've seen a top 10, but how about a top 379?
Thanks for watching! I expected this to be a SHORT, QUICK video before my next project that I'm extremely excited to work on, but it ended up being the longest video I've ever made. Oh well, I hope you enjoyed, and if you did

And as always, an amazingly large thank you to my Patrons. You are the reason I stay up too late editing! / seergames
P.S. Sorry for the lack of music bumpers in the video this week. They didn't look good over the graphics, as they covered up stuff. If you wanna know any particular song, I'll reply to your comment within 1-6 weeks.
This video is a great analogy for diablo 2. Very fun in the beginning. Interesting enough to keep you watching until the sunk cost fallacy kicks in and you wake up from your daze thirteen years later still trying to get to griffons eye.
How dare you summarize the last decade and a half of my life.
Shut up.
I can stop playing any time i want.
Only difference is, now its easier than ever to get hands on the GG Items even without the dupes and all that
As long as you get 1 decent drop like Ohm you can start trading your way up step by step
Thanks to Internet making it way easier😂
Griffons eye is a myth
Oh! it's fifty minutes long, didn't think about that

One weird and niche benefit of the Tan Do Li Ga (unique flail) is that its slow proc actually locks Baal so you can kill the boss for free. He won't move, cast spells, or even summon his clone as long as you literally just run up and slap him repeatedly for 4 minutes straight with this wet noodle of an item. So if you're leveling a HC char on normal/solo-find and find the item before Act 5 it's actually kinda sick.
Does this still work in Resurrected?
There's dopamine potential for lower level items that just isn't there for the higher stuff. When you're still in blues and underwhelming rares, and you see the gold text of an item that you just met the lvl req for... some good shit right there.
"Deadly strike, a better statistic than regular strike"
Deep knowledge game insight like this is what I come to the seer channel for.
"This Paladin shield is like you ripped the tank door off and started defending yourself", absolute gold mate made my night ;)
Man i really wanna know what the designers were thinking with some of the stats. With normal items, the stats are randomized so it makes sense for them to have stupid illogical things. But the uniques really had someone go "yeah, i'll give this level 50 caster weapon with like 2 damage a life leech and + to attack rating, that will really make it shine".
Right I always get super triggered when a caster weapon has leech or attack rating.....like whyyyyy!!!!! Just faster cast rate and other crap like increased mana or something
Probably they wanted to make as many different items as you can... never know how the meta is gonna look like
@@JspoonG probably they just dont understand own game😊
Remember, in WoW we had spirit on warrior gear too on launch... The itemization was straight goofy
@@InvadeNormandy spirit was actually decent until level 30 i think a better comparison would be warriors using agility
Goldwrap is the best magic find belt with IAS which helps melee characters in clear speed, also only one of two belts that gives IAS. Besides ubers it's the only belt I use with any melee character.
Yeah, its like the mf (and ias) on belt has same weight as mf anywhere else. But it doesnt.
On Javzon it is a dream
One of the only 2 ias belt yes, I came to say that. Very good belt.
man you are just the best. i was honestly having a horrible day before somehow finding this amazing channel and after binging most of your videos i can genuinely say there is nothing else like them. the amount of heart and soul that you put into every one of them put's nearly every other content creator to shame, just keep doing what your doing man because its working!
This is your best video so far based on raw, probably wrong, math calculations. Good job.
'Seer the Mega Chad Wordsmith' The Champion we never knew we needed in our lives. I always look forward to a new video from you!♥
genius title, it's the only reason I clicked. I haven't played d2 since like 2003.
Proud to say I watched the whole thing, great content man, sorry about your loss of sleep, the pain, the night terrors, the diarrhea etc. that came with making it
I don't even play Diablo 2 but for some reason you managed to make me watch this video until the very end, good work
Hey Seer, you should do a list of the worst to best Super Unique Monsters in Diablo 2 Resurrected. Base it on creativity of the name, placement of the monsters, drops and difficulty of the monster.
Damn this took some work. The definitive unique ranking list I dare say.
Naw not even close, I think adding arbitrary values for mods is not a good method some stuff is wildly out of place.
Like bonehew being above reapers toll and OP comparing the two as being similar is just way off. 33% decrep on hit is a slow and half an amp damage, best Merc weapon in the game pretty much. Bonehew is charsi food. Many more examples but I’m not going to criticize the effort that went into making this, just that the methodology used for ranking is questionable.
You're kidding right? Goldwrap, one of the most used belts, one that can actually be traded for runes... decent runes early on in the ladder, and he put it sub 340.
There are a LOT of entirely useless uniques. This list is about as accurate as throwing them into a random list and reading them out.
It really is borderline impossible to have a machine teach you how good D2 items are, the general trend here is that any slot that has sockets is going to be way overvalued by the system, even the very best uniques are trashed by runewords, by comparison stuff like bloodfist gets used in endgame builds.
Also I'm partway through, but I'm about 99% sure CoA is gonna be at the top with how these things have been lining up.
wtf is crescent moon doing there
aw windforce, how far you've fallen.
All the level 42 uniques are gonna be really high aren't they.
Mesh is so low, jesus.
Annihilus at 30 is wild, that's actually outrageous.
Torch also incredibly low.
ayy called it.
Incredibly high effort video as always, love the content :]
"And as this does what most things dont does then this gets to be do at this position" truly a master of prose
You need to take this one-man-show on the road. Dictation of Detailed Diablo Designations.
Man the background images makes d2r look so good.
Seer tier video!
50 mins of Seer?! Fantastic
I don't know why you decided to do this to yourself, but thank you for the insanity.
Great list, and hilarious. I know you rated the mathematically by stats, and that's probably the easier, and more efficient way. But some I would rate much higher, for their niche uses.
Because they are the only items to fit the role. Or they are the best items within that role. For example chance guards / hotspur etc etc.
Hotspur is actually massively underrated, especially in Hardcore, where you just want to be invincible from everything you possibly can.
Rising Sun, Hotspurs, Twitchthroe are all amazing.
@rammpeth - I almost skipped the video entirely when he called Twitchthroe boring. It opens so many doors at level 16. And Hotspur + Nokozan Relic gives you 90% fire resist at level 10. "Pointless item"?
S tier video
Two things I want to take from this amazing video:
I’m going to use the “Based on raw / probably wrong math calculations” to my QA/QC supervisors one day and see how they take it (and if I still have job after:))
And, how far you put homunculus on the list brought a tear to my eye.. my level 92 HC necro who was in possession of one SOCKETTED … RIP HerberttWestt
This was a great video, Seer. Thank you so much for putting your brain in a twist for some top tier writing!
The only channel I have notifications turned on. Always great content, my guy.
pls moar maplestory bbb music btw
stoutnail is actually pretty good for it's level. You basically get free aoe damage for a good number of levels. Mobs will be killing themselves in 1-2 hits
really useful in norm
A lot of these low-level requirement unique items are fucking amazing at lower levels...
Even end game uses.
I'm doing my part and I am currently commenting about some thing wooo hooo!
35:10 Langer Briser is mislabeled but holy shit this video is fantastic!
Please apply your flawless math to all the runewords next.
knockback and chance to flee, the "i like to chase my enemy instead of just killing them straight away because im a dumbass"
I got into diablo 2 with one of the seasons on project diablo 2, first drop on there was a gimmershred and was so amazed at how it carried me on an a5 merc through farming pits and beyond, when I got into d2r, i was very disappointed to find out that a5 mercs cant equip gimmershred
5:30 +6 to holy fire.. Damn that's good
your commitment to this video impresses me
I say it everytime dog, keep up with this gooooood stuff! Everytime I see a video I GOTTA watch it. You the man, Seer!
"There is no way a 49 minutes D2 item tier list is gonna be entertaining." - Seer virgins
The Dragon Chang dropped for me my first time playing diablo, and I was an amazon. I guess I had fun being an ant-like being for a time.
Im making 7 fully randomized characters skills and unique items. This helped me a lot. Thanks
Wither string is actually a fantastic norm nightmare cold fire bow. With that crazy attack speed.
Roughly 15% too fast but I like the way you present! Your rankings are a little weird but okay. Thanks for the upload!
« Im going mental » as if you hadn’t been mental from the start…
Love this.
I just sat through this whole video...and I don't even play Diablo 2
you underrated steeldriver by a lot. only needing 85 strength for a martel de fer at lvl 29 is a gamechanger for most melee builds. it takes quite a while for it to fall off
"This opens wounds. I open my dictionary to insult it." absolute gold man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm going to listen to the whole video because you used ff6 themes as bg music. Nostalgia overwhelming.
You deserve more subs the writing alone is top tier.
25:25 this is _the best_ Summonmancer wand, i dont think Rares can get anywhere _close_ to that many + to skills, it has some weird caveats, but they are mostly never a real concern. combine it with a good necro head that covers the Arm's weaknesses like Homunculus or Darkforce Spawn and you got a pretty good setup there. if you're going full-blown summon psycho then definitely go for the Homunculus tho as cast rate will not be very useful to you and it can _still_ cover curses if for whatever reason as a summoner you decide to get a little crazy and dump 1 point into Amplify Damage
seriously, with +5 to raise skeleton and +5 to skeleton mastery, this is hands-down the wand that will buff your skeletons the most by a wide margin, +2 to summon resist will pretty much cover like 95% of all the summon resist you will ever need, and +2 clay golem and golem mastery is nothing to sneeze at either although not entirely needed, you really cant go wrong with this thing as a Summonmancer. as a bonus, it will also buff corpse explosion a bit too.
all that said, you will most likely never say to yourself "wow i am glad i have +5 to skeletal mage" tho.
The stat calculation you used are definitely off, but good job for making a complete list. There were tons of items that had endgame use that were behind items that are total crap. Still nice job with the video
So many horrible D2 channels on UA-cam.
I just spit coffee onto my desk listening to you describe uniques. Can't wait to watch the rest of this bad boy.
Oof, gull at 349? It's like, top 30 at least! Amazing offhand
I think it would be so cool if certain items were designed around specific builds. Like an orb that gives +6 to blizzard and +4 to one of its synergies or whatever.
There literally are these kinds of items. What are you smoking? There are items, that give +X to specific skills or to all skills of one specific class or even single-handedly enable entire builds.
Just look at CtA, which gives you levels of Barbarian shout skills (yes, this item is mostly used as a buff source for various other builds, but still).
Look at The Oculus, giving the Sorceress +3 to ALL of her skills. Not just Blizzard or a synergy. All of them. Including Blizzard and all of its synergies. And every supporting skill like Warmth, Cold Mastery etc. That's what you are suggesting but even better, because it gives +x skills to all the skills you're using.
Look at the Dream runeword. You want to play a "Dream Paladin"? You need this. There is a specific build designed around this certain runeword. Basically what you are suggesting.
Jalal's Mane, giving +2 to all Druid skills and additionally +2 to all Shapeshifting skills. Meaning it is amazing for Druid Shapeshifting builds. So, to quote you...a "certain item"..."designed around specific builds"....
Also, number 158 in this video, Snowclash, is a belt, that specifically buffs Cold builds and Cold Sorc in particular. So, again, precisely what you're asking for. It, Arachnid Mesh, the Tal-Rasha set belt and Goldwrap (for its Magicfind) are the four most-used unique/set belts for that build.
Death's Fathom, a wand giving +3 to all skills (agsin, ALL of them; see my paragraph about the Oculus above on why that's good) and buffing cold skill damage and reducing enemy cold resist among various other things. Sometimes used by Cold Sorcs for its raw damage potential. Very rare to find though, IIRC.
No idea what you are talking about man. Have you never played D2?
@@ThorsShadow Jesus Christ nerd what are YOU smoking
@@ThorsShadow just because something gives plus shapeshifting skills doesn't mean it supports a SPECIFIC build, just a shapeshifting build. There are different variations you can go within each tree but there's usually just a best in slot item that covers like 90 percent of builds, rendering so many unique items and even rune words obsolete
So many of these items should be refine, giving an update given some love
Dude this video is my guiding light from now on.
the kirby all star theme lowkey was lit
This video makes me want to do a playthrough with no runewords
35:00 Repeated Buriza-do Kyanon's entry :D But whatever, I appreciate the tons of effort.
By the way, Buriza-do Kyanon is "Blizzard cannon", but pronounced with a Japanese accent (ブリザードキャノン). The developers even messed up the naming bit, probably thought that "ー" is a dash symbol, but it's actually a long vowel mark.
i never knew this and oh my fucking god blizzard put in the blizzard cannon as the best crossbow what the hell
holy shit
I do appreciate you using the in-game veniccio coast song and not the other ones you find. (I'm surprised I even remember the name of the place) Keep up the work, funny word man.
0:23 This joke was good as hell
My boy did goldwrap, infernostride, nokozon dirty. All three BiS in contexts. Great video though.
Most of the stats on unique items are so laughably embarrassing that they seem almost randomized. Ranged weapons have a grocery list of pathetic affixes, melee weapons boast little to no additional damage or have conflicting abilities, and caster items often praise themselves solely on their meager mana regeneration.
Considering that the majority of these spawn in patch 1.09 or later, there is no excuse why nothing received an update or boost in later patches to compete with runewords.
I watched this once, forgot to like. Came back to watch it again for the grievance. Thank you for makin a longer video! Your stuff running in the background / foreground w/e helps me with my own writing! Also its good to have with my breakfast ^^.
Ranking uniques a good job mate. Challenging work, keeps you indoors. Guarantee you won't go hungry...because at the end of the day as long as there's two uniques in the stash, one of them is going to want the other one ranked.
The crown of ages would have to be perfect for it to be on top I think, but it would have to roll with the two sockets and high damage reduction . Imagine how awesome it would be if it had +2 to all skills.. I suppose that would make it overpowered. I still think the Shako with the right rune is the better choice..
still looking..
you should do the runewords 😊
HIGHLY entertaining commentary my guy, 10/10!!
Lol at 9:00 there was a great opportunity to make an ancient AVGN reference. "More like soul feces"
phsss now this is sum real content
i came for the d2 shitposting and stayed for the alliteration
nice thumb also
Bro Seer, I dunno if it's your choice in games or what but you are criminally undersubscribed. You have talent my dude, for real
I can't stop watching this video. Epic.
This is the only Unique tier list that isn't dry as a bone, thank you.
Raven claw, along with a few fire damage charms and two pieces of cathan's set can power any hero through normal without having to invest a single skill point. I consider that to be of some use. =\
Raven Claw without any of that can also do that just fine.
yeah raven claw + twitchthroe is sick for leveling dude.
@@tylerm8145 I used to keep a set of deaths gloves, sash, raven claw, cthons, twitch, and duskdeep, mandals, and etlich for leveling. act 1 is a little slow , but deaths helps a lot for that, cthons lets you run forever (relatively) and then once you hit ravenclaw, then the rest, its an easy cruise through most of normal. had merc gear with greyform, a high res helm, and a high damage life steal pole axe.
good times, rip d2
@@aethertech why rip? You don't like D2R?
@@tylerm8145 D2R was one of the worst gaming experiences I've had. Buggy, crashy, bad servers, didn't 'fix' so much of the things wrong with D2 that would have made the game much more enjoyable, and accessible to all players.
It was just a fucking flop.
I just want to express appreciation for that long run-on sentence broken up for the staff entries from #57 onward
I am not good with words, but this effort is beyond human measurement. Stellar !
I'm gonna rank all the mispronunciations in this video.
If all these 2-handed swords were converted to 1-handed swords they would become mediocre. That's how bad thess 2-handed swords are! hahaha
Great video, btw! Impressive compilation!
I'm not going to lie even before I watch this video I was whistling the Mario Brothers 2 first level song in the grocery store today that song is stuck in my head all the time and I haven't played that game in over 25 years LOL
I can't believe I sat here and watched the whole thing any more than I can believe you sat there and made it
Hard disagree with these items being so painfully low ranked:
Steel Driver. Amazing upgrade weapon. Damage and IAS is pretty much all you need and want when it comes to a massive maul.
Gull. Um... What? You rank it so low because the only thing it is useful for is mfing. Yeah, that's the point. This being so low is almost criminal. 100% MF is insane when you have no MF gear. You can also don't even need mf gear when you can just switch to this on a boss kill.
Goldwrap. BiS for Gold find build, which is very popular for trav runs for shopping.
Duskdeep. For early level this helm is amazing. Ignore damage is overpowered at lower levels. Also has nice res and max damage which is insane for melee characters. Getting this at the beginning of the game is amazing.
General's Tan Do Li Ga. 50% Slow as a stat is insane on this very accessible weapon. You can switch, hit boss, and switch back for any enemy to be painfully slow and not being able to hit you at all. Also, the stats are decent for a melee build around that level. Decent damage, even more decent speed, and mana leech. Everything you need for a melee build.
Bloodletter. Too weak? I'm sorry, this is literally one of the best weapon damage weapons you can use at level 30. Can easily carry you to 50.
Twitchthroe. IAS and FHC are great stats for melee and the unprecedented 25% increase chance to block make this one of the most OP low level items in the game.
Nagelrings. Best MF rings in the game. Why do you hate mf items?
Frostburns. These gloves are a national treasure, you put them higher up or there will be hell to pay.
Bloodfist. Best low level melee gloves you can get.
Chance guards. Again, you hate MF why?
It's like MF hurt his family lol
i was just thinking about this channel since the patch dropped
Flawless math, it's like you found the same supplier as the dev team that designed these items.
I love the commitment to shitting on occulus while putting in 4 based on your own scoring system.
Wow.. This is a long one for you. If it's your usual, joke heavy yet sincerely delivered efforts, I hope the algorithm picks up for you, Seer. Great channel, my Dude 👍✌️
Amazing I am watching the entire thing. Love your take on all of the descriptions.
I skipped to the top 30 or so, knowing someone from Reddit saw their item in the high 300s and wondered why it doesn't trade for 10x Ber runes
Entertaining video.Took me 12mins to find the first truly underrated item in that list. Metalgrid is actually good vs Ubers.
I'm like 5 minutes in. I have no idea what's going on. This is great
I swear I watched some video just yesterday talking about how he just learned "Sparkling Mail" was actually "Sparking Mail" and I thought to myself that I would definitely make that mistake. It looks like it's pretty common.
Could you use the “chapters” feature in UA-cam to provide links to each item in the video? It would be very helpful for all of us to be able to check the ranking and review for items we find. I’ve had to rewatch the video EVERY time I find a unique that I need your review on. Thanks.
Fun fact: “Buriza-do Kyanon” is BLIZZARD CANNON in Japanglish.
i feel like with melee weapons if they changed the knockback to chance to stun or even just removing it that it would make a lot of them more viable options.
This video had a lot of commitment. Like looking for tyraels might. Lots of time spent for looking for it. And then... You have it. You watch it. Once. You give one like and comment. You toss it to the Stash
You 100% should be part of that Infernal race thing for the new ladder.
LOL, I haven't seen the team, are they all speedrunners? Or just like youtubers and stuff?
It’s both I believe. The main page has some info. I’m not sure who you’d need to contact but without a doubt you should qualify as impactful enough or however they measure it.
I'm not sure what's more sad. The fact I used Culwen's point on dual-wield barb up until Act 3 of Hell difficulty, or that the game didn't drop another good sword for me up until that point.
Oh yeah, this is the good stuff. Thanks for the video! Love Diablo 2
Thank you for watching, chad diablo 2 fan! 💪
16:35 SIgn of evil, a classic :)
God what an absolute vid. But I'll be your guest a bit later, this vid is abysmal to watch while playing coz I don't remember the exact stat of everything unique item to agree with your blabbering
Now make that same list three more times, but all uniques ranked through the eyes of a Timmy, a Johnny and a Spike Player Type.
i was waiting for your commentary on the occulus and i was not disappointed
Any video using Bobby Prince's Sign of Evil is the Sign of Class.
Awesome video Seer!!
Thank you so much for the great effort
I'm glad I found this channel
Keep doing what you are doing. God speed Seer, god speed.
