The State of Mythic Uniques in Diablo 4: Strengths and Weaknesses

In Diablo 4, Mythic Uniques are meant to be the most powerful pieces of equipment in the game, but the reality doesn’t always reflect that. Some of these items are so underwhelming or difficult to trigger that they see little to no use, with certain classes finding them completely useless. This article examines several underperforming Mythic Uniques, analyzes their issues, and suggests possible improvements to help them find a meaningful place in the game.

First, let’s look at "Broken Oath", a two-handed weapon whose effect relies on executing enemies to trigger an AOE explosion. However, the execution condition is too restrictive, and the explosion damage is lackluster, making this weapon ineffective in practice. Increasing the execution trigger rate or enhancing the explosion’s damage and radius could make it viable for certain builds. Additionally, adding secondary benefits—such as attack speed or critical hit bonuses—would further improve its utility.

Next is the "Herald’s Staff", a weapon that focuses on critical hits and overpower mechanics but falls short due to weak numerical scaling. Compared to other top-tier weapons, its damage output is simply too low. Restoring some of its beta-testing effects—such as granting bonuses to core skills—or significantly boosting its critical and overpower damage multipliers could make it competitive again. Adjusting its activation requirements, such as shortening the timing window for critical procs, would also help it feel more responsive in combat.

Then there’s "Andariel’s Visage", a helmet that provides poison-based benefits but has little value for classes that don’t rely on poison damage. Removing it from the loot tables of irrelevant classes (like Necromancer) would prevent frustration when farming for gear. Similarly, "Melted Heart of Selig", an amulet that boosts resource capacity, currently feels underwhelming. Increasing its percentage-based resource bonus or adding secondary effects (like critical damage scaling) would make it more appealing for resource-intensive builds.

Of course, not all Mythic Uniques need buffs. Items like "The Starless Skies" (ring) and "Shroud of the False Death" are well-balanced, offering unique mechanics without being overpowered. These can serve as benchmarks for how Mythic Uniques should function—providing meaningful power spikes while encouraging build diversity.

Ultimately, balancing Mythic Uniques requires a careful approach. Underperforming items need adjustments—whether numerical tweaks, mechanic refinements, or loot table optimizations—but overcorrection must be avoided to preserve game balance. Moving forward, Blizzard should consider player feedback and class balance data when refining these items.

As Diablo 4 evolves, players hope to see more compelling gear choices and viable builds. Mythic Uniques, as the pinnacle of equipment, should feel impactful and worth pursuing. With thoughtful adjustments, these items could become cornerstones of exciting new playstyles. If you have ideas on how to improve them, share your thoughts in the comments—let’s discuss how to make Mythic Uniques truly legendary.
