There are other topics about this, but I'm gonna propose how to buff them.

A few options:

• Have multiple tiers for each unique item. At Uniques found above item level 75 will be tier 2, with higher mods, base item stats, and possibly additional mods. Uniques found above item level 150 will be tier 3, with higher mods, base item stats, and possibly additional mods over the tier 1 and 2 versions.

• Uniques scale up in base item stats and the mods scale up based on item level.

• Ability to put slots on uniques. Even if they scaled up in stats with item level, if you can't slot them they'll always be trash compared to a decently rolled Legendary item. So slots are important.

• Some higher level uniques that are actually really strong. That don't drop below level 150-180.

This might make me consider using a unique in just one of my slots over a Legendary. Maybe.
