What unique would you add to the game? Get creative but be practical.

I would add an Enigma alternative in the form of

Boots, but I'm not talking about FRW.

Nightmare Hooves
Unique

Scarabshell Boots
Defense: 56-65
Durability: 14
Req Strength: 91
Req Level: 30
Quality Level: 87
Treasure Class: 63
Assassin Kick Damage: 60-110
Level 1

Vigor Aura when equipped
+1 to

Charge
-10 light radius

Having access to

Charge on all characters and a 1 point

Vigor Aura Synergy would make for an interesting Enigma alternative; As well as free up your body armor.
Inspirations:
I played Diablo 3 before this game and called back to Crusader's Steed

Charge Skill. Provided excellent mobility as I remember.
That gives these

Boots part of their name. Hooves of course, on horses but the Mare in Nightmare is also relating to horses. These

Boots could very easily be overpowered so I thought to throw some minus light radius on these, similar to Nadir Runeword. Also NIGHT-MARE. I do love wordplay.
The

Boots would carry a high quality level similar to

Arachnid Mesh but most notably have a lower level requirement than Enigma. So once you had them, new characters will love them.
You may too have heard the use of blinding as an adjective for speed.
"blinding speed" or "blinding fast"
So having speed stats and minus light radius makes even more practical sense to me.
Notably this unique would lack in other statistics and especially FRW for further balancing.

Would you rock a pair of Nightmare Hooves on your build?
Let me hear your thoughts and comment ideas for uniques you'd like to see added to Sanctuary!
Thanks so much for reading!

Love it. But add 40% FRW please

Of course if those existed, I would probably never wear any other

Boots.

-10 to light radius might actually be annoying, get rid of that too

Well the point of there not being FRW is that

Charge is unaffected by it. And

Charge negates the need to run at all lol.

Vigor level 1 adds 18% FRW.

Maybe the -light radius stat could roll from -5 to -10.
I figure the

Hellfire Torch would negate it and make it tolerable anyways. Gotta have balance. I don't love how OP some singular items are. They oughtta have trade offs. Take

Goblin Toe, for example... HUGE 25% CB but no other real good stats or FRW.

The internet has lied to me. I cannot believe it.
I am unsure how broken, stacking FRW would make them then if true.

considering there are ~400 uniques in the game out of which ~50 are any good i would rather remove some uniques and rework most remaining to be usable
... surprisingly, looking at the unique

Boots, none are completely terrible.. so maybe this idea could be implemented on a set pair of

Boots, from a terrible set, like tankred's or vidala's?

Perhaps. I do agree most uniques are borderline unusable. Runewords are simply too good. That reiterates my point that items need drawbacks sometimes. I know that is probably an unpopular opinion and most people just want to clear entire screens in seconds. I refuse to craft Grief. I probably never will. One user said it best on the item page, it is better to ask what build, Grief, is NOT BiS for.
That is a whole other topic, I was just interested in what the community could come up with as far as useful uniques that fill gaps in builds.

Deckard's Journal

A unique charm or equippable book that provides for unlimited item identifications.

Meshif's Scope

Another unique charm that increases the distance that you can discover the map geography.

I want a small charm that is a

Skeleton

Key and unlocks all the locked chests so I can quite caring about keys. Or maybe I want keys to auto pickup to 12, and then I can just run over the top of them.
