In response to Anume's request for ideas to turn some of the rare items into unique.
Since casters are moreso hurt by this change. Wouldn't it make sense to change some of the high svs items to unique?
My suggestions would include;
Helm of spell turning (is a source of massive saves, and is far too easy to get)
Djinni bands (same)
Maybe broken terminators
Crested shield of eternal darkness
Soulreaver shadow
Whipping tail of the manticore
Fire lance (A very easy to obtain item that is a very good weapon in addition to hitting vulns)
Maybe Ancient scroll
Glowing ember
tiamat scale/demon tongue (has become much easier to make items burnproof)
Slimy breastplate (thought should be improved a bit first)
