iirc, don’t take my swiss cheese memory on it, someone did the math and double magi ring came out slightly ahead or something, like 3.5% double magi vs 3% alkamos 
*that was after the increase to 10?% tho i think, so before it was probably lower
and ouf, maybe we do need a different item colouring/highlighting for uniques, so people don’t lump special stuff like vanquisher in with “generic” legends 
I don’t get how this is different from greens, but hey, to each their own
The difference is you know that it’s unique and you save it, but greens that drop so much that you don’t care about them. Also if you are relatively new player and hadn’t inspected all specializations you don’t understand which of them can be used at all.
it’s really not, imo less after we got 100% drops etc
Unsure what it is, but i think it might be a couple things
One is simply in the old days MIs were way more rare, potentially actually hard to drop, and you couldn’t even volume drop them like legends either. (and before 1.1.4? many MIs weren’t even that good)
Other perhaps being you’re only even guaranteed the base stats, so if you need or a build “uses” XY affixes it’s seen as mandatory or near mandatory(often incorrect perception but also sometimes true); and it’s then the affixes that makes it harder to obtain and “more” rng than legends.
Hmm yeah maybe in the past. I’ve had enough lengendaries that ‘never’ drop, but I get showered with MIs. And yeah maybe it takes a while to get the right affix, but at least you can target farm them 
Not to say you can easily get the right affix, but at least you can settle for a sub-par item, while with the legendaries you either have it or you don’t.
Anyway, I don’t want to distract too much from this build!
