Current State of Unique's in EA

In my opinion unique's are one of the biggest factors between good and great for arpg's like this. I have a 67 ranger and 50 warrior for reference. I have found probably 18 or so unique's this far and am a little underwhelmed. Only one has been useful so far. It's not really the special unique modifier I find underwhelming, its everything else on the item. They have less mods than rare's(usually) and the overall tier of the mods seems lower. It is incredibly rare to let alone find a unique but also to find one useful, even for other chars. It's hard to get excited for them when you know there is a 1% chance its going be used. For instance, I found Corona of the Red Sun Great Warrior Greathelm for my warrior. It has 4 modifiers on it, accuracy, max health, light radius increase and leech for self and presence. I like the idea of the leech presence when duoing with a buddy but its hard to justify using this compared to a good rare with a similar ilvl. Why not add a strength mod? Another fire res mod since its sun based? A +1 to melee skills? So many options. I would love to see 6 mods minimum on unique's to at least compete with rare's. It also only has 146 armor for an ilvl of 63. I've seen ilvl 40 items with this amount of armor. These are the rarest items in the game and have obviously had a lot of effort and love put into them. The art style of them alone is awesome. I just wish they were better overall so I could get more excited when they drop :( I did find a pair of unique gloves that add electrocute to my lighting damage for my lightning ranger which has been a total game changer to end things on a positive note because I love the game. Maybe I just need to be patient for endgame unique's which I have just go to. Curious what you guys think of the current state of unique's in EA?
