UNIQUE VALUES

please add unique values to this set (and any other that lacks of it)

 

The Power of the Alliance set and the Untouchables sets are both "meh" sets. In general, I would categorize those sets as sets you use because you don't have better sets. The only exception is the Alliance Long Bow for the Rangers. None of the other pieces, or the set bonuses, are usable for any serious endgame build.

That said, let me translate what you are really saying: "I want better stats for the item I already use." Most items without unique values are junk because you should want better items. That bow being as usable as it is, is a fluke, and the only reason for that fluke is because there is no other really good longbows. A single fluke is not reason enough to make a junk set good.

 

every unique item should have an unique value, regardless the meh or endgame category

 

No, they shouldn't.

 

if you dont get the set there is almost no difference to a legendary then so what makes this item unique?

 

It has a set bonus. That is one of the things that makes it different from a legendary. You are not supposed to use only one piece from a set. The reason you don't use other pieces from this set is because the set bonus is garbage.

The second difference between this single item and a legendary is also the only reason the bow is useful. It allows you to find a high damage, high tier, version of this unique long bow and put crafted bow of any tier/base damage into it instead of hoping that you get high damage/tier on the legendary you craft. Someday DSO will release a long bow as part of a proper set and this bow from an otherwise useless set will be as obsolete as the rest of the pieces.

 

1. a lot of people use only 1 piece from a set because of the unique value (arachna/medusa amulet, bloodtooh, et cetera)
2. unique items are not only for placing your crafts
3. 'someday' could be very far away

 

Yes, but those sets are also useful as full sets, not just as lone pieces. They simply have the advantage of fitting into the gaps of most other builds well.

Not all of them, but the one you are demoing above is.

True, but when/if it comes, no one will even remember the Alliance bow.

And if you don't like that long bow the way it is, switch to a 2H build and enjoy the EA spam that is so popular these days. It has a unique value for you to embrace.
