I wish rares would make a comeback

[Jugalator]

I don't really get people who complain about rares, I get some awsome stuff(although mostly gloves)  on USEast....
Compressed screens of some of em:

This also shows that only gloves/boots/circlets use to be good, something I've noticed too. I don't think I have found a single rare weapon that has rivalled the best magic item I've found in the Expansion, and that's not good. Same goes for non-circlet headgear and body armor. But the problem can be blamed for magic-only affixes too. Something I'd like to see more is having those affixes removed and add new RARE-only affixes instead. Affixes that give some better damage (although not as good as Cruel, but better than what magic's can get), resistances and other modifiers. Perhaps even "special" modifiers like 10% crushing blow on gloves, etc. Something to make rares rival uniques when they're "perfect", and in other cases at least be better than magic's.
