Reading up a bit on the bladebone axe and the baal rare drop made me post this . I have just done a hell meph run , quite a few , pick up crap and sell , always on the lookout for a decent rare . 2 minutes ago a rare Hand scythe dropped with 216 Durability . As far as I know there are no Unique Hand scythes , so what makes the durability on this so high ? I killed nothing in this game except for meph btw .
Take care

When the game decides to spawn a unique, it makes a list of all the uniques it can be with that base item and that ilvl. If the list is empty, you get a triple-durability rare. Otherwise, it randomly picks one of the uniques on the list (it's a weighted random; different uniques have different weights). Then, if the unique it picked has already spawned in that game, you get a triple-durability rare. Otherwise, you get the unique it picked.
So you get a triple-durability rare if it tries to spawn a unique that has already spawned in that game or if there are no uniques possible with that base item and ilvl.
