This is based on an idea Top and I had months ago, basically, customized sets. Take a basic set, give it good set bonuses, then create some "mini-sets" around it. These secondary sets would have decent bonuses, but when combined with the primary set...whoa Nelly.

For some practice, I've put together an all-elite barbarian set, with each configuration based on the three guardians of Mt. Arreat. (In a fit of non-imagination, nearly every piece is elite. I know a bit more about barbarians now, so I've been tweaking the pieces a bit here and there, but could use some help. Basically, I wanted to make the sets nice, but not too nice; I don't know if I succeeded or not.)

Yeah, this is a report. Help tweak it a bit, because you never know. maybe Blizz is watching... <_<

Well, I must say, this unique item creation thing is quite interesting indeed. B)

Anyway, here's a unique item I came up with to counteract the "Holy" nature of most items:

Soul Gorger
Unique Item - Rune Sword
8% Life Steal
250% Enhanced Damage
50% Chance of Deadly Strike
50% Chance to cast Level 10 Weaken on Strike
-2 Life Drain
-6 to Light Radius
35% Chance to cast Level 15 Lower Resist on Strike
+100 Magic Damage
+100 Fire Damage

Well, that's it for you :D

[BlackLightning]

Nice picture with the "Bill".
I wonder if they made one for Geoff Fraizer? Heck, he's already got a monster named after him (Reziarfg), so a weapon would help follow the tradition.

[Occhidiangela]

Since a bunch of old Diablo I stuff got resurrected for Lord of Destruction, then why not go for the uberest of uber items, and toss in the old Diablo I "gets a sucky affix also when you get that unique." Griswold Edge and Knockback, anyone?

The Obsidian Amulet of the Heavens:

31-40% Resist All
+11-15 to all attributes
12% chance, when struck, to cast Inner Sight (on you) at slvl = your clvl / 5

Obsidian Ring of the Zodiac

31-40% Resist All
+16-20 to all Attributes
7% penalty to experience gained

And of course

Godly Plate of the Whale
Elite Full Plate Style of Armor.

0.3 per clvl Physical Damage Reduced
0.2 per clvl Magical Damage Reduced
12 % chance when struck of casting Attract (on self)
NPC's refer to you as a "Cheating Pubbie" during conversations in Town.

For example: Cain says "Hello, Cheating Pubbie, stay a while and listen."

Let's make it interesting, shall we? :)

LOL! At first, I was thinking, "why?" but then I thought back to D1, and remembered... That item can't drop!! :) And since it is elite full plate mail, it might as well never drop. :P

[Ahvae'el]

Here's one runeword:

Boredom
FalLumIoKoShaelOrt
6 Socket Weapons

+2 to All Skil Levels
700% Enhanced Damage versus Other Players
+10 to All Attributes
1-100 Lightning Damage

Spicy.

Buena Suerte.
