Rares

Rares. Another new addition to the game. Rares are not very, very hard to find like Unique items, but aren't as commen as Magical items. Only one per 100,000 games on battle.net will be found(!!!) So they are like a cross between Uniques and Magical items. But they have mutiple modifiers, as many or more than Unique items(you may find ones with 10 modifiers). Also the item modifiers will be randomly choosen, ex. +25 to Attack Rating, +4 to Life, 200% to Undead. Note they are easily confused with Unique items, the Unique item text is deep gold and Rares are bright yellow text.

Here you will find some of the Rare items in the game.

If you find any really good rares, please send them in here.

	Well, it seems this item can deal out tons of damage, good magical porperties like that 4-6 Cold Damage, +3 to Min Damage. But the bad thing is its got a slow attck rate, but a very well balanced item.
	All I can say is whoa! this is an excellent item. The Damage is quite high too. Look at the magical properties its got, -10 to Monster Defense Per Hit, 6% Life Stolen Per Hit, Enhanced Damage, +79 to Attack Rate and Attack Rate Increase. A very useful Spear in the hands of an Amazon.
	A good item for a Sorceress. 6 modifires. Again a very good item, that fast cast rate will be useful when surronded by a pack of monsters, she would quickly disppose of them. That +2 to Ice Bolt is good too, giving her that extra damage she might need.
	Lots of modifires one this one. Would be useful for a low level character.
	This is a pretty decent bow here. A bit of elemental damage, the fire 2-6 damage, the poison damage is 2-7. The +2 to Max Damage is good as well, so I wouldn't mind using it for a level 10-13 Bow Amazon.
	Yet another decent item here. 6 modifires on this one! and all good too. One thing I like is the 6% Mana Stolen Per Hit, just so you won't have to keep using mana potions. The + 6 to Max Damage is great too, a normal crossbow does 7-11 damage, but this does 8-17. So again a good and useful item here.
	Hmm, well lots of modifers on this ring. Here you will see a new modifire not included in Diablo, which is a % Extra Gold From Monsters, which is very cool, especialy to a low level character. In this item its 51% Extra Gold From Monsters, and the +22 to attack rating isn't very commen which makes this ring a good rare.
	Here we have a very interesting item which I really like. The 2 things that make this item stand out is #1 Adds 1-16 Lightning Damage, that is extremly high lightning damage, #2 is +103 to Attack Rating, again a very big number, not very commen. I like this item, good for the mighty Paladin or the brute Barabarian.
	Again an item with a very high adding attack rating, that +102!. Good damage, I like the 4% Life Stolen Per Hit( just like the Undead Crown from Diablo). So not a very bad item at all.
	Another good item here. Gives a decent amount of damage. The 4% Life Stolen Per Hit and the 5% Mana Stolen Per Hit is good too. It has a high posion damage 4-14. So this is a pretty good item.
	Lots of good modifiers on this one. And all good. Gives a high attack rating, some ok magic resistances and adds +3 to Min Damage, which is also cool.
	A nice pair of boots here. The best modifier on this is Fast Run/Walk, which is new to Diablo2, gives your character an extra running boost(makes you rund/walk faster).
	Great Axe for the Barbaian. The one thing I like on this Axe is the 4-10 Cold Damage, this is the highest I've yet seen on a rare item, Cold Damage is very crucial because it slows monsters down, slowing down thier attack rating and over all movement, which buys you some time to finish off some other monster you're facing if you get surronded by a pack of monsters. The +114 to Attack rating is awesome making your attacking speed even greater and if I was to rate this item out of 10 I would give is 9/10, I really like it.
	Some not so bad pair of Chain Boots. The one thing I like about is Heal Stamina Plus 50%, this is really good when your getting chased by a pack of monsters and lossing stamina fast, just stop for a sec and it'll recharge 50 times faster than normal, pretty cool huh? So this item ain't the best but its not the worst, its so-so.
	This is a excellent item, gives you a very high amount of cold damage(4-11) adds +4 to Min Damage, +2 to Max Damage, +16 to Attack Rating and +1 point of Man After Each Kill, makes this item a, killer one!
	A really nice pair of boots here. One of the cool modifiers is 104% Extra Gold From Monsters, this is another new modifier in Diablo2, I think its great, sence gold isn't found very often these boots give you that little extra gold thta you need, like instead of normally getting gold from 3/10 monsters, you could be getting like 8/10 from monsters. Plus this item gives some ok magic resistances.
	This is a wand preferly for the Necromancer, there are 7 modifiers on this wand. My most favourite ones are: Prevent Monster Heal, +3 to Min Damage, +1 to Amplify Damage [Necromancer Only]......those are all great, nice wand for a say level 10-12 Necromancer.
	Another great sword here. The -25 to Monster Defense Per Hit is awesome, the +118 to Attack Rating is good too. This is good over all item, lots of different modifiers, the 1-2 cold damage, enhanced damage, 4% Mana Stolen Per Hit etc.
	This Hunter's Bow has pretty high, 4-15 damage. Normal one deals out about 3-5 damage. So here we have a not so bad low-level-character bow for the Amazon.
	Check out this! 10 modifiers! and all good ones, this item is for the Necromancer, the +2 to Skeleton Mastery[Necromancer Only), +1 to Amplify Damage[Necromancer Only], +1 to Clay Golem[Necromancer Only], and the rest are great for the Necromancer! This item is a must for the Necromancer!
	Yet another amazing item here. Deals out high damage. 7-49, the 2 most coolest modifiers on this item is: a really high Lightning damage, 1-32 and the +155 to Attack Rating. But the only bad thing about this Bardiche is the slow attack rate. But in the end this a really good item.
	Here we have a decent item for your Holy Warrior, the Paladin. Nice base damage, some good modifiers, so not bad at all.
	Another good bow, this has the highest damage I've seen on a Long Bow yet, 6-26 is good, the +86 to Attack Rating is great too, giving you a faster attacking speed.
	A cool one here, the damage is 18-31, which is high, and one of the good things about this item is it steals 11% Man Per Hit. So this item ain't so bad.
	Ok so far as of June 28 this is the best Rare item I've yet to see, the armor is just out standing! 435! +37 to Mana is great too, so this is truely a powerful item.
	A Giant Axe, it deals out a great amount of damage 39-60(dam) and has a high poison damage, and isn't so bad for a high level character like the Barbarian.
	A very nice staff for the Sorceress, this is what I'd call a perfect item. The +2 to Fire Ball is useful because if you're a Sorc in the Fire skill tree you'd use this skill right after Fire Bolt, and everything else about this item is great.
