Item rarity

So after Tyrael/Mang Song/DWeb/Astreon what is the 5th rarest unique?|||That's probably Darkforce Spawn, but Death's Fathom is probably pretty rare as well. I'm assuming Baal drops BTW.|||http://diablo3.ingame.de/tips/calcs/...lt&window=true

Those are considered the rarest.|||Wow...I actually found an Astreons a couple ladders back and just charsi'd it after trying to trade it for a while. I had no idea it was that rare! lol|||There is no easy way to calculate rarity. Drop frequency from killing Hell Baal is a sensible method - and I use this method as well. But I spend very little time killing Hell Baal and I have spent many hundreds of hours playing Normal and Nightmare where high-level TC items cannot fall. So, for me, (and for most people who quest), TC-81, -84 and -87 items are much rarer than TC-3 level items even if they have comparable drop frequencies from Hell Baal.

Similarly if you run Baal, then Cow King Set items will be the rarest.|||Quote:

which ones? according to the drop calculator i just linked, tyraels might and all of the others listed can drop off bossmonsters in the pit.

as far as i know the only thing that can only drop off baal/nihl are some high-end charm affixes. but we're talking about uniques here, right?
