Why is gear still "unique"?

[Granyala]

Thanks, that makes sense. Since I don't engage in content where an extra 0.08% of crit is relevant, to me it's just a nuisance.

Pretty sure it's precisely targeting the casual crowd, so they either do normal mode raid or grab a ring from a crafter.
Raid folks don't care, one ring from savage + one ring from tomes, case closed.
